Cybersecurity has become a significant concern globally, including India, which has one of the fastest growing internet user populations. The Indian government has recognized the importance of cybersecurity and has implemented various policies and strategies to strengthen the country’s cybersecurity posture.

• The National Cybersecurity Policy of India was established in 2013, aiming to create a secure and resilient cyberspace for citizens, business, and government.
• The strategy includes collaborating with international partners, improving workforce skills and expertise, and establishing a comprehensive legal framework to address cybercrimes.
• However, India's cybersecurity infrastructure still has challenges to overcome, one of them being the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals and resources.
• Another significant challenge is the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, which require constant adaptation, technology up-gradation, and awareness-raising among users.
• Additionally, inadequate enforcement of cyber laws, poor data protection, weak cybersecurity in critical infrastructures such as power grids, and outdated technologies in government systems are some of the other cybersecurity challenges in India.

India's cybersecurity strategy is essential to safeguarding the country's digital ecosystem, but it needs resources and expertise to keep up with the evolving threats.
