MHA move to boost capacity building & help states to curb growing e-crime

New Delhi: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is setting up India Cyber Science Coordination Centre (ICSCC) to create an overarching security infrastructure for capacity building and enable states and other stakeholders to keep an eye on growing e-crime.

The initial blueprint outlined by the ministry officials, once formalised, will empower them with authorisations for phone interception and to give security clearances in civil aviation and other sectors, an officer of the ministry said. An online national-level platform will be created with the help of National Informatics Centre for registering complaints. Then complaints will be marked for probe to officials concerned in the jurisdiction where offence took place, ministry sources said.

In the newly created Cyber and Information Security Division in the ministry, vertical heads have been recommended under a joint secretary for time-bound formation of ICSCC that would create an architecture and policy and advise states on cyber security.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh was apprised of these issues during a review meeting in his North Block office on Wednesday, ministry sources aware of the confabulation told ET.
