Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to deliver the keynote address at the National Conference on Tackling Cyber-Enabled Frauds and Dismantling the Ecosystem in New Delhi. The event, organized by the Central Bureau of Investigation in collaboration with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, will take place over two days at Bharat Mandapam from February 10 to 11.
During the inaugural session, Amit Shah will conduct an investiture ceremony for CBI officers and inaugurate the newly established Cybercrime Branch of the CBI. He will also launch the State Cyber Crime Coordination Centre Dashboard developed by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, aiming to enhance the institutional response to digital crimes.
The conference is being held in light of India’s rapid digital progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. While digital advancements have brought convenience to millions, they have also exposed vulnerabilities that cybercriminal networks exploit. Financial losses from cyber fraud are on the rise, with various scams causing significant damage, prompting discussions on prevention measures and advanced investigation techniques.
Discussions at the conference will focus on the financial, telecom, and human aspects of the fraud ecosystem. Participants will explore ways to strengthen prevention measures, enhance investigation techniques using technology like artificial intelligence, and promote better cooperation among agencies and public-private partnerships.
