Top 5 Security Risks, Threats and Concerns for India in 2013

Dec. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- The world publishes their top threat and risk lists and usually some of them are relevant to us and some are not. Some are vendor driven; some have personal analyst viewpoints or are influenced by institutional / state thought. It is high time people must think about risks and threats that in India can relate to and can be termed of-the-people and by-the-people. Dinesh Bareja (Open Security Alliance – Indiawatch) & ClubHack founder Rohit Srivastwa put together a risk and threat listing which will identify the top 5 for the nation (India), its people and it’s corporations.
OSA & ClubHack are inviting all to contribute to this effort and submit what you consider the top 5 in the three categories by filling in a brief submission form at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDk1NGxQcV9kTjdRRjZBZDdyQ3E3YlE6MQ.
The 2013 top-5 will be released in the first week of January and will be re-visited quarterly or half-yearly. Both the information security communities are planning to keep this dynamic in nature and will update in case there are any earth shattering events at anytime in the interim.
People can participate by filling a simple form at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDk1... and also help this initiative by spreading all over the social media site, blogs or emails.
