India’s long-awaited National Cybersecurity Strategy (NCS) is back in progress, with consultations across ministries and industry stakeholders, as announced by Narendranath Gangavarapu, Joint Secretary at the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS). The strategy aims to unify efforts in safeguarding India’s digital infrastructure and improve its ranking in the International Telecommunication Union’s cybersecurity index. Gangavarapu highlighted that despite the absence of a formal strategy, the NSCS has been proactive in addressing cyber threats, particularly during recent border skirmishes with Pakistan. This development underscores the Indian government’s commitment to enhancing national security through a cohesive cybersecurity policy, reflecting India’s strategic focus on strengthening its defenses in an increasingly digital world.
