As a first step towards formulating the new futuristic document titled National Cyber Security Strategy 2020, the National Security Council Secretariat has asked citizens to give suggestions as part of updating the cybersecurity policy of the country.
"The Indian Government under the aegis of National Security Council Secretariat through a well-represented Task Force is in the process of formulating the National Cyber Security Strategy 2020 (NCSS 2020) to cater for a time horizon of five years (2020-25),” read the statement in the website, that further added that the new strategy aims to ensure a safe, secure, trusted, resilient and vibrant cyberspace for country’s prosperity.
As per the website, suggestions can be submitted until December 31.
The development comes as concerns were raised about the sufficiency of the National Cyber Security Policy 2013 in addressing the growing cyber threats.
The concerns were further aggravated as Cyber intrusions and attacks have increased in scope and sophistication at a time when the country is looking to transform into a digital economy.
