Cybersecurity Must Be Part of Lifestyle; India Should Have a Dedicated Ministry: SC Lawyer & Expert to News18

News 18  

As the population of India’s internet users is growing and the country is expected to have 900 million such users by 2025, it is believed that the digital growth will invite more cybersecurity challenges in the coming years. The cybersecurity expert and Supreme Court advocate Duggal suggested: “India requires a dedicated new Ministry on cybersecurity as it has become much bigger and comprehensive in its impact and relevance.” He said the existing activities of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team only cover a portion of the spectrum of cybersecurity. Dr Duggal, who is also the Conference Director at International Conference on Cyberlaw, Cybercrime & Cybersecurity, said: “When India is becoming the most populist country in the world and as cybersecurity is going to impact the life of every Indian, the time has come for India to have dedicated Ministry on cybersecurity which can look at all aspects pertaining to cybersecurity and its protection and preservation.” The Growing Digital Threat Cyberattack incidents, including ransomware, malware and phishing attacks have increased in recent years. He said: “Individuals and businesses need to be prepared for new sets of compliances as the new data protection law is going to deal with not just personal data but also non-personal data. The Supreme Court advocate also said: “All eyes will be on the Government as to how it comes up with the new version of the data protection law in the Indian context, which is topical and relevant for today’s India.” Read all the Latest Tech News and Breaking News here
