This year the government has been working on a cybersecurity strategy that aims to thwart the risk of data breaches, which has been considered a top priority since 2020. In light of a series of ransomware attacks concerning critical data that may have been compromised in recent months, experts and officials view these measures as imperative to protect against such attacks.
There has been a recent breach of Solar India Industries Limited, which is a company that supplies defense-related equipment, and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), which is a leading research and healthcare organization in the country, that was reported to be the work of attackers in the last couple months.
One of the strategies is to assess the severity of several vertical segments of data breaches, according to a person familiar with the matter. As part of these mitigation measures, a national threat intelligence exchange is being set up. A malware repository is being created. Baseline audits are being conducted, and awareness events such as Cyber Week are being planned.
There is a three-pronged strategy centered on people, processes, and technology. A prime example is the people vertical, which entails improving cyber hygiene so that more cybersecurity professionals are trained and increasing cyber hygiene education.
