Abstract

Wipro has hired a forensic firm to investigate the cyber-attack on its system, which was recently reported by the industry website. Cyber forensics laboratories and cyber forensics training facilities are being set up in 13 states and union territories to check crime rates again women. In another case a gang of Chinese fraudsters did fraud of 18.6 million USD from the Indian arm of Italian company Tecnimont spa, which is considered to be one of the biggest cyber heists in the country. These are the just few instances which are mentioned to showcase the need of improved digital forensics and cyber security in India. These days’ criminals usually commit crime without involving any computing device. This makes the digital forensics examiner to think which types of criminals have so much skill and ability to handle such digital evidences. In India law enforcement agencies are taking different methods for addressing the increasing load of digital evidence. India is a democratic nation but still it finds very difficult to balance between the legal and judicial system. The law enforcement agencies are still reluctant to follow the new suits for preventing cyber-crime. In this paper an attempt has been made to showcase the present scenario of digital forensics and cyber security in India, difficulties which are being faced by legal and police department. This paper also gives a brief about the trends and pattern of digital forensics and cyber security in India.
