CYBER SECURITY

Computer security, also known as cyber security or IT security, is the protection of computer

systems from the theft or damage to their hardware, software or information, as well as from

disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.

Cyber security protects the data and integrity of computing assets belonging to or

connecting to an organization’s network. Its purpose is to defend those assets against all

threat actors throughout the entire life cycle of a cyber-attack.

CYBER SECURITY INITIATIVES BY THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

The number of cyber security incidents has gradually increased in India over the last few

years. As per the information collected by India’s Computer Emergency Response Team

(CERT-in), 44,679, 49,455 and 50,362 cyber security incidents took place in India during the

years 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. These incidents include phishing, website intrusions

and defacements, virus and denial of service attacks amongst others.

Additionally, while India is ranked a high 23rd out of 165 nations (with a score of 0.683) in a

global index that measures the commitment of nations across the world to cybersecurity, it

is still classified under the "maturing" category, and not the “leading” category that includes

countries like Singapore. France, United States and Australia.

Thankfully, India hasn’t been completely oblivious to the growing necessity of ensuring cyber

security. It has set up its own ‘cyber security architecture’ that will comprise of the National

Cyber Coordination Centre (NCCC) for threat assessment and information sharing among

stakeholders, the Cyber Operation Centre that will jointly be run by the NTRO and the armed

forces for threat management and mitigation for identified critical sectors, and the National

Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre (NCIIPC) under the NTRO for providing

cover to ‘critical information infrastructure’.

National Cyber Security Policy 2013

The Government of India took the first formalized step towards cyber security in 2013, vide

the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Department of Electronics and

Information Technology’s National Cyber Security Policy, 2013. The Policy is aimed at building

a secure and resilient cyberspace for citizens, businesses and the Government. Its mission is

to protect cyberspace information and infrastructure, build capabilities to prevent and

respond to cyber-attacks, and minimize damages through coordinated efforts of institutional

structures, people, processes, and technology.

Some of the strategies adopted by the Policy include:

Creating a secure cyber ecosystem through measures such as a national nodal

agency, encouraging organisations to designate a member of senior management

as the Chief Information Security Officer and develop information security policies.

Creating an assurance framework.

Encouraging open standards.

Strengthening the regulatory framework coupled with periodic reviews, harmonization

with international standards, and spreading awareness about the legal framework.

Creating mechanisms for security threats and responses to the same through national

systems and processes. National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-in)

functions as the nodal agency for coordination of all cyber security efforts, emergency

responses, and crisis management.

Securing e-governance by implementing global best practices, and wider use of

Public Key Infrastructure.

Protection and resilience of critical information infrastructure with the National Critical

Information Infrastructure Protection Centre operating as the nodal agency.

To promote cutting edge research and development of cyber security technology.

Human Resource Development through education and training programs to build

capacity.

Cyber Swachhta Kendra

To combat cyber security violations and prevent their increase, Government of India’s

Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-in) in February 2017 launched ‘Cyber

Swachhta Kendra’ (Botnet Cleaning and Malware Analysis Centre) a new desktop and

mobile security solution for cyber security in India. The centre is operated by CERT-in under

Section 70B of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

The Centre offers the following security and protective tools

1. USB Pratirodh

2. Samvid

3. M-Kavach

4. Browser JSGuard

Collaboration with industry partners

Development of Public Private Partnerships is an important strategy under the National Cyber

Security Policy 2013. To combat the ever-evolving techniques of cyber intrusions, MoU

between Cisco and CERT-In. And another Cyber Swachhta Kendra initiative, antivirus

company Quick Heal is providing a free bot removal Tool.

International Cooperation Initiatives

The Indian government has entered into cyber security collaborations with countries such as

the USA, European Union and Malaysia.

Future Initiatives

Experts have suggested the setting up of a National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) to

address cyber security issues and improve implementation at a national level.

Another proposed measure is setting up of a National Cyber Coordination Centre (NCCC)

as a cyber security and e-surveillance agency, to screen communication metadata and co-

ordinate the intelligence gathering activities of other agencies.
