CYBER LAB Update
Message from CEO
The ever expanding growth of Information & Communication Technology in our daily lives has raised serious issues relating to defining the jurisdiction on cyber space. While the physical world is well defined with boundaries, the Cyber space has really posed a challenge to the law enforcement agencies across the globe in prosecuting the criminals. The internet crimes span multiple jurisdictions and criminals find it easier to escape from the clutches of the legal & geographical jurisdiction. DSCI is focused on capacity building of Law Enforcement Agencies for combating cyber crimes in the country and towards this it operates several cyber labs across India to train the police officers, prosecutors and judicial offices in cyber forensics and cyber crime investigation. Out of the 8 cyber labs 4 are supported by DeitY and others by the Industry. DSCI brought out “Cyber Crime Investigation Manual” to guide the police officers to understand the whole gamut of cyber crimes and its investigation. The DSCI Cyber labs program will be extended to the entire country with the MHA under the Cyber Crime Investigation Program (CCIP) Dr. Kamlesh Bajaj, CEO, Data Security Council of India

The Cyber Crime Investigation Program (CCIP) To put in place an institutionalized structure for effectively building the capacity and infrastructure for handling the increasing cyber crimes in India, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India intends to support a framework for institutionalizing a pan India network of Cyber Crime Police Stations (CCPS) and Cyber Crime Investigation and Forensic Training Facilities (CCIFTF). Further, MHA wants to create a national Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Cyber Forensics to act as a national nodal agency for research and advanced investigations support in the area of Cyber Crimes. The three key constituents of the framework are as follows: · The CCPS in each state and union territory supported by MHA would spearhead the specialized investigations on cyber crimes in the respective state / union territory. · The CCIFTF proposed would be co-located with the CCPS in each state / union territory and would serve as training hubs for the respective state / UT police personnel and public prosecutors and also act as a source of technical assistance to the investigators locally with its collaboration with the Industry (led by Data Security Council of India ) and National CoE for Cyber Forensics. · CoE for Cyber Forensics would conduct Research and Development and impart training to the State and Union Territory CCPS/CCIFTF personnel apart from offering forensic analysis services to the CCPS and other law-enforcement agencies. The initiative proposed is called as, ‘Cyber Crime Investigation Program’ (CCIP). DSCI will act as a Knowledge Partner in the program.

No actions performed by investigators should change data contained on digital devices or storage media that may subsequently be relied upon in court. Individuals accessing original data must be competent to do so and have the ability to explain their actions. A trail or other record of applied processes, suitable for replication of the results by an independent third-party, must be created and preserved, accurately documenting each investigative step. The person in charge of the investigation has overall responsibility for ensuring the above-mentioned procedures are followed and in compliance with governing laws.
