Developing a ‘cyber-secure nation’ for businesses and individuals is a key component of India's national cybersecurity strategy.
A SKOCH event featured Indian National Cybersecurity Coordinator Rajesh Pant, who claimed that when India's cybersecurity strategy policy is released in 2020, it will be able to secure the entire nation. In plenty of ways, this will assist the government in its vision for a $5 trillion economy.
Adding to that, he explained how the most essential requirement for securing the internet is for government officials to coordinate effectively to protect the entire country from cyber threats. A cybersecurity framework must take into account the proper formation of critical infrastructure and the establishment of seamless public-private partnerships.
Creating such a rigorous framework will require a significant budget. “Considering our nation's size and scale, we need approximately ₹25,000 crores for cyber security Indian government projects. The university curriculum must also emphasize cybersecurity as a high-decibel awareness subject”, said Ajeet Bajpai, Director-General of the National Critical Infrastructure Protection Centre.
There has never been a more crucial time to develop a secure framework for all government organizations, with an increasing number of breaches affecting the country and government websites being hacked.
As part of this article, we will outline the progress India has made regarding its cybersecurity strategy in 2020 and some of the Indian government initiatives on cybersecurity taken. Read more here: Indian government initiatives on cybersecurity
