An analytical study on challenges and gaps in India's cyber security framework

Abstract

In the digital age, cyber security has emerged as a critical concern for nations worldwide, including India. As India emerges as a global digital powerhouse, its rapidly expanding digital landscape faces an unprecedented surge in cyber threats. From sophisticated state-sponsored espionage to disruptive ransomware attacks, the nation grapples with vulnerabilities that threaten its economic and national security. This paper delves into the critical shortcomings of India’s cyber security framework, examining outdated policies, fragmented institutional mechanisms, and technological reliance on foreign solutions. By highlighting these gaps, the study advocates for comprehensive reforms to fortify India’s resilience against an evolving spectrum of cyber threats.
