India’s cybersecurity infrastructure faces several significant challenges, especially in the context of shifting geopolitical dynamics. The National Cyber Security Policy of 2013 is outdated and lacks the comprehensive framework needed to address contemporary threats, leaving the nation vulnerable to state-sponsored cyber-attacks, particularly from adversaries like China and Pakistan. Critical infrastructure, such as energy, transportation, and banking, remains inadequately protected, making it a prime target during geopolitical tensions. The shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals further exacerbates the issue, as the education and training sectors fail to produce enough experts to meet the growing demand. Additionally, there is limited coordination and intelligence sharing among various sectors and organizations, leading to slower responses to emerging threats. These vulnerabilities are magnified in an era where cyber warfare is becoming a more prominent tool in international conflicts, highlighting the urgent need for India to bolster its cybersecurity framework and capabilities.
