Cyberspace is a dynamic environment of interactions among people, software and services supported by Word-wide distribution of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) devices and networks. Cyberspace has brought in the latest innovative technologies and modern gadgets.
However, it has inevitably increased dependencies on computer resources and internet-based networking. The exponential increase of internet users in India and the rapidly evolving technologies have also brought unique challenges, such as the fastest-growing forms of transnational and insidious crimes.
