The National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS) has formulated a draft ‘National Cyber Security Strategy 2021’ (NCSS 2021) that comprehensively looks at addressing the national cyberspace security issues.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for electronics and information technology informed the parliament that the government is fully cognisant and aware of the various cyber security threats, and has taken a number of measures to mitigate citizens’ vulnerability to cyberattacks.

The NCSS 2021 holistically looks at addressing the issues of security of national cyberspace. However, the government is yet to clarify on its intentions to coordinate with other countries to develop a global legal framework on cyberterrorism.
