The Unity of Nations Action for Climate Change Council (UNAccc), through its global cybersecurity division CyberCop, Global Council convened a high-level Governing Council Board Meeting to assess India’s preparedness against escalating cyber threats. The meet brought together international leaders, law enforcement veterans, cybersecurity experts, and strategic advisors, uniting diverse perspectives under CyberCop’s global mission of “Beyond Threats, Beyond Borders.”
Cyber Governance as an International Responsibility
Opening the conference, UNAccc Founder President & Founder of “CyberCop Global Council” Dr. Rajat Sharma, stressed that cybersecurity has become a worldwide duty involving governments, institutions, and global civil society. He reaffirmed CyberCop’s vision of a safer digital world built on vigilance, intelligence policing, and international cooperation. As a sister concern of UNAccc, CyberCop’s mandate extends across continents—from Africa and Europe to Asia-Pacific—reflecting the organization’s expansive partnership network and global SDG-backed governance framework.
Judicial and Institutional Reforms for India’s Cyber Response
Former IPS officer A. K. Jain raised critical concerns about institutional readiness, questioning whether police stations and central agencies possess adequate skills to combat rapidly evolving digital crime. He urged the creation of special cyber courts for speedy disposal of cases, emphasizing that cybercrime trials must not be stretched across years. His recommendations echoed CyberCop’s mission to strengthen legal systems, enhance conviction rates, and promote coordinated governance aligned with India’s national security objectives.
West Bengal’s Structured Cyber Training Model
Sanjay Kumar Das, Additional Secretary, Government of West Bengal, highlighted the state’s structured training model, noting that 8,000 police stations have already been taught first-response cyber protocols, and over 2,300 officers are undergoing advanced investigation training. He proposed mandatory cybersecurity certification for lawyers under the Bar Council of India. CyberCop Chairman and former DGP Gujarat, Shri Anil Pratham, confirmed ongoing communication with the Bar Council, aligning with CyberCop’s global strategy of capacity building and legal preparedness.
AI-Driven Attacks and Policy Integration
Dr. Latha Suresh, Director at the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs and Chief Advisor to UNAccc, highlighted the rising danger of AI-powered intrusions. She called for aligning AI governance with the DPDP Act and proposed a policy paper for the Government of India, ensuring AI systems follow ethical, privacy-centric, and secure operational guidelines. Her recommendations matched CyberCop’s global targets of reducing cyber incidents, increasing conviction rates, and setting international benchmarks for safe digital transformation.
Economic Impact of Cybercrime and Root-Level Solutions
Cyber expert Amit Dubey expressed concern over the limited impact of existing awareness campaigns. He revealed that digital arrest scams lead to average losses of ₹60 lakh per victim, contributing to India’s estimated USD 10 billion annual cybercrime loss. He urged structural reform instead of surface-level awareness, proposing a national blueprint through CyberCop to address root vulnerabilities. His insights reflected CyberCop’s operational pillars: cyber investigation, intelligence sharing, vigilance, and technical intervention through global public–private partnerships.
Global Digital Ethics and Cross-Border Collaboration
From Israel, Peace Leader H.E. Mr. Yousef Yomtov emphasized the need for authentication mechanisms on professional platforms like LinkedIn to curb fake profiles and international fraud. His call for stronger digital trust mechanisms aligned with CyberCop’s established guidelines for global cooperation—joint investigations, information sharing, and alignment with frameworks such as INTERPOL, UNODC, and the Budapest Convention.
CyberCop’s Global Framework and Membership Structure
Drawing from its worldwide mandate, CyberCop functions through a multi-layered structure that includes a Global Council, Executive Committee, regional vice presidents, nationwide directors, and district-level teams. Membership is open to individuals, corporates, and institutions, offering access to training, expert consultation, research resources, and global networking. With its motto “Beyond Threats, Beyond Borders,” CyberCop aims to build international capability through standardized intelligence protocols, shared databases, and coordinated cyber operations.
A Unified Roadmap for 2026 and Beyond
In his closing address, Chairman Shri Anil Pratham announced the drafting of a consolidated proposal for the Government of India, integrating judicial, technological, educational, and international cooperation strategies. He reaffirmed CyberCop’s commitment to supporting global partners, enhancing nationwide resilience, and advancing UNAccc’s broader vision of holistic, sustainable, and secure digital governance.
The conference concluded with a collective commitment to building a cyber-secure India—strengthened by global partnerships, informed policy, AI governance, and a future-ready institutional framework.
