Cyber security in the era of information age

Abstract

Cyber security has emerged as the foremost concern for the developed world's national security in this information age. Due to the interdependence of national economies and integration of financial markets and their dependence on the digital platform that they use, they have become increasingly vulnerable to the cyber threats. As there is a lack of consensus regarding Universal Cyber Convention among major actors of the world, the threat of cyber terrorism has grown exponentially. This paper examines the different aspects of cyber threats to the national security debate of India and the world in large, and has reviewed India’s efforts to address these challenges.
