IT ministry working with industry to implement mobile security guidelines: ICEA

The India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) on Wednesday said the IT Ministry is working closely with the industry to implement mobile security guidelines in line with the new Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

The statement from ICEA, which is apex industry body for the mobile and electronics industry, came after a media report said that the government is planning security testing for smartphones and crackdown on pre-installed applications on mobile devices — a claim vehemently denied by Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
