Abstract
Cybercrimes have become a global phenomenon due to the digital world. Cybercrimes in India are no exception. Because of this, it becomes very difficult to ensure cyber security. This adversely affects not only individuals but also companies, government, and society at large. As huge data is lost as a result of such crime, a law in India was enacted called the Information Technology Act, 2000 with an objective to prevent all types of crime relating to cyber security. Accordingly, other laws were amended like Indian Penal Code, 1860; The Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881; and the Indian Evidence Act, 1882. But, in spite of these stringent laws, the data of National Crimes Bureau shows an upward trend in every head relating to cybercrimes, thereby ensuring cyber security.
