IMPOSE COMPLETE BAN ON CYBER PORNOGRAPHY IN ORDER TO SECURE WOMEN & CHILDREN FROM SEXUAL ABUSE
- DR. S. AMAR PRASAD REDDY
Additional Director – General, National Cyber Safety and Security Standards.
Let me bring to the Nation’s knowledge that Cyber Pornography is the main factor which is creating unusual situations for Women and Children in our country. Controlling and monitoring each cyber pornography website manually, and to check whether it contains sexual abuse material against women and children is very tough and impossible.
1. Cyber pornography is not sex education. In fact we are hearing every day that most of the porn stars are getting affected with STDs like HIV, AIDS etc. which clearly admits that it doesn’t teaching (or) practicing safe sex. Due to this, I am very much worried about the young generation of our country. By talking about the freedom of surfing we can’t kill the moral value of our society.
2. Almost 99.9% of Cyber Pornography websites contains and promotes sex videos captured by the hidden cameras, no one can deny this fact then what about the individual privacy and also think about the pain undergoing by the victims. Most of the victims doesn’t know how the video has been taken and how it got uploaded in cyber pornography websites. I am not against to the sex education but at the same time we can’t allow such disaster to happen in our society.
(Continued…)
3. Even when the victim files a complaint in cyber crime cell. Most of the cases, the police can’t establish communication with the owner of cyber pornography websites. This leads to the unfortunate circumstances and the video will be available in online all the time. In fact the video will be shared in all other cyber pornography websites. My question is who will answer these victims whether the social activists (or) people who are talking about the freedom of surfing?
4. One side the Government and sex advisors are promoting safe sex and in fact huge campaigns for using condoms and its importance have been presented in various ways to the public, but other side the pornography websites promoting unsafe sex, sex videos from hidden cameras and which leads the young generation to the moral & physical disaster. If such thing continues then we will be helpless to stop the menace of sexual abuse against Women & Children.
5. Some Social Activists without knowing the facts, they are demonstrating their protest for banning 857 cyber pornography websites. There are thousands of Women whose videos have been uploaded in these pornography websites and who will take the responsibility of this Uploading Act. If we allow such a free forum to upload anybody’s sexual videos in Internet and it will cause huge impact for our social & physical safety of Women & Children.
6. In fact there are many online sex games which are also available in Internet. These online sex games creating tremendous impact on youth and it triggers them to commit sexual violence against Women and Children which are also need to be banned immediately.
7. Finally all cyber pornography websites promotes
Cultural disasters like “Son is having sex with Mother”, etc.
Unsafe Sex, etc.
Hidden Videos of Sex, etc.
The National Cyber Safety and Security Standards has decided to form the High Level Committee to address “the issues of Cyber Pornography and its impact on future generations” especially Women & Children. The Committee will be headed by Honourable Justice Dr. S. Mohan, Former Judge, Supreme Court of India & Chairman, National Cyber Safety and Security Standards and Dr. S. Amar Prasad Reddy, Additional Director – General, National Cyber Safety and Security Standards.

NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (NCSFDP) FOR NATIONAL RESOURCE CENTRES (TAMIL NADU)
Date & Time: 09th April, 2016, 10 AM to 6 PM
Venue: CEG’s TAG Auditorium, Anna University, Guindy, Chennai.
Today Cyber Security is a daunting National Security Problem, and we're applying decades of expertise to the task. As the most networked nation on earth, the India is extremely vulnerable. To keep systems safe and foil attacks, National Cyber Safety and Security Standards develops protective technologies, conduct threat assessments, and analyze Government, Military, and Civilian computer networks.
Colleges and Universities report astounding rates of cyber attacks, with millions of hacking attempts into information systems. Educational institutions are also vulnerable to losing valuable intellectual property such as patents awarded to faculty and students, as well as personal information of students and faculty/staff. Because of the frequency of cyber attacks on institutions of higher learning, the need for increased cyber awareness has never been greater. It is not enough just to entertain the idea of advanced cyber security in Educational Institutions, but action must be taken, as the future of National Security across the country depends on it.
National Cyber Safety and Security Standards have been started with great vision to safeguard the Nation from the current threats in the Cyber Space. The multi-dimensional structure of technology in the Cyberspace poses a great challenge in handling the complex problems in the Cyber Domain. National Cyber Safety and Security Standards have done an extensive research in the Cyber domain to understand the nature of cyber threats and Cyber Crimes. We have understood that the multi-faceted cyber technology cannot be handled by common standards and security policies.
The National Cyber Safety and Security Standards is an Autonomous Body which is controlled and monitored by the High Level Committee Chaired by Honourable Justice Dr. S. Mohan, Former Judge, Supreme Court of India and Chairman, National Cyber Safety and Security Standards.
National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP):
Crime in the world of computers is the latest and at the moment, a difficult nut to crack. There is no business without e-Business or e-Commerce. Whether it is Industry, Government bodies, Banks, Service sectors, etc. it is computers and Information Technology that are at play and thus hacking has become a very real and major threat. In our everyday lives, we cannot function without the use of this technology. Cyber-crimes cause more harm to society that traditional crimes. Entire institutions infrastructure operations can be hacked, thus affecting a whole society. Thus whether it is hacking, spamming, cyber theft, cyber fraud, cyber terrorism, all these different types of hacking should be treated as more grievous than a traditional crime. Cyber-attacks are becoming global in nature and in addition to data thefts, strategic and sensitive information can also be gathered by countries. Malware like Stuxnet, Duqu, Flame etc., have also become so sophisticated that it is not possible to tackle them using the regular cyber security products. Cyber-attacks can be sudden, or in some cases be so covert, that they can remain hidden for days and even months. Cyber space in India is also fast changing and with more and more activity moving to the net, we need to be able to match our skills accordingly.
One way to tackle these emerging threats is to train and develop a dedicated work force that can detect and prevent attacks at different levels. National Cyber Safety and Security Standards multi-disciplinary team employs the best and brightest to thwart Cyber Attacks. NCSSS is focused on building science and engineering foundations for Cyber Security. Research and development is focused on making today's systems more secure while planning for tomorrow's technology. The National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP), creates a pipeline of qualified professionals in Cyber Security and protection to address homeland security needs. It gives faculty & students practical experience in computer systems, network operations, and information protection.
National Resource Centre (NCSP):
In brief, National Cyber Security Programme will be setting up resource centers across the country in collaboration with various colleges and universities, with the following primary objectives:
To showcase to industry the environment and skills of students & faculty who are a part of the resource center.
To provide students & faculty with a hands on environment, so they can practice what they learn.
To provide opportunities towards advanced research and publishing of papers for deserving students & faculty.
To provide a platform for institutions to train their Students & Faculty in cyber security.
To assist the Institutions in cyber forensics.
In order to achieve these objectives, National Cyber Safety & Security Standards (NCSSS) plans to set up National Resource Centres across India, with the goal of conducting Cyber Security Awareness, Training & Research.
Awareness
Higher education is one sector at exceptionally high risk of devastating attacks. Schools, Colleges and Universities report astounding rates of cyber attacks, with millions of hacking attempts into information systems. While social security and bank account numbers are always at risk, higher education institutions are also vulnerable to losing valuable intellectual property such as patents awarded to faculty and students, as well as personal information of students and faculty/staff. Because of the frequency of cyber attacks on institutions of higher learning, the need for increased cyber awareness has never been greater. Students, Faculty & everyone in the higher education industry need to know about the real-life problems of identity theft and cyber attacks that can devastate a Institution's infrastructure and its personnel's livelihood.
In order to provide adequate personnel and resources to combat and stop these threats, higher education institutions need to see the bigger picture of intense cyber security threats that can do more damage than a hacker stealing someone's email login. There is a reason National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP) was instituted, and why digital professionals seek to bring higher education professionals into higher-level security discussions.
Training
National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP) will thus aim to impart a strong awareness amongst the members on cyber security and its importance. Induction will be provided by a team of well experienced and professional trainers to Faculty of Resource Centre on frequent intervals. The trained faculty can organize or conduct awareness programs/seminars/conferences/events at wherever possible to create skilled work force in Cyber Security domain.
Research
Cyber security plays a major role in today’s cyberspace, from information security to network security and data security. From the social point of view cyber safety has different interpretations reflecting different concerns. For public, it is the safety and protection of their freedoms, rights and guarantees, in particular their individual privacy, from one perspective, the concepts of privacy, confidentiality, and security are quite distinct and possess different attributes. Privacy is a property of individuals; confidentiality is a property of data; and security is a property assigned to computer hardware and software systems. From a practical perspective, the concepts are interwoven. A system that does not maintain data confidentiality or individual privacy could be theoretically or even mathematically "secure," but it probably wouldn't be wise to deploy anywhere in the real world. For companies and industries, is ensuring the availability of critical business activities and the protection of confidentiality and integrity of data.

Starting from the Stone Age, it has always been human psyche to protect itself from external threats. The ideas, tricks and the methodology of protection from evil and intruding threat factors have also evolved over the time. Initially we, the humans, had to guard ourselves from physical threats like invaders and the looters. Nowadays, with the rising popularity of cyber connectivity and worldwide interlinking, the evil has also evolved in the form of breach of cyber security. It is a virtual world we have created and we have to be well prepared to protect and sustain our virtual world from the virtual invaders.
The country is in need of more cyber security experts to secure the data which is vital for our overall development of the Nation. The outcome of this National Cyber Defence Summit 2016 is mainly focusing on “Cyber Mission India” – The Project to Protect India.

Date & Time: 24th Oct, 2016 Between 12.00 to 13.30 hrs
Venue: Hotel ACCORD, Puducherry.
In the fast changing global security scenario, safeguarding the Nation's critical infrastructure- from physical and cyber threats that can affect internal security, public safety and economic growth is of paramount importance for all countries.
The recent development of India economy attracts the attention of developed countries and act like a Rival to their Leading positions. This Intern made them to lay the possible ways to inhibit the growth of India. In the past, cyber attacks have been mostly initiated from countries such as the US, Turkey, China, Brazil, Pakistan, Algeria, Turkey, Europe and the UAE. With the growing adoption of internet and Smartphone, India has emerged as one of the most favorite countries among cyber criminals, said the study.
India has the second largest number of internet users in the world after China. The total number of internet users by the end of 2014 has been pegged at 302 million. With ever increasing number of net users, there has also been marked surge in the cyber crime rate in the country. India's registered cyber crime leapt 350% in 3 years and the legal system is struggling to cope with more and more law-breakers exploiting the anonymity of the internet. Cyber crimes are threatening the Nation's Security and financial health. Issues surrounding these types of crimes have become high-profile, particularly those surrounding cracking, copyright infringement, child grooming etc. There are also problems of privacy when confidential information is lost or intercepted, lawfully or otherwise. Large scale cyber-attacks may devastate the Government, public and private sector resources and services by disrupting the functioning of Critical Information Systems, which may threaten Lives, Economy and National Security.
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has also reported a surge in the number of incidents handled by it, with close to 50,000 security incidents in 2015," noted the study titled 'Protecting interconnected systems in the cyber era'. More than 24000 of these cases are registered under the IT Act and the remaining under the various sections of IPC and other State Level Legislations (SLL).
The need of the hour is to educate the masses the adverse impact of the crime in the Society and the steps to be taken to counter the same unitedly. Due to this, the National Cyber Safety and Security Standards have taken visionary initiatives to curb and enervate the notoriously spreading cyber threats from various directions and dimensions.
