India's New Cyber Warfare Doctrine Enhances Defense Capabilities
India has unveiled a new cyber warfare doctrine, termed the “digital Brahmastra,” which allows for offensive cyber operations without a no first use policy. This proactive strategy, announced by CDS General Anil Chauhan, emphasizes real-time counterattacks to enemy cyber threats, targeting critical systems such as radars, satellites, and communication networks. With an established Unified Cyber Command, India aims to respond swiftly to any cyber aggression, marking a significant shift in its defense capabilities against adversaries like China and Pakistan, who have previously employed cyberattacks against India. This doctrine positions India as a formidable player in cyber warfare, enhancing its strategic defenses significantly.
