“Cyber criminals? I'd say they're the most tamed animals in our zoo!
In recent years we've been discovering much wilder, more dangerous
stuff — more and more viruses that can be classified as
cyber weapons, created by nation states or by private companies
sponsored by them.
Though you can never be absolutely safe, our staff hasn't been
threatened, and I hope never will be. This may be because we fight
malware, we don't conduct criminal investigations. This is what the
police should do.
I believe the World Wide Web should be divided into three zones. A
red zone for critical processes; for operations in this zone an Internet
ID should be mandatory. Then comes the yellow zone, where minimal
authorization is needed; for example, age verification for online shops
selling alcohol, or adult stores. And finally there’s the green zone:
blogs, social networks, news sites, chats… - everything that’s about
your freedom of speech. No authorization required ” Who is the

Didn't you harbour ambitions of taking up acting?
Oh, yes! I had played my father's daughter in Teen
Kanya. I was also there in Samapti. But my school had a
huge problem with me doing movies and my father had
been sent a letter stating that the authorities didn't
appreciate the idea of a student doing movies. Baba
had to write a letter in reply where he had stated that
since it was an offer for a Manik da movie, he had
found it difficult to turn it down.
Your father was a lawyer. How did he balance his
home and career?
My father was a criminal lawyer. He would first go to
