In a strategic move to bolster India’s cybersecurity framework, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has convened a significant meeting with top regulators and industry leaders to combat rising threats such as spam, phishing, and cyber fraud. The meeting, which included representatives from the Reserve Bank of India and major tech firms, focused on proposals for enhanced security measures, including real-time credential validation and mandatory whitelisting of communication links used in financial services. TRAI’s initiatives aim to restore consumer trust in digital transactions, particularly through a new 1600-series numbering plan for the BFSI sector. This collaborative effort underscores the importance of a unified approach in safeguarding digital ecosystems, reflecting India’s commitment to enhancing cybersecurity in its rapidly growing digital economy.
