The MoU on Cybercrime Investigations will enable further strengthening of India-US security cooperation
Imparting a fresh boost to India-US cooperation on security, the two countries on Friday signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Washington DC to enhance cooperation in cybercrime investigations, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Saturday.
The MoU allows the respective agencies of the two countries to step up the level of cooperation and training with respect to the use of cyber threat intelligence and digital forensics in criminal investigations, the MEA said.
The MoU was signed by Ambassador of India to the United States, Vinay Kwatra and Kristie Canegallo, the Acting United States Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS).
From India, the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is responsible for execution of the MoU.
From the US side, it is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and its constituent agencies the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Homeland Security Investigations Cyber Crimes Center (C3).
Cybercrime has intricate linkages with the common security challenges faced by India and the US, such as terrorism and violent extremism, terror financing, drug trafficking, organized crime, human trafficking, illegal migration, money laundering and transportation security.
The MoU on cybercrime investigations will enable further strengthening of India-US security cooperation, as part of the comprehensive and global strategic partnership of the two countries.
