During the inauguration of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) cybersecurity hub, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT and Skill Development, asserted that India has the opportunity to leapfrog in exponential technologies like cybersecurity and the country needs investment in these technologies to keep its enterprises and key infrastructure secure from bad actors.
IBM had, in February 2022, announced a new cybersecurity hub that will train companies in Asia Pacific (APAC) region to manage the growing threat of cyberattacks. Located in Bengaluru, the new IBM Security Command Centre will leverage industry-leading audio and visual effects as well as live malware, ransomware and other real-world hacker tools.
Meanwhile, the minister also mentioned that he looks forward to IBM’s partnership with government agencies to realise the Digital India mission and make sure that the Indian cyberspace becomes and remains safe and trusted.
