Another concern is personal digital space and security. Cybercrime is on the rise as computers, smartphones, and the internet become more widely available around the world. Women’s and children’s cybercrime is also on the rise. This threat must be addressed immediately. Women and children are victims of cybercrime such as pornography, stalking, fraud, and hacking. The majority of these are the result of a lack of awareness and knowledge about internet use.
Governments must be fully prepared to deal with cyber-attacks and cyber-crime as government services become more computerised. As a result, not only is cyber security a big concern for the general public or industry, but also for law enforcement organisations and governments. The Chief Minister also stated that this conference is more important in this situation.
Chief Minister highlighted that cyber crime statistics provided by Interpol and the NCRB reveal that our children and youth are constantly under threat in the cyber world, and if they do not use digital devices and services responsibly, they may become victims of cybercrime.
Naturally, the Kerala Police has been at the forefront of policing technology utilisation. Kerala Police’s innovative programmes, such as Cyberdome, Drone Forensic Lab, Child Sexual Exploitation Cell, CCTNS, and Poll-App, have received international acclaim.
The Chief Minister praised Kerala Police for becoming one of the best forces in the country and all those who work for it.
