Challenges in Information Security for India Enforcment Agencies

1. Challenges in Information Security for Indian Enforcement Agencies This presentation will analyze critical challenges in securing India’s digital ecosystem, covering law enforcement agencies, CERT-In, and national security frameworks. by Yogesh Garg

2. Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape Sophisticated Attacks Ransomware (2023 AIIMS attack), AI-driven phishing, state-sponsored APTs (e.g., China’s APT41). Surge in Volume 11.8% rise in cybercrimes (NCRB 2022); 815 million health records breached (ICMR 2023). Emerging Risks IoT botnets, deepfake scams (2023 Manipur incident).

3. Outdated Legal Frameworks IT Act, 2000 No provisions for deepfakes, cryptojacking, or IoT exploits. Data Protection Delays Digital Personal Data Protection Act (2023) yet to be fully enforced. Global Gaps Lacks alignment with GDPR, CCPA.

4. Jurisdictional Complexities Inter-State Crimes Jamtara phishing gangs operating across Bihar/Jharkhand borders. Cross-Border Challenges Slow MLAT processes; attribution issues (e.g., North Korean Lazarus Group). Diplomatic Hurdles Geopolitical tensions with China/Pakistan delay responses.

5. Inadequate Cybersecurity Infrastructure 1 Obsolete Tools Legacy OS in government systems (e.g., 2023 Delhi electricity discom attack). 2 Insider Threats UIDAI data leaks (2018) due to employee corruption. 3 Poor Cyber Hygiene Weak passwords, unsecured Wi-Fi in offices.

6. Skill & Resource Shortages Talent Gap 40% cybersecurity workforce shortage (ISACA 2023). Training Deficits Limited expertise in blockchain, dark web monitoring. Budget Constraints India’s 1B cybersecurity budget vs. China’s 15B.

7. Privacy & Data Protection Risks Ambiguity in Data Handling CoWIN data breach allegations (2023). Citizen Trust Issues Underreporting due to fear of privacy violations. Need for Clarity Urgency in implementing data protection laws.

8. Coordination Gaps 1 Siloed Operations Poor inter-agency collaboration (e.g., state vs. federal). 2 Underutilized Systems National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, NATGRID. 3 Real-Time Sharing Need for AI-driven threat intelligence platforms.

9. Public Awareness & Reporting Underreporting Only 10–15% cybercrimes reported (NCRB). Rural Challenges Low digital literacy; phishing scams via SMS/voice calls. Campaigns Needed "Digital Shakti" for citizen education.

10. Emerging Tech Challenges 1 AI/Deepfakes Political misinformation (2023 election deepfake videos). 2 Encryption Battles WhatsApp traceability debates (2019). 3 Social Media Radicalization 2020 Delhi riots fueled by fake news.
