With increasing dependence
of the society on Cyber Space and Digital Documents, Digital Security is a
matter of concern for all. It is no longer possible for individuals to
conduct Banking or Stock Market activities or even certain Citizen to
Government activities without using the Cyber Environment and exposing
oneself to the risks of Cyber Space.
With the launching of the
Unique ID System, every individual in India will soon have his basic
identity linked to the Digital Data called the UID.
In the coming days we
will not have exclusive Citizens or exclusive Netizens. Every one of us
would be Cinezens with our UID in cyber space and existence in physical
space. We will have assets both in Physical and Cyber Space and some
physical assets such as Bank funds being held in digital form.
Under these
circumstances, it has become critical that the security of digital space
is the key determinant of the society. Lack of digital security would
throw the life of future citizens of the country.
It is therefore
considered necessary for all those who are interested in the wellbeing of
the society to come together and work for the common goal of a “Secure
Digital Society”.
Since the task before us
requires action on several fronts and in several places, Naavi.org has
undertaken a task to build a “Digital Security Consortium” in India which
proposes to bring together all likeminded organizations working in the
Cyber Security space in India under a common umbrella banner of “Digital
Security Consortium”.
The objectives of the
Consortium would be to work towards Digital Security in all its
dimensions.
Naavi invites all
interested persons or organizations to come together in this initiative.
Naavi also invites Corporates to join in this initiative as part of their
CSR initiatives to support the activity of creating a “Secure Digital
Society” in India.
Interested persons may
contact
naavi@in.com with necessary information.
