“Only advanced technologies can prevent cyber crimes”
Devising new technologies that could prevent cyber crimes such as hacking, and strengthening cyber security were the need of the hour, said Madras High Court Judge C.T. Selvam here on Saturday.

Inaugurating the National Cyber Defence Research Centre (NCDRC) on the Kalasalingam University campus, a first of its kind for the State, he said that there were laws to punish the guilty, but only advanced technologies to prevent crimes would help in protecting privacy of individuals and ensuring a society free of cyber crimes.

The information technology sector being a high-growth industry, technological solutions to prevent cyber crimes were all the more needed, he said. “Silicon Valley runs on Indian brains…Microsoft engages many Indians... these are, of course, feathers in our cap. However, there is danger when IT prowess is misused. Cyber crimes lead to intrusion of individuals’ privacy, and sometimes result in their reputation getting tarnished. It can even hurt the nation when critical information is leaked. Like the super conductor for electricity, we need such devices for prevention of cyber crimes,” he said.

In his presidential address, Justice T.N. Vallinayagam, chairman, NCDRC (TN), said that the idea of setting up the NCDRC on the campus of an educational institution was to create awareness of the importance of confidentiality among students and widen the scope of job opportunities.

S. Amar Prasad Reddy, Additional Director General, National Cyber Safety and Security Standards (NCSSS), said that no nation could protect its cyberspace in isolation. Cyber security was a global problem that required coordinated action among nations. The centre, established at a cost of about Rs. 40 lakh, would be controlled by the NCSSS and the team members would focus on cyber forensics.

“We can monitor any hardware or software that puts nation’s security at risk,” he said.

The NCDRC had planned to open 60 such centres across the country in a phased manner and the second centre in the State would come up in Coimbatore shortly.

Kalasalingam University Vice-Chancellor Saravana Sankar said that the facility would be of much benefit to the students.

Use less. The level of engineers i personally know in India is shit. These IITians have made IT service sector better and serving as a hifi labor in UsA.what will they do? Lol

you need pure maths and pure computer science students who do some serious research. Instead of coding hacking etc. Which can understand the level of threat, level of defence, level of attack.

unless until you do not have capability of developing yoir own OS for commercial level. Not copied OS but seriouslly indigenous till tjen you forget that any data you have will be protected. because the OS what gov use are basically US. The U company tells how to secure their network when using their software. Just bookish knowledge from manual.

Yahan toh bc, coding karte hai bass no proper research in CS.

So how does the govt tackle the points you made about the lack of qualified researchers? $40 crores and opening such facilities is a start better than what Congress did say 50 yrs at least?

What we need is a university that will teach hacking and create an army of hackers.

Attack is the best defence.

My question is where fuk was the gov't 2-3 decades ago? Where was the vision and the planning? With the creationof the internet, did we not imagine the pro's and con's? What actions to take and pursue?

South Indians students have the potential to become the best hackers/developers in the world.

You dont need 2-3 decades to start a university..Cyber crimes was wide spread from the 90's..On that time period, every other political parties ruled India

Yes and when BJP was in power it was Vajpayee who set up the Indo US Cyber Security Forum to tackle this problem. Today this university is the culmination of those BJP days.
