The framework emphasizes:
Governance: Strong leadership by agencies like CIS (MHA), Interpol, NCB, I4C, S4C, and District Cyber Police, facilitated by interconnected IT systems like Cyber CCTNS-JMIS and JCCT.
Identification: Proactive enforcement, information gathering and analysis, and intelligence gathering are crucial to nip threats in the bud.
Protection: CERT-In and NCIIPC play a vital role in shielding critical infrastructure through Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).
Detection: Threat intelligence, darkweb monitoring, Security Operations Centers (SOCs), and complaints on NCRP/CCTNS are essential for early warning.
Response: Digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) capabilities, coupled with breach notification guidelines by CERT-In, are critical for swift damage control.
Recovery: E-discovery and robust backup systems ensure business continuity in the face of attacks.
Investigation: Following legal procedures for search and seizure, meticulous case file preparation, asset forfeiture, and specialized investigation techniques are key to gathering evidence and bringing perpetrators to justice.
Prosecution: Awareness training for prosecutors and judges, combined with judicial awareness and focus on conviction rates, are vital for effective punishment and deterrence.
Prof. Singh’s framework resonated strongly with the audience, comprising cyber security professionals, law enforcement officials, and industry leaders.
