India and the United States agreed to develop new ways of securing data and to expand cooperation to protect networks from destructive viruses and computer hackers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The two countries reached the agreement at the end of a two-day conference Wednesday of the main information technology industry organizations of India and the United States.<\/p>\n
“The United States is willing to begin cooperation with appropriate government entities, including in India,” said Michele Markoff, the senior coordinator for international critical infrastructure protection in the U.S. State Department.<\/p>\n
Markoff said that only a few months ago, the United States set up a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week monitoring system to watch for hacking or destructive computer and software viruses. But she said monitoring is more effective if done across the globe, with every nation setting up a system to protect its own data and networks and quickly sharing information on attacks.<\/p>\n
Just how it would work will be discussed in November when the Information Technology Association of America hosts its Indian counterpart, the National Association of Software and Service Companies, or NASSCOM, the two groups that met in New Delhi this week. While governments are concerned about protecting networks against attacks by terrorist hackers, industry leaders also want to tackle data theft by employees or commercial hackers, computer viruses and unwanted e-mail — or “spam” — that hurts productivity.<\/p>\n
