Cyber Security Orientation Training for Direct Recruit Officers of West Bengal Police is organized by Cyber Security Centre of Excellence (CS-CoE) under the aegis of the Department of Information Technology & Electronics. The training programme was rolled out jointly with the C-DAC and WEBEL with project management support from PwC. While the course was designed with support from C-DAC, who are the knowledge and training partner of the CS-CoE.
The course design ensures a holistic improvement of the legal & technical expertise of officers to deal with the soaring cyber-crimes in recent years.
Lack of cyber awareness among users keeps their digital footprints under a constant threat of misuse. Besides, deep penetration of the Internet along with the popularity of smartphones, wearable technologies, voice-assisted devices, etc. has expedited the increasing rate of cyber-crimes. This Training aims to facilitate the West Bengal Police Officers with the necessary knowledge to provide an effective and speedy solution to the aggrieved victims of cyber-crimes like hacking, online harassment, credit/debit card fraud, data theft, etc.
While committing a crime, criminals often leave behind a trail of digital evidence. To ensure secure collection of these electronic evidences, specific investigative methods needs to be adopted. This course aims to impart knowledge on those aspects by imbibing an overall understanding of networks, various types of cyber-attacks and the associated cyber laws. Further, this course facilitates the officers with the best practices to be followed in digital forensics and IT security.
A portal, https://csot.nltr.org was developed for the trainees wherein each of them has personalised "dashboard" with secured login credentials. Through that portal, they can access study materials, case studies, video-tutorials etc.
