Speaking about the challenges, Gupta said, "Shortage of cybersecurity professionals and lack of regularised data infrastructure need an urgent attention. He also pointed that absence of a governing data protection legislation, coarse cybersecurity framework deployed by organisations and poor cyber hygiene practices of Indian citizens presents additional challenges.
