NEW DELHI: NASSCOM today released “India Cyber Cop Awards 2005: Compilation of cases” in association with KPMG.

Minister for Information Technology Dayanidhi Maran released the book and felicitated the India Cyber Cop Award 2005 winner – Sanjay Jadhav of Maharashtra Police, at the NASSCOM seminar on Cyber Crime: Today and Tomorrow, here.

The book is a compendium of investigations, which were nominated for the India Cyber Cop Award 2005. The awards were specially instituted to recognise and reward law enforcers resolving cyber crimes in the country. This is an honour that is conferred upon police officials not only for their commendable work but also to bring awareness of better and useful investigative skills in resolving cyber crimes.

Kiran Karnik, president NASSCOM, said, “The increasing use of IT in our day to day lives has brought both new challenges and threats. Amongst the most significant is the security threat - including data theft, piracy, hacking, identity theft, violation of intellectual property rights, etc. Such cyber crimes are on the rise around the world. While India continues to be amongst the safest places from this point of view, there is need to be continually vigilant and mount special efforts to fight these illegal activities. In addition to strengthening the legal infrastructure, creating an effective enforcement framework including training officers - which is currently underway, creating awareness on the impending threat of cyber crime is also equally vital.”

“It is with this objective that NASSCOM has put together this compendium of investigations, to showcase work done by dedicated police officials in India and share best practices that can be adopted to prevent such mishaps in organizations. We hope this will be of use to police officers, fraud management professionals and those interested in knowing about trends in cyber crimes in India”, he added.

Commenting on the release of the book, Pradeep Udhas, executive director, KPMG said, “Cyber security is a combined responsibility of corporates, judiciary, law makers, enforcement agencies (like Police), associations (like NASSCOM), consulting organizations and most importantly individuals behaving as responsible citizens. This book is a pioneering example of industry joining hands with law enforcement agencies towards combating crime in society. The book shall provide practical insights on how cyber crimes happen and the guilty get punished”

The book has detailed 16 cyber crime cases dealing with issues ranging across issues like data theft, creating fake profiles, online stock exchange fraud, cyber sexual harassment, misuse of confidential customer information and theft and sale of proprietary data, among others.
