What was your inspiration behind venturing into the Cyber Security niche?
My father was an Air Force officer. Being a member of the Indian Air force family since childhood, my passion was to serve the country as a Soldier at the border. While growing up, I got my new passion, love for technology, and I found it extremely satisfying to resolve any computer-related issues. I developed user-friendly solutions and techniques to be cyber safe by decoding complex IT issues. With my eternal passion for computer technology and data being my new friend, I discovered colours of success in my journey as a Technopreneur.
Over time, I realised that being a cyber warrior is equally dutiful and patriotic, like being a Soldier in the Indian armed forces. By my association with various departments, I understand how people are fooled to be prey to cybercrime online.
My life’s mission then turned to spread awareness among the public on how to be safe on the digital platform, educate our police officers in dealing with cybercrimes effectively and provide career-oriented IT training to the youth of our country.

What were the initial challenges after venturing into Cyber Security/Digital Forensics, and what are the challenges now?
The initial challenge was a lack of awareness even among the officers about preserving electronic digital evidence. Data acquisition without hampering its integrity was a challenge in the initial days. Still, later on, the condition has changed. The people inside the system are taking care to retain data integrity and involve experts from the beginning to acquire digital evidence while working on cases.
The cost of the commercial tools, lack of skilled workforce, etc., are the primary challenges that the cyber forensics process face at any point in time. The major challenge that we face now is the pressure of little time and a lot of data. For accurate results, focused examination and data analysis is required, which most of the time, the pressure of fast submission of report hampers the success rate to a great extent.
Data encryption is another challenge faced by digital forensics experts. The methods used by the cybercriminals to hamper, alter and remove traces of evidence makes the investigation process complicated. Along with the technical challenges, there are legal challenges also like the absence of proper guidelines and the limitation of the Indian Evidence Act 1872, which collectively makes it really tough to prove a point using digital evidence in the court of law.
Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on how Cyber Security is crucial today and what advancements can we expect in the future?
Cyber security is critical because it safeguards all types of data against theft and loss. Due to the digitalisation move, every transaction is done, including financial data, sensitive data, personally identifiable information, personal information, intellectual property, data, and governmental and industry information systems all fall under the category of sensitive data and need to be secured.
AI and machine learning have made significant contributions to the advancement of cyber security. Machine learning is being used to identify malicious behaviour from hackers by modelling network behaviour and improving overall threat detection. Hackers are becoming more skilled at finding holes and cracks in corporate security systems and gaining access to protected files and data as technology advances, posing a significant cyber security threat.
While hackers are getting skilled, we, the cyber warriors, need to be more vigilant, knowledgeable and proactive to defend any new cyberwarfare they formulate. Most universities and educational institutions offer cybersecurity-related courses and training programs along with their regular syllabus. This can make an army of young minds equipped with accurate digital techniques that can make our cyberspace a safe one soon.
What would be your advice to the aspirants who are willing to venture into the field of Cyber Security services?
Cyber security and digital forensics are the most exciting and promising career options of the time. If you are trained under a knowledgeable mentor and are passionate enough to practice rigorously, you can succeed in this domain as a resource. Hands-on experiments with data and finding new solutions for existing IT challenges will definitely open new doors of opportunity for you.
