Cyber-terrorism cases: NIA needs additional infra and domain specialists, say experts

Evidence collection in the field requires all together a different skill set, they say

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which was given the mandate to take up cases of cyber terrorism over two years ago, should be provided with additional infrastructure and domain experts to probe such offences more efficiently, according to experts.

“While there are several designated laboratories for forensic analysis of evidence, domain experts equipped with all necessary state-of-the-art tools should be involved from the inception of investigation. Evidence collection in the field of cybercrimes requires all together a different skill set,” said an official.
