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.
