India will give VPN providers and cloud service operators an additional three months to comply with new rules that require they maintain the names and addresses of their customers and their IP addresses, delivering some relief to firms as many scrambles to follow the new guidelines and others explore the option of leaving the South Asian market.
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, says it is extending the enforcement of the new rules to September 25. The rules, unveiled in late April, were set to go into effect Monday.
CERT says it was extending the deadline because additional time had been sought by the industry players.
