Government Releases National Cyber Security Policy 2013


The Minister said there will be multiple places from where cyberwar could take place, it will involve individuals, sections of society, businesses, terrorists, drug dealers and those who want to generate violence.

He added it will not be able to point out to a particular country to say the source of the attack because it will difficult in the cyberspace to figure it out.

"In the ultimate analysis, we have to develop global standards because there is no way that we can have a policy within the context of India which is not connected with the rest of the world because information knows no territorial boundaries," Sibal added.

He said everything today is cross border, we have to corroborate to find what is that meeting ground which allows the citizens to be empowered and at the same time ensures that nation is safe.

"We don't know who attack our systems, so we have to ourselves secure our systems," Sibal added.

In order to create a secure cyber ecosystem, the policy plans to set up a national nodal agency to coordinate all matters related to cyber security in the country with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.

It plans to establish a mechanism for sharing information, identifying and responding to cybersecurity incidents and for cooperation in restoration efforts.
