To effectively tackle increasing cyber crimes in the IT capital of the country, a Cyber Lab to train police and other enforcement officials was inaugurated at the Corps of Detectives headquarters.

In a public-private partnership, public sector Canara Bank, the Karnataka Police department and NASSCOM have jointly set up the lab, which would train 1,000 officials every year.

The trained officers would be able to analyse and scrutinise data on hard disks, track e-mails, extract evidence using Internet and mobile phones and will familiarise themselves with cyber crime-related legislation.
