Cybersecurity vital for progress: Shah

Speaking at the function to mark the first foundation day celebrations of the I4C (Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre) in the national capital, Shah asked the cybersecurity agencies to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify the modus operandi of criminals duping people, spreading fake news and abusing women and children online. "India hosts around 46 per cent or almost half of global digital transactions, making the job of these agencies challenging," he said.

The I4C, established in 2018, is a department under the MHA, which is tasked with establishing a national-level coordination centre to address all cybercrime-related issues. On the occasion, Shah also launched four platforms of the I4C - cyber fraud mitigation centre, 'Samanvaya' platform, a cyber commandos programme and a suspect registry.
