Measures to Protect Security Data from Cyber Spying
Government has taken a number of steps to protect confidential information pertaining to Defence Sector from Cyber-attack including setting up of Cyber Operation Centres for threat management and mitigation as part of Framework for Enhancing Cyber Security of Indian Cyberspace. To protect important and confidential data from Cyber-attack, the operational networks of the Armed Forces are air gapped from internet. Further, Defence Services have established Cyber Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) to prevent and react to cyber-attacks. Safeguards have been instituted in the form of audits and physical checks. Policies, guidelines and procedures are laid down and cyber security advisories are issued from time to time. This information was given by Defence Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar in a written reply to Shri Prof. M. V Rajeev Gowda in Rajya Sabha today.
