The incidences of cyber security breaches are increasing day by day. What's worse,
there's nobody immune from it; governments, private organizations, individuals- all
have been victims of cyber attacks at some time or the other, sometimes without
even realizing it.
Due to constantly evolving nature of modern IT age and other issues involved,
cyber security remains a major concern for security authorities and
policymakers in India.
Private participation in cyber security still remains a distant dream for India.

A national and sector wise 24/7 mechanism has been envisaged to deal with
cyber threats through National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection
Centre (NCIIPC).
The policy caters for the whole spectrum of ICT users and provides service to,
including small and home users, medium and large enterprises and
government and non-government entities.
The policy avoids addressing some of the most basic and polarizing debates
such as the role of civilian versus military establishment in cyber security,
privacy versus security , censorship versus freedom of speech and use of
Indigenous security products versus importing vulnerable technology.
Most of the cyber crimes are expected to be dealt by the local police under
state government in combination with outside consultants.
India will soon get an overarching body for cyber intelligence and security.
The National Cyber Security and Coordination Centre (NCSC) will analyze
Internet traffic data scanned and integrated from various gateway routers at
a centralized location. It will facilitate real-time assessment of cyber-security
threats and generate actionable reports for various agencies.
As a multi-agency body under the Department of Electronics and IT, the NCSC
will include the National Security Council Secretariat, the Intelligence Bureau,
the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), the Indian Computer Emergency
Response Team (CERT-In), the National Technical Research Organization
(NTRO), the three armed forces and the Department of Telecommunications.
With Indias vision of Digital India and National Fiber Optic Network to
connect billions of masses, it is imperative to have a proper cyber security
measure.
