Reporting cyber attacks
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is likely to come out with new cyber security regulations, as indicated by Minister of State Rajeev Chandrasekhar at a recent cyber security event. Security breaches While this, in principle, is likely to improve cyber security and reduce attacks and breaches, why are there continuing breach incidents every minute? The first is that the government empanel third party cyber security auditors for the conduct of periodical cyber security impact assessments, primarily amongst all the government departments, both at the national and State level, so that security threats and incidents can be detected proactively and incidents averted. The government can also mandate that periodic security audit reports be published by private firms and arrange to conduct surprise security audits towards enforcements. Much like IBM, which set up a large cyber security command centre in Bengaluru, other large firms can also be encouraged to set up such centres for protection of their firms’ assets.
