Critical
national infrastructure security in India needs to be
strengthened. Highly sophisticated malware like Duqu,
Stuxnet,
etc targeted India in the year 2011 and India
is still investigating the Duqu malware. Indian nuclear
facilities, automated
power grids, satellites,
defense
networks, governmental
informatics infrastructures, etc are vulnerable to sophisticated
cyber attacks. It is still not clear whether Indian
satellites are safe from cyber attacks.
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is
another area of concern. Cyber
protection of SCADA systems in India must also be ensured.
Similarly, Indian
defense and security against cyber warfare needs to be
developed so that cyber attacks against India can be thwarted. A good
cyber
security policy in India must be formulated that must
include a critical
ICT infrastructure protection policy of India as well.
Similarly, effective legal
and policy framework for cyber security must also be
created in India.
