A recent false report in newspapers about breach of data at Indian Registry for Internet Names and Numbers (IRINN) caused a huge turmoil both at national and international levels.
A lot of government organisations came under the scanner. The incident questioned validity of the entire digitisation movement.
With all the government data being processed smartly by cloud technology, the possibility of exposure at every point and theft has increased. Various government agencies including Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) have issued statements reiterating the safety of their databases.
Such incidents are on a rise. Globally, securing the ways in which machine communication takes place is top priority. Data breach and hacking is becoming an increasing concern as everything that we do now—personal or professional—is all about data and system communication.
Allaying such fears, Arvind Gupta, head of #DigitalBJP and co-founder of Botworx.ai, said, “Today, Apple is the most valuable company in the world by virtue of the consumer data that it claims to own and its intellectual property. The Indian government’s IT and cloud infrastructure is one of the finest in the world and robust enough tosecure citizens’ data end-to-end in a way that is leak-proof and uses the best consent architecture.”
Peter Gartenberg, general manager, Enterprise Commercial, Microsoft India, shared, “The Internet of Things (IoT) is the wave of the future, offering enterprises immediate and real-world opportunities to reduce their costs, increase revenue and transform business. However, concerns about security, privacy, compliance and transparency remain with regards to IoT infrastructure and merging of the cyber and physical worlds. Several measures are already being taken to bridge gaps and prevent security breaches at the device level. Efforts are being made to tackle obstacles before they come up.”
