Position India as market leader in cybersecurity

The magnitude of digitisation across sectors, including banking, has necessitated a sharper focus on cybersecurity, IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Thursday exhorting start-ups, industry and academia to address rising complexities and challenges on a bigger scale to position India as a thought-leader and market leader in cyber safety.
The vulnerabilities have grown multifold in the new world of increasingly-connected systems, and require innovators and cybersecurity experts to be a step ahead of those who seek to compromise or hack digital systems. Start-ups, working in the area of cybersecurity, should come up with innovative ideas to address such complex challenges, the minister said assuring the industry of full support from the government.
