Maharashtra to implement cyber security project at Rs 837 crore.

The Maharashtra cabinet on Wednesday decided to implement a cyber security project worth Rs 837 crore in the state to take immediate measures against the increasing instances of cybercrime in the state. The state home department has planned a project with state-of-the-art technology, skilled manpower and resources to curb cybercrime and make the state a “cyber safe” state. 

The project will be implemented in the State by the Special Inspector General of Police (Cyber) and put together various latest tools and technologies under one roof. It will include a Command and Control Centre, Technology Assisted Investigation, Center of Excellence, Cloud Based Data Centre, and Security Operation Centre. The project will facilitate a state-of-the-art citizen-centric platform coordinating complainants and technology. All cyber police stations in all police commissioner and superintendent offices across the state will be linked with this platform. Citizens could file complaints against cybercrime through a call centre, mobile app, or portal. The State government assured that the project will help promptly investigate complaints related to cyber-crimes.
