Ever thought about National Security seriously? Is national security a topic meant for discussion only when there’s a bomb blast/terror attack? Are we prepared for a stringent national security policy above all personal/political/religious sentiments? Are we ready to give up personal preferences, privacy and even life, in the interest of National security?
Next week, IAMAI (Internet and Mobile Association of India) is organizing a one day conference on National Security and Digital Technology. This conference will be happening at India Habitat Centre, Lodi Road New Delhi. Good thing is, I’ll be travelling to Delhi to live blog this event.
Since National Security is such an important topic, I felt it is necessary that we open up the topic to a larger audience and get their thoughts as well. As an esteemed reader of my blog, I’d request you to share your thoughts on the subject. Selected thoughts will be featured in IAMAI official Blog and I’ll also make efforts to pass your questions to panel members/speakers during the conference.
Following questions are some pointers as to what you can share.
- Are you comfortable compromising on your privacy in the interest of national security? If data monitoring is fully automated will you be more comfortable?
- Miscreants who try to create trouble need to be lucky just once, whereas to be safe we need to be lucky all the time. How do we ensure alertness and vigil all time?
- Do you feel technology is being used to the max to assist in security matters? What is not being done that should have been done? Do you have any examples?
- How can we make civilians more aware about national security and how to get them involved, in intelligence gathering, first response and other aspects?
Alternatively, you can also take this quick survey (4 mins) and leave your response
If you’re a Delhi based blogger and if you’re free on 24th March to attend this event, let me know, we’ll get you a complementary entry to the event and you can get involved in live blogging the same.
