Today, due to the modern life style people have joined technology life and using more technology for shopping as well as financial transactions in their cyber space. At the same time, safeguarding of knowledge has become increasingly difficult. In addition, the heavy use and growth of social media, online crime or cybercrime has increased. In the world of information technology, data security plays a significant role. The information security has become one of today’s main challenges. Whenever we think of cyber security, we first of all think of ‘cybercrimes,’ which expand tremendously every day. Different government and businesses take various steps to avoid this form of cybercrime. In addition to numerous cyber protection initiatives, many people are also very worried about it. This paper focuses primarily on cyber security concerns related to the new technology. It also concentrates on the new technologies for cyber security, ethics and developments that impact cyber security.

India is world’s largest democracy of the world and accordingly protects free speech and expression through its laws and constitution, still freedom of speech and expression is not absolute and privacy in online sphere is being restricted for many reasons. There are several reasons for which speech and expression is being curtailed such as-defamation, maintenance of national security and communal harmony are major reasons for which they can be curtailed. Under the Indian Constitution, the scope of Article 21 is multi-dimensional. The laws of torts, criminal laws as well as property law also contain a right to privacy in this paper to examine the adequacy and balance between the privacy of the person and the protection and the safety of the country within the legislative structure relevant to surveillance. It is ironic that the majority of Indians were protected from cyber surveillance PRISM not because they were well shielded from any potential violation of their privacy, but actually because they were not yet able to be online. It also shows that even today, most Indians do not have computer access and do not have access to resources to ensure they are covered of any covert activity by surveillance agencies. But this is definitely not something that the government or the Indian people would stabilize.
