National Counter Terrorism Center(NCTC): After 26/11 attack in 2008, suddenly the Indian government realized the importance of Counter terrorism initiatives and proposed National Counter Terrorism Center(NCTC) to provide intelligence inputs to the decision makers to plan for counter terrorist activities. The NCTC is supposed to coordinate between various State and Central govt. agencies and serve as a single and
effective point of control and coordination of all counter terrorism measures. It is modeled on the American NCTC and Britain‟s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre and will derive its powers from the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, 1967 (Mrunal, 2012).
National Information Security Assurance Programme (NISAP):To create the awareness among the people in the government and critical sector organization, CERT-In has taken an initiative called National Information Security Assurance Programme (NISAP), to develop and implement information security policy and information security best practices based on ISO/IEC 27001 for protection of their infrastructure. CERT-in has established the facility for Computer Forensics for investigation of cyber crimes and to provide hands on training to the law enforcement agencies and judiciary. This infrastructure is being augmented to include network forensics and mobile forensics investigation facility. CERT-In is cooperating with defence, banks, judiciary and law enforcement agencies in training their officials as well as extending the support in investigation of cyber crimes (Srinath, 2006).
Computer Emergency Response Team-India(CERT-In):The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team was created in 2004 by Department of Information Technology. The purpose of creating CERT-In was to respond to computer security incidents, report on vulnerabilities and promote effective IT security practices throughout the country and is also responsible for overseeing administration of the IT act (CERT-In, 2014).
