When ITA 2000 was enacted in the year 2000, Cyber Law College started virtual course on “Certificate in Cyber Laws”. It took several years more for traditional academic institutions to introduce formal courses on Cyber Laws. Initially Cyber Law College conducted certification courses in association with KLE Law College, Bangalore, Hubli and later the SDM law college in Mangalore and JSS law college in Mysore.
Several years later NLSUI and NALSAR followed with their own courses. I was privileged to be associated with both the courses in development of curriculum and handling some sessions.
Now we have entered the era of Data Protection Laws. Again it was Cyber Law College which pioneered Certificate courses both on the Indian law based on ITA 2000 and PDPB 2019 as well as the global laws. These courses are part of the DPO training program of FDPPI and the first course was started by the end of 2019.
Now within a gap of 2 years, NALSAR has decided to launch a course on “International Data Protection Law” as part of its courses. The undersigned is privileged to be associated with this program which will discuss GDPR, US and Canadian laws as well as DIFC and Singapore laws.
The Indian laws are presently not a subject of study yet but may soon be introduced.
The first batch of this ” ONE-YEAR ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN CYBER SECURITY ; DATA PROTECTION LAWS-2021-2022″ will commence from tomorrow.
We wish the program all the success.
