The e-newsletter on Cyber Laws for CxO is the most appropriate initiative taken by Naavi. It is the need of the hour. With Information Technology Act-2008 notified, CxO has lot of responsibilities and compliance requirements. In the current scenario, there is a big gap between the knowledge required and knowledge available regarding IT related laws and legal provisions, both national and international. This newsletter will fill this gap effectively.
I congratulate Naavi for this timely initiative. Naavi is one of the best suited persons to edit and publish this newsletter, given his expertise, experience and exposure to the provisions of IT Act, since year 2000.
I am sure that this newsletter will be most useful and appreciated by the CxO fraternity and also other users including researchers, policymakers, law enforcement, judiciary, advocates and IT Security students.

I congratulate Naavi on the initiative to launch a news letter for CxOs to provide Cyber Law related information to the business managers.
This was a long felt need of the industry since adoption of ITA 2000 requirements in the industry has been very slow. Partly this delayed response was due to the lack of adequate information flow to the CxOs.
I suppose this news letter would fill this information gap and catalyse the industry to adopt Compliance requirements as envisaged under the Indian laws.

During a project assignment at IIMA in the first year, I worked on the subject of Information Security and realized its dependence on Cyber Laws- a subject that CXO's are coming to terms with only recently.
I therefore decided to join the online course in Cyber Laws at Cyber Law College so that by the time I graduate and join the industry, I will have acquired some of the skills to manage the legal aspects of Information Security, which I believe will be critical going ahead.
Recently, I also came to know that another management institute in Ghaziabad has introduced a regular course in Cyber Law. This has set the trend and I expect that Information Security management will become an integral part of Management education in India in the near future.
I will soon enter the industry where I will be required to manage businesses totally dependent on Information. I believe this news letter would be of immense help in keeping me up to date with developments in the field of Cyber Law which will be critical as I work my way towards being a CxO in the future after passing out from IIMA.
Naavi has received a few personal messages from friends with official responsibilities who have appreciated the introduction of this news letter but have expressed their desire not to be quoted for their own reasons. We respect their sentiments and express our appreciation for their support.
A PDF Copy of the News Letter would be sent by e-mail to all persons who subscribe. Subscription is free.
