CYBER SECURITY

-


India recorded a whopping 36.29 lakh cyber security incidents since 2019 till June this year and the government has taken a number of steps to check such designs, said Union minister Ajay Kumar Mishra said on Tuesday.

"As per information reported to and tracked by Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), a total of 3,94,499, 11,58,208, 14,02,809 and 67,4021 cyber security incidents were observed during 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 ( upto June), respectively," PTI reported citing minister's reply in Lok Sabha to a written question.

Mishra said the government has taken a number of steps to advance the cyber security posture and avert cyber attacks that include issuing alerts, advisories regarding latest cyber threats and vulnerabilities, and counter measures to protect computers and networks on a regular basis.

The government is operating an automated cyber threat exchange platform for proactively collecting, analysing and sharing tailored alerts with organisations across sectors for proactive threat mitigation actions by them, he said.

The minister of state for home said the government has issued guidelines for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) regarding their key roles and responsibilities for securing applications and infrastructure and compliance.

All the government websites and applications are audited with respect to cyber security prior to their hosting, the auditing of the websites and the applications is conducted on a regular basis after hosting, he said.

Conclusion

In the age of digital transformation and constant threats to digital safety, consumers are veering towards firms or policies needed for information security. Privacy and security have become important verticals that help consumers choose. Firms that provide the best cybersecurity options will be favored over those that cannot offer accessible security measures against hacking, ransomware, malware, and much more. This is a critical juncture in India and the world, where the most brilliant move is to recognize the genuine threat posed by cyber-attacks and to work with qualified and agile teams to protect data.

 Corruption is a widespread problem that affects societies globally, eroding trust in public institutions and hindering economic growth. It is a form of unethical behavior that involves the abuse of power for personal gain. Corruption can take many forms, including bribery, nepotism, embezzlement, and kickbacks. Bribery, the act of offering or accepting bribes, is one of the most common forms of corruption. It is used to gain an unfair advantage in business or government contracts, or to secure political support for a particular issue. Bribery undermines the integrity of public institutions, as it allows the wealthy and powerful to buy their way into positions of influence. Nepotism, the practice of favoring family members or friends in the workplace, is another form of corruption. This type of corruption undermines merit-based systems, and it can create a culture of entitlement, where people believe they are entitled to certain privileges based on their connections, rather than th...

Importance of true Friends

We all need someone for whom there will always remain a soft corner in our heart, someone with whom we can share everything, all our feelings of happiness and sorrow. That someone, is someone we call a friend. A friend is the key to that lock, behind which lies all our happiness. A friend is someone who supports us in every walk of our lives. It is often said that a person is known by his/her company and it is also very important that we choose our friends wisely, because if we don't recognize a right friend, its result can be too much hazardous.          People sometimes really commit this mistake, and then they have to suffer through a very painful consequence in their future. When someone faces this situation, he/she forms his/her opinion of friendship as a betrayal. So it is very important that we should keep enough sense to distinguish between what is good and what is bad for us. We  often get confused with the correct definition of a friend, and we th...
