In the ICT era, you will need new solutions like cloud computing to take on the enormous business challenges, said Kapil Sibal, Communications and IT Minister. But at the same time, certain rules need to be in place to ensure data safety, especially in cases where data is hosted in foreign countries.
"What is the legal liability of those who house data for others and in event there is a violation of that privacy. What then is the legal procedure for compensation? And if the server is not in India, what kind of bilateral arrangements between countries should be put in place to ensure privacy and protection of your property? he asked. Sibal was speaking at a national seminar on Information Security in Cloud Computing organized by PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) in association with Albion Infotel.
With over 250000 gram panchayats being connected over fiber optics; everybody is being connected at an enormous speed. However, security is a very important aspect which should be addressed while we are putting together the building blocks of this new technology in India, added Sibal.
IT Secretary J Satyanarayana said any company, which intends to adopt cloud computing, needs to assess its security needs. "The company then needs to create an accountability matrix which is satisfactory. With adoption of new technology, implementation and training become critical aspects to be addressed," he said.
