Background

The digital revolution is changing our business, lives and society at an unprecedented speed while creating both enormous opportunities as well as great challenges. As individuals and companies digitize businesses and automate operations, cyber risks proliferate. The consequences of a successful cyber-attack can be devastating for companies - sometimes, if not managed well, even leading to bankruptcy. In certain situations, it can lead to a national emergency situation as well.

The world of technology has separated into its own realm. As a result, it has a unique set of laws and rules that are comparable to those that each country possesses. These laws, sometimes known as cyberlaws, are put in place to create a safe haven in cyberspace.

It is crucial to have specialists who are knowledgeable in cyber law since cyberspace drives the expansion of all businesses and serves as both a personal and a professional residence. Arm yourself with the greatest cyber law education if you want to improve cyberspace.

Overview of Workshop

The workshop on cyber laws would provide participants with an overview of the legal framework governing cyber activities in the country. The workshop would cover various relevant topics related to cyber laws including data protection, electronic signatures, cybercrime, and intellectual property rights.

India has several laws and regulations in place to govern cyber activities, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. However, many individuals and businesses are still not aware of their legal obligations and rights in the digital space.

This workshop on cyber laws will help bridge this knowledge gap by providing participants with an understanding of the legal framework and best practices for compliance. It will also serve as a platform for discussion and exchange of ideas on emerging issues and trends in cyber laws.
