The government Tuesday unveiled the National Cyber Security Policy 2013
that aims at building a secure and resilient cyberspace for citizens,
businesses and the government.
Communications and IT Minister
Kapil Sibal explained the necessity of the policy and said there were
always chances of cyber attacks from state and non-state actors,
corporates and terrorists.
He said critical infrastructure like
the air defence system, power infrastructure, nuclear plants,
telecommunications system needed to be well insulated, otherwise it may
lead to economic instability.
The distinctive feature of this
policy is to create a mechanism to obtain information regarding
information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure threats
and to respond to it and solve it. It aims at doing crisis management
through effective, preventive and proactive recovery actions.
The
policy comes amid reports of snooping by the US globally and an
ever-increasing threats to the country from cyber attacks. India
witnessed 13,000 cyber attacks in 2011.
The policy aims at
setting up a nodal agency to coordinate all matters related to cyber
security in the country with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
The
policy aims at creating a secure cyber eco-system; strengthening the
regulatory framework; creating mechanisms for early warning,
vulnerability management and response to security threats.
It also seeks to promote research and development in cyber security and reduce supply chain risks among other objectives.
