Presentation Transcript

  1. What Is A VPN? • A virtual private network (VPN) is a technology that allows you to connect securely to private networks over public networks. • VPNs allow secure connections to private networks over public networks by creating an encrypted connection between your computer and a server. • It can be used to access blocked websites, secure remote work and browse anonymously.

  2. What are the new VPN Norms? The key takeaways from the new VPN rules are: • According to the new law, all VPNs must gather and store user data (user names, physical address, email address, and phone numbers) for five or more years. • VPN companies also have to keep a log of the reason behind using the service. • VPNs should record all the IP addresses used by users to register. Along with VPN services, virtual service network providers, data centers, and cloud service providers have also been requested to keep track and store similar user data. • VPN services must report cybersecurity incidents to CERT within six hours of becoming aware of them.

  3. What Is the Government’s Take On These New VPN Norms? • The government's main goal with the new VPN rules is to improve cyber security and provide a safe internet. • The CERT identified gaps in safeguarding against online threats and published the new norms to prevent cyber attacks.

  4. How The New VPN Norms Impact Users & Companies • The new VPN norms are causing backlash from VPN companies as they increase costs, affect user privacy, and force the companies to store customer data. This may also require users to go through a KYC process and potentially expose their private data to the government. • The Internet Freedom Foundation has raised concerns about the right to privacy and the government having more data than necessary. • Some VPN companies like NordVPN, ProtonVPN, SurfShark, and ExpressVPN have said they are planning not to follow the newly imposed rules and continue to offer their no-logs policy to users and may even pull back their service from India.

  5. Bottom Line • Despite all the backlashes from cybersecurity experts, stakeholder companies, and business advisory groups, the Indian government is pretty much firm on their new VPN norms. • Some experts have sought public consultation and more tech industry involvement to find a solution that suits everyone. It remains to be seen if VPN companies will implement the new norms before the deadline of September 25, 2022.
