Government approves National Cyber Security Policy

According to the government report, around 1,692 security threat incidents were reported to the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) from various national and international agencies, in last December.

Thus the government has approved the National Cyber Security Policy that aims to create a secure computing environment in the country and seeks to build adequate trust and confidence in electronic transactions along with the focus on manpower training. 

The policy caters for the whole spectrum of ICT users and providers including small and home users, medium and large enterprises and government and non-government entities. It aims to create a cyber security framework that will address all related issues over a long period. The framework will lead to specific actions and programmes to enhance the security posture of country's cyber space.

Besides, cyber security intelligence forms an integral component to be able to anticipate attacks and quickly adopt counter measures.
