Making collaboration happen

Requires

Leadership

Strategy Commitment

Effectiveness of Collaboration depends on

Realization of a common goal Perceptions of the benefits of cooperation

Perceptions of the risks on non cooperation

Kicking off a Collaborative venture..

May be easy particularly after a major

security catastrophe

But sustaining the enthusiasm andmaintaining the vigil in what appears to be

normal times is difficult.

Natural Human tendency is to ignore threats andavoid inconvenience inherent in security

Fighting the complacency is a big challenge

Naavi5

There have been and there will bemany great ideas..

Many of them will even get launched

But only a few will get past the critical stage

May be forgotten..and lost for ever..

May be revived at a different point of time in a different place Better late than never

Efforts need to be sustained over a period, designed for success,

collection of feedback,

tuning and fine tuning of the approach,

This applies to all projects whether security oriented or notevento this Summit

Structuring a sustainable relationship

Projects need participation of stakeholders

on a continuing basis

Must be designed so as to provide the fuel forcontinued interest over a period of time.

Public Private Partnership needs to be

bolstered with NGO and Beneficiary partnership for better

sustainability

Principal Stakeholders

The Government agency Motivated by individual torch bearers

Needs to be institutionalized so that it will continue even after the torchbearermoves over to a different responsibility.

Private sector partner

Motivated by profits Needs to be reasonable Ploughed back for future growth

The beneficiaries If a service is not used, project is a failure

Beneficiaries need to be provided a real value add, made aware, trained etc

NGOs Very helpful particularly at the launch stage and later to monitor and steer

the project on its pre determined course.

Every PPP

Should make all the

four stakeholders,partners with part

ownership stake

Some Examples for Discussion

Mandatory Digital Signature use

Amendments to ITA 2000 for better National

Security Cyber Crime Insurance


13/24

Naavi13

Mandatory Digital Signature Use

After ITA 2000 became effective from the Digital Society Day ofIndia made announcement of the system of licensing CAs

It took more than an year for the first CA to be licensed, A private sector initiative..with profit motivetwo others

followedalong with public sector players.. Off take was low, business was not profitable

Digital Signature law was going nowhere

Government stepped in to correct the situation with announcement ofmandatory use of Digital Signatures in MCA and Income Taxapplications

the formula of public private collaboration in private sector CAs beingpromoted by a Government directive on mandatory use Situation improved but new problems have surfaced because..the

prescription did not include the Consumer as a stake holder We therefore now have a system which has security issues, legal

issues, consumer service issues etc


14/24

Naavi14

Amendments to ITA 2000 for betterNational Security

ITA 2008 contains many prescriptions for betterCyber Security New Crime definitions, Power to demand information from

intermediaries and companies, Intercept, and blockinformation including websites, call for data retention,submission of traffic data etc

A nightmare for Privacy watchers Concerned genuinely with abuse and misuse of powers.

Is there a solution?...sayNetizen RightsCommission/Advisory Committee

With public representation in lieu of/in addition to the reviewcommittee now proposed?


15/24

Naavi15

Cyber Crime Insurance

A scheme to insure computer users against risks of loss arisingout of cyber crimes.. Viruses, trojans, online frauds etc

Premium driven business for private sector

Can evolve security standards

Can incentivize security practices by users

Can encourage security certification of software and hardware

Market may not be ripe for private sector entry..

Gestation period is too long and adoption requires public

education ..mandating of security practices..collection of reliablecyber crime and security incident data and other issues which theGovernment only can tackle.


16/24

Naavi16

What prevents the development ofSustainable Projects

Policies of tendering.. Only a widely available product or service canbe tendered Innovative products or services are not amenable to tendering process

Policies of Governments not associating with small companies Only large companies with huge turnover can participate. They may not be

interested except in multi crore projects..process becomes toocumbersome and unproductive

Policies of the Government in owning equity stake with the privateentities Issues of reputation, political considerations, etc

Policies on financing instruments Either entirely public sector or entirely private sector.. Why cannot ahybrid? ..convertible loan or convertible equity?..Venture capital?..


17/24

Naavi17

If we can find solutions to some of theissues raised

We can structure a project which has

necessary sustainability built into it


18/24

Naavi18

Complexity of finding a formula

We need to find a formula to ensure that allstakeholders see benefits at all stages of a project

Pre-launch phase

Break even phase Profitability phase

With disparate interests and limitations imposed bytradition or law, what we need may not be a simple

formula of equity sharing but an algorithm of variablestake-responsibility-benefit relationship

An Attempt at Building a

Sustainable Project

An example..Cyber

Vidya


20/24

Naavi20

Principles for Success

Provide a Safe Browsing Network for Schools Students will themselves tap the resources available on the

Internet

Supplement with Content Produced by our own teachers

Relevant and more effective

Make the best teacher in the State for a given

subject available to every student in the State It will provide the all important motivation to the teacher

community to be recognized as a Cyber Teacher for a givensubject


21/24

Naavi21

How stakeholders are benefited

Students get a teacher for every subject If not through a physical teacher, there is a cyber teacher

Lack of sufficient number of teachers and the required quality will be felt in Indiafor decades to come

A Cyber teacher is therefore a necessity to meet the educational objectives of theGovernment

School Management Can Monitor the use of every computer resource and by every student or

teacher who uses the resource and optimize the user of resources

Teachers Can collaborate

Can showcase their teaching talents in a given area of specialization whichwill be available to all students across the State

Government Can fulfill the educational objective at nominal investment


22/24

Naavi22

Resource Mobilization

Upto Break even phase from theGovernment

Maintenance from the Private Sector Partially funded by the school expenses

Supported by donors and public serviceorganizations who adopt select schools

By contribution of content by teachers whichcan be monetized into equity stake

Looking forward..

. to the development of this as

a model sustainable project inPublic-Private-Beneficiary-NGOpartnership

(PPBN instead of PP)
