Sandhu said government has adopted an integrated approach with a series of policy, legal, technical and administrative steps for addressing cyber security concerns, including the recently approved a National Cyber Security Policy and a framework for ensuring cyber security.

"This framework envisages a multi-layered approach for ensuring defence in depth and a clear delineation of functional responsibilities amongst stakeholders while stressing on coordination and sharing real-time information.

"It also seeks to strengthen our assurance and certification capacity to address supply-chain vulnerabilities, hardening of networks and promotion of research and development in cyber security with emphasis on indigenisation and capacity-building," he said.

The Deputy NSA said government has actively involved the industry associations in its efforts to ensure the security of the cyber space through the mechanism of a Joint Working Group.

"It is currently looking at setting up of Information Sharing and Analysis Centres, testing and certification labs in the private sector and Centres of Excellence in various areas related to capacity building in cyber security. We look forward to greater participation of the private sector in these areas," he said.

Sandhu said it was beyond doubt that internet is dynamic and fast-evolving and consequently, the range and criticality of unaddressed global Internet policy issues is growing with each passing day.
