Dr Rajesh Pant, National Cybersecurity Coordinator from Prime Minister’s Office, said that the new government is in the final lap of launching the new cybersecurity policy. While elaborating on the policy that it would address all the issues related to the cyber ecosystem, from standardisation to capacity development, he said that the government is likely to launch it within the next two to three months.
“The most important aspect of the policy would be to address the cyber threat and synergies between various stakeholders,” Pant said.
“As an organisation, we are exposed to approximately 30 million people on daily basis, of which we collect date of about 3 million people and also we have to manage the data of 1.4 million employees for over 45-50 years. While we have to provide service and also are required to manage the data, it becomes extremely difficult for us to manage both. Moreso, when ownership and privacy of the data is concerned,” said Vijay K Devnath, GM (I&S), MDMS & CISO), Centre for Railway Information System (CRIS), Government of India.
