India :- A soft target in event of cyberwar


According to wikipedia
Cyberwarfare is politically motivated hacking to conduct sabotage and espionage. It is a form of information warfare sometimes seen as analogous to conventional warfare.

India a country with all most half of the population in 125 crores people have access to Internet resources. From Banks to Corporates and from factories to large industries are depending on Internet for daily work
Yes India is a one of the countries who have largest Anti-virus market sale but it does not over cyberspace is safe to use.
Government efforts to secure our cyberspace on paper.
In today world when countries like usa and china have capabilities of defending and counter defensive. India has no such facility for sake of our national security.
Government is sitting quite in this major field of Cyber-security, In pmo office there is no designation of any cyber command division, hence there is no briefing about countries Cyber-security status to Honorable Prime Minister.
Evening the secret service of India there is no sub division took after any event of cyber terrorism or cyber attack on the critical infrastructure of India and also on the different government and private organization the present to handle such situations.

Recently China admitted that it has its own cyber army

which was a big surprise to whole world because it was a first
official confirmation from China.
The security experts worldwide has already agreed and alerted that next world war will not be fought with nuclear weapons rather it will a online cyber war where countries will bring harm to each others critical infrastructure and public services.
Imagine a day when all share market crashes and banks dont work, all communication medium start failing landline, cellphone, even satellite will also be useless.

A high-profile cyber attack on 12 July 2012 breached the email accounts of about 12,000 people, including those of officials from the Ministry of External Affairs, Ministry of Home Affairs, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).[42] A government-private sector plan being overseen by National Security Advisor (NSA) Shivshankar Menon began in October 2012, and intends to beef up India's cyber security capabilities in the light of a group of experts findings that India faces a 470,000 shortfall of such experts despite the country's reputation of being an IT and software powerhouse

We need to act know because we never wants 1963 history to repeat itself when China attacked India but this no bullets will be fired instead a series of sequenced attack will be conducted on critical infrastructure of our country.
"Believe it or not we live in a technology dominant era and who can control can do what he wants"
