Way Forward

The need to be aware of the nature of the cyber threat and take adequate precautionary measures, has become extremely vital.
New technologies such as artificial intelligence, Machine learning and quantum computing, also present new opportunities.
Nations that are adequately prepared and have made rapid progress in artificial intelligence and quantum computing have a clear advantage over states that lag behind in these fields.
Pressure also needs to be put on officials in the public domain to carry out regular vulnerability assessments and create necessary awareness of the growing cyber threat.
It is time that cybersecurity as a specialised discipline becomes an integral component of any IT syllabus being taught within our university systems as well as outside.
Coordination among CERTs of different countries.
Ensure that vulnerable sections of our society do not fall prey to the evil designs of cyber criminals.
Understanding and implementing the global best practices of the cyber space.
Need for India to move on from IT security to cyber security.
Organisations that are hit by cyber-attacks must inform law enforcement immediately instead of worrying about their reputations.
Important to have crisis management plans so that it helps to react in a given situation.
A dedicated industry forum for cyber security should be set up to develop trusted indigenous solutions to check cyber-attacks.
