As
we read previously, Indian Government was about to tie up with a
community of ethical hackers to protect the country’s cyberspace. Well,
we didn’t have a very detailed idea on what and when were the next steps
to be taken by the government. Turns out, the government already had
kept everything ready.
There was a National Security Database (NSD) which was running secretly on invitation only basis, for the past two years. The database already contains a fairly large number of hackers and developers who have intense knowledge in their fields. NSD, is a project of ISAC- Information Sharing and Analysis Center, which is a non profit organisation, working with the government for the improvement of Cyber Security in India.
The program is all set to launch on 26th November 2011 at the International Malware Conference, MalCon, in Mumbai. Companies like QuickHeal and Security compass have also given support to the database. Major Companies have also expressed their interest in hiring the professionals enrolled in the NSD program.
NSD have created categories like Reverse Engineering, Malware analysis etc. and will place the professionals, according to their area of expertise. They will collectively collaborate with the police departments and monitor every form of cyber attack which could either indicate an upcoming major terrorist attack, or a threat against someone.
This approach to indulge nation’s most skilled individuals to work against cyber crime is a unique and promising thing for our country. May India set new benchmarks in this field, and collectively we bring down cyber terrorism.
