Taking on from where Gen Hooda left, maintenance of law and order, internal security threats are increasingly emanating from cyber tools. Similarly, impersonation, theft, robbery, or using cyber tools to influence elections or political opinion… step back a bit. We need a radical change in the way we recruit & train our forces if we want to meaningfully counter the threat of cybercrime and cyber security. Also, I think without serious investment in basic policing, I don’t think cyber policing or cutting-edge policing would succeed. The Ministry of Defence has announced formation of a cyber agency, initially planned to be a cyber command.
