"As per the Director General of IDSA Dr Arvind Gupta, in analyzing the various dimensions of cyber security challenge to India, the Task Force argues that India must foresee and plan for various challenges arising out of the growth of internet and digitalization of governance. Failure to do so can be catastrophic and could affect national security, Indian economy and social stability. India is particularly vulnerable to the threats from cyber crime, cyber terrorism, cyber espionage and cyber warfare. India’s critical infrastructure is also vulnerable."
What makes the Cyber Security issue even more complicated is the fact that these technologies are not just available to the state where law and policies can control and limit their use, they are widely available in the public domain where commercial and individual motives can easily lead to misuse.
Drawing a comparison between states, the NSA said that information technologies and their effects have made asymmetric strategies much more effective and attractive. He added that the weaker states use cyber war and anti satellite capabilities to neutralise or raise the cost and deter the use of its military strength by a stronger sate.
The NSA concluded that India should be prepared to deal with both the threats to cyber space and risks arising through cyber space, as a “step towards a coherent and comprehensive cyber security policy”, adding that the while NTRO is tasked to deal with the protection of our critical security cyber infrastructure, institutions like CERT-IN have proved their worth during events like Common Wealth Games in defending our open civil systems……………….

“India needs to create a climate and environment within which security is built into our cyber and communications working methods”, said National Security Advisor (NSA), Mr Shiv Shankar Menon. Mr Menon was releasing the Institute of Defence Studies and Analyses’ (IDSA) report on India's Cyber Security Challenges at IDSA on May 16, 2012.
The NSA stated categorically that India was not in favour of curbing freedom of expression on the internet, but at the same time, in a democracy a line will need to be drawn between the collective right to security and individual’s right to privacy.
The nation needs to harden its critical networks and develop metrics to certify and assure that our critical cyber networks, equipment and infrastructure are secure………….
