ACT - 2000

(P) Limited, Mumbai IT users are the victims of various IT related crimes,
mostly unknowingly, due to intentional / unintentional crime committed by
some people. IT Act-2000 was enacted to provide legal protection from various
types of Computer Crimes. Even after enactment of IT Act, most of the IT users does
not know many of it’s useful provisions to safeguard themselves and take
advantage of these legal provisions. It is partly due to ignorance of the Act
and partly due to legal vocabulary.
Even, IT professionals are also not conversant with the law, which
could easily push them within the ambit of the Act. In this book, I have tried to demystify the IT Act-2000.
This book can be used as an Easy Guide or IT Act-Made Easy. The book explains
the provisions of the Act in simple terms and help people to prevent
trespassing the orbit of the Act. It provides
practical insights into the provisions, penalties & punishments specified
in the Act as well as - ‘What care to take to protect us from provisions of
the IT Act’. ‘Demystifying IT Act-2000’ is a
valuable legal guide for all IT professionals, IT users, legal fraternity,
judiciary, law-enforcers, students and teaching staff of law and IT colleges
and also from the level of computer operators to the CEOs of all companies, interested
in IT related legal implications. |
DIGITAL SIGNATURE
ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT DON'T KNOW WHOM TO
ASK!
Published by – Sysman Computers
(P) Limited, Mumbai Electronic Banking,
e-commerce, e-governance, online electronic trading and other electronic
services are gradually becoming more popular and even essential. Indian
Income Tax Department, Excise and Customs Department, Foreign Trade
Directorate, etc. are insisting on filing e-returns. These e-services offer
the convenience and flexibility of round-the-clock service direct from your
office or home without using a single paper and without visiting the
concerned government department or service provider in person. Similarly,
authentic business dealings, correspondence, quotations, tenders and
agreements can be done in real-time. This enhances the business scope, range,
confidentiality and competitiveness manifold. However, the privacy
and security are big preventive concerns in taking advantage of this new
medium to do business. Digital Signatures is
the technological and legal system, which provides authenticity, privacy and
security to e-commerce, much more than paper based transactions. This book elucidates the
Digital Signature process and technology along with legal issues involved.
The book is written for the users of Digital Signatures for their easy
understanding of the concepts and process of Digital Signatures in a simple
language. The book is useful for businessmen, corporate executives, bankers,
lawyers, academicians and students. The book is
appreciated by some power users and they have expressed the opinion that they
have got more insight in the concepts, usage and security involved in Digital
Signatures. |

CASE
STUDIES ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS SECURITY IN BANK
Published by – Sysman Computers
(P) Limited, Mumbai This monograph presents 24 case
studies based on the actual experiences of Risk Management experts
and IS Security Audit teams during their security assessment assignments
in banks. Large scale computerization of
banking operations increases the risk of computer misuse, lapses, crimes and
frauds. A bank fraud in a fully computerized environment can be several times
larger than that in a fully manual set-up. Now, a bank can suffer irreparable
damage if its IS security is jeopardized by imperfect software, substandard
hardware, poor network or indifferent staff. Even technically best systems
can cause disaster if handled poorly. Hence, this warning bell! These case studies can be used
to inspire and imbibe IS security discipline in banks. They should be
discussed in management committee meetings and training sessions at all
levels of bank personnel. The regulators and directors of banks, IT experts,
legal professionals, academicians and management students may also find them
interesting. Top Banking Professionals of
Reserve Bank of India, Commercial Banks, Development Banks and Co-operative
Banks have appreciated the cause as well as the contents of this monograph.
They feel that it will accelerate the process of enhancing the security of
the information systems assets of the banking and finance sector. This monograph was released by Mr. Vepa
Kamesam, Dy. Governor, Reserve Bank of India. |
