Experts Urge Cyber Standards for Bengal IT Parks
Experts are worried about the growing number of cybercrimes in Bengal's IT parks.
They say that as more companies use AI, criminals are also using AI to trick people and steal money.
The experts suggest that the government should set up rules to make IT parks safer, like making it easier to freeze money when fraud happens.
They also say companies should use better security measures to protect their data.
Maharashtra is an example of a state that has done well in fighting cybercrime, and Bengal can learn from them.
Bengal hosts 22 IT parks, 2 electronic manufacturing clusters, and 1 hardware park, with a growing IT-ITeS ecosystem.
Experts warn of escalating AI-powered cybercrimes, including voice cloning, deepfake IDs, and automated phishing.
Recommended measures include integrated reporting, rapid fund-freeze mechanisms, and public awareness campaigns.
Enterprises are advised to adopt a cyber-resilience framework with immutable backups, multi-factor authentication, and secured AI/ML workflows.
Maharashtra's model of integrating cyber helplines with real-time financial fraud monitoring is cited as an example for Bengal to follow.
