Building on 2023's milestones, the cybercrime unit amplifies efforts in 2024 to secure Haryana's cyber landscape
As 2024 progresses, it becomes evident that the Cyber wing of Haryana Police is not merely continuing its fight against cybercrime but is escalating its efforts with greater determination and strategic depth. Following a pivotal year in 2023, where innovative strategies led to significant enhancements in the state’s cybersecurity framework, the unit is now leveraging these accomplishments to push boundaries further. The establishment of dedicated police stations across every district and the operational success of the cybercrime helpline number 1930 have been instrumental in laying down a solid foundation for the ambitious objectives set for this year.
In a significant move to bolster these efforts, the Cybercrime Helpline 1930, already a critical lifeline for victims of cybercrime, is undergoing transformative enhancements in 2024. Haryana Police are incorporating state-of-the-art technological solutions to streamline the complaint process and improve response times, thereby solidifying this initiative as a central support mechanism for the community. Drawing from the success of preventing substantial financial losses previously, the department is now implementing cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to proactively detect and prevent fraudulent activities, further protecting the financial well-being of its citizens.
The emphasis on training and development continues to be a priority in 2024, building on the remarkable progress made last year in elevating the police force’s capabilities in cybercrime investigation and cyber forensics. By introducing specialized training programs in collaboration with international cybersecurity experts, the department ensures that officers are equipped with the most current and effective strategies to combat cybercrime. Additionally, the extension of training initiatives through the National Cybercrime Training Centre (NCTC) enhances the force’s readiness to tackle emerging digital threats.
In response to the dynamic nature of cyber threats, Haryana Police’s strategic deployment of technological innovations and preventive measures has become more pivotal than ever. Capitalizing on the achievements of 2023, such as the blocking of numerous mobile numbers and the freezing of fraudsters’ bank accounts, the unit is now employing sophisticated AI and data analytics to efficiently dismantle cybercriminal networks. This effort is complemented by expanded collaborations with telecommunications companies, aiming to develop more robust fraud detection and prevention systems.
