e – mail security policy coming soon:-

 THIRUVANANTHPURAM: Seeking to ensure cybersecurity and keep government documents away from hackers, the government is working on an email security policy.  The policy will be announced shortly, Minister of State for Communications and IT Milind Deora said. All public sector employees in the country would be brought on the government domain of National Informatics Centre (NIC) as part of the policy, he told a press meet here.   "Cybercrimes are linked not just to any particular institution, state or nation. We have to tackle it with institutional capacities and with the co-operation of local police and international agencies," Deora said.  "As part of the National Cyber Security Policy, we are trying to create a new email policy for government employees. It will make them move away from foreign email services like Gmail and bring onto nic.in, the government's email domain managed by NIC," he said.   Since the country had its own 'cloud', there was no reason for people to depend on foreign services, he said.   Deora, who had a discussion with the officials of BSNL, Postal and C-Dac here, said the ministry was planning to allot three new post offices and a training centre for post office staff here..   //PTI //
