eGov Symposium Andhra Pradesh – Cyber Security… – Shri Anubhav Tyagi, Sr. Solution Specialist…
Innovative ICT solutions like cloud storage need to focus more on data security. We need to make sure that security should be data-centric. The privacy of the data can be secured using encryption technology. Anybody can do encryption by downloading solutions from free websites. But the most important part of the encryption is how one is managing the keys involved behind the encryption process. Once you make sure that you are encrypting the data and managing the keys, such that it is isolated from the data and nobody can access the keys, your data is secured. In 2015 alone over one billion records were exposed. So we need to change the mindset and need to give prime importance to the security. Generally, we initiate a project and we don’t feel that security is required. We should go as we build our homes. We have door and we have lockers. So that is how the project should be. There should be security at the first place.
