Follow on Google News | Cyber Crisis: It’s time to train and employ half a million ethical hackersSeveral organizations across the world have had to regret for not utilizing the services of ethical or white hat hackers to test their internal and external infrastructure for vulnerability scanning.
By: Sedulity Groups In an Interview, Dr. Anup Girdhar (CEO – Sedulity Solutions & Technologies) As, the demand for such services is rising, each organization should organize ‘Cyber Security & Ethical Hacking’ Training programmes for their technical and management teams or should recommend them to learn such technologies from some good and reputed universities in india like ‘IGNOU and TMV-Pune’. Among the top IT countries in the world, the need for Ethical Hackers is huge in India, as the percentage for Cyber Crimes, Cyber Terrorism, Data theft, Defamation, Cyber Stalking, etc. have seen exponential growth in the past few years, Dr. Girdhar adds. According to the recently released National Cyber Security Policy by Ministry of IT, Govt. of India, there is a need of almost 500,000 Cyber Security Professionals who can put their best for securing the most important information from this Cyber Space. Currently the rough estimate of Cyber Security Experts in India is about 30,000. To deliver 500,000 Cyber Security Experts in 3-4 years, each candidate who works on computer and internet should learn such technology from reputed institutions like ‘Sedulity’ The "Awareness across the US and Europe is comparatively much higher than in India as a lot more information related to Cyber Security is to be shared within the industry. It is recommended that organizations should focus on live Penetration testing or IT Auditing instead to rely more on security certifications. Moreover, special kind of training which is related to ‘Cyber Laws’ should also be provided so that each candidate who learn such technology is aware that if he try to misuse the knowledge would have to go for certain punishments or penalties or both which are applicable under ‘Indian IT Amendment Act-2008’.
