An Initiative to safeguard Indian companies against Cyber Bully!
Problem: Indian Start up companies being targeted intentionally to: hurt goodwill, miss directing information and crating bad company review on forums and discussion channels. This has challenged our Government's ability to provide safety and security about cyberspace miss conduct. It has become inevitable for us to ask very vital questions like: Does it have direct impact on business generated in India? What plan and strategy do we need to have? How to improve the genuine reviews and remarks make them accountable. What is the economic impact on growth of Indian Start up? Modi’s Digital India initiative and Indian startup dilemma?
With security of Indian companies in cyberspace POM has initiated “National Cyber Security Coordinator” in 2014 but lack of serious efforts to restrict the data flow made Indian conscious mind to ask questions. Indian companies worked hard to build reputation in domestic and international market, shall we let this reputation and hard work go in vain? With Digital India initiative to get Indian on the digital age ! to provide every one access to internet & improved online infrastructure and by increasing Internet connectivity or by making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology. But lack of cyber security manpower for digital India initiative has put the entire project in jeopardy.
With reference to livemint cyber attacks costs India reportedly lost a whopping $4 billion in fiscal 2016 resulting bank to opt for insurance against these type of attacks. The Hindu says in 2013 that “India appears to be the ransomware capital of Asia Pacific with 11 per cent victims of this form of virtual extortion, the report says, adding in the last 12 months, 56 per cent of cyber crime victims in India have experienced online bullying, online stalking, online hate crime or other forms of online harassment.”
India is hosting ‘5th Global Conference for Cyberspace’ in November 2017, with more than 100 countries, 50 Ministerial Delegates, shall we ask a question now why Indian companies should suffer for lack of security, lack of control on data flow, and lack of accountability of making comments about companies goodwill? Is it not online bullying? Is it is not time for us to make an efforts to get matter in Supreme authority to make things correct?
