CHANDIGARH, JAN 15
Haryana becomes the first state to launch Cyber Security portal and toll free number for cyber security and cyber alerts, which were launched by Haryana Finance Minister Captain Abhimanyu after inaugurating the ‘National Summit on Digital Innovation and Cyber Security’ organised in Hartron Campus at Gurugram today.
Now anybody in the state of Haryana can log on ‘haryanaismo.gov.in (Cyber Security Portal)’ and know the ways for securing oneself against cyber threats. The Portal has information about how to keep children safe online. In the Summit, the Principle Secretary to Government of Haryana for Electronics& Information Technology Department Mr Ankur Gupta said that as the children use mobile phones and internet, they need to be educated about how to keep themselves safe from cyber threats, so in the portal, there is a set of questions for students of different classes, which they need to answer. This will be introduced in Haryana schools, he said and added that it is first time in the country that any state has launched such a portal.
The Finance Minister Capt Abhimanyu also launched a Toll Free number 1800-180-1234 for reporting cyber security issues and cyber alerts. Haryana is the first state to start such a facility in the country. The minister also inaugurated an exhibition put up by various Start-Ups and IT Companies at the Summit site and saw the exhibits. He appreciated the efforts of the participants and showed keen interest in knowing about the IT solutions and desired to spend one half day in Gurugram to learn the new technological interventions for protection from cyber threats. Delegates from various states, who did commendable job in the field of cyber security, were also honoured in the Summit. The Digital Investigation Training and Analysis Centre (DITAC) team of Haryana police was awarded for Smart Policing initiatives and the award was received by IGP Security Saurabh Singh. The other members of the team were Jitender Gahlawat DSP DITAC and Sub Inspector Gunpal Singh, Incharge DITAC. A special edition of ‘e gov’ was also released by the Finance Minister.
Addressing the participants of the Summit, Capt Abhimanyu said that Haryana has taken so many initiatives which have enabled IT driven governance from physical governance. He said that before becoming part of Haryana government, he could hardly believe that any state government can take so many innovative steps because governments are generally lethargic. He said, “We have plunged into a virtual world of internet, completely unprepared. There is so much less to govern and regulate the cyber world, in which we are now living in. So, there is need to make rules and laws to regulate it.” He said that even if one finds route by using Google Maps, his or her data can be retrieved even without his or her knowledge. Now the internet has entered into our homes. But everybody has a right to protect the data available with him or her. It should not be taken without his consent. This summit will help in dealing such issues and making us more aware about cyber world, the minister opined. He said that the technology should be used for fast delivery of services and to facilitate people but not as threat.
Earlier, the Principal Secretary, Electronics and IT Department Haryana Mr Ankur Gupta said that the next war is going to be cyber war and we all are under attack. Thats the reason why this national summit has been organised here to sensitise the masses about the cyber use. Giving data, he said that India is 5th largest country facing data breach attacks. It is better to destroy your mobile or laptop instead of selling it as your data can be retrieved from it, even after five formats. So, we need to be more secure, vigilant, resilient and adopt continuous updation. He said that Haryana launched its Cyber Security Policy in 2017 and now we are implementing it. MD Hartron and Secretary IT Mr Vijayendra Kumar welcomed the participants and told about the importance of cyber security in wake of day-to-day reports of data breach.
CEO of CSC e- Governance Services India Limited De Dinesh Tyagi, National Cyber Security Coordinator in PMO India Dr Gulshan Rai, Country Head- Public Sector HPE Kamal Kashyap, Founder CEO and Editor in Chief, Elets Technomedia Pvt Limited Dr Ravi Gupta were also present in the summit.
