Union Home Minister Amit Shah will deliver the keynote address at the National Conference on Tackling Cyber-Enabled Frauds and Dismantling the Ecosystem to be held in New Delhi on February 10.
The two-day event is organized by the Central Bureau of Investigation in partnership with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre under the Ministry of Home Affairs and will take place at Bharat Mandapam from February 10 to 11.
During the inaugural session, Home Minister Amit Shah will conduct an investiture ceremony for CBI officers, a press release issued on Monday said. He will also inaugurate the newly established Cybercrime Branch of the CBI and launch the State Cyber Crime Coordination Centre Dashboard developed by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre. These steps represent a strengthened institutional response to the growing threat of digital crimes.
The conference is being held against the backdrop of India’s rapid digital advancement under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Widespread adoption of digital banking governance and communication tools has brought convenience to millions, but has also opened the door for organised cybercriminal networks to exploit weaknesses.
Discussions at the event will centre on the three main components of the fraud ecosystem. The financial aspect covers mule accounts and money laundering channels. The telecom aspect addresses misuse of SIM cards, eSIMs, and related infrastructure. The human aspect highlights cyber slavery and the trafficking of individuals into overseas scam operations.
Participants will focus on building stronger prevention measures, advanced investigation techniques, and the wider use of technology, including artificial intelligence and data analytics, for efficient probes despite resource constraints.
