Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the geopolitics of the global cyber space to analyse India’s cyber security landscape. As conflicts go more online, nation-states are manipulating the cyber space to exploit each other’s dependence on information, communication and digital technologies. All the major powers have dedicated cyber units to breach computer networks, harvest sensitive data and proprietary information, and disrupt critical national infrastructure operations. This volume reviews threats to Indian computer networks, analyses the country’s policy responses to these threats, and suggests comprehensive measures to build resilience in the system. India constitutes the second largest internet user base in the world, and this expansion of the user base also saw an accompanying rise in cyber crimes. The book discusses how the country can protect this user base, the data-dependent critical infrastructure, build resilient digital payment systems, and answer the challenges of the dark net. It also explores India’s cyber diplomacy, as an emerging economy with a large IT industry and a well-established technological base. Topical and lucid, this book as part of The Gateway House Guide to India in the 2020s series, will be of interest to scholars and researchers of cyber security, digital diplomacy, foreign policy, international relations, geopolitics, strategic affairs, defence studies, South Asian politics and international politics.

Download or read book Cyber Warfare written by Sanjeev Relia and published by Vij Books India Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each era brings with it new techniques and methods of waging a war. While military scholars and experts have mastered land, sea, air and space warfare, time has come that they studied the art of cyberwar too. Our neighbours have acquired the capabilities to undertake this new form of asymmetric form of warfare. India too therefore needs to acquire the capabilities to counter their threat. Cyber space seems to have invaded every aspect of our life. More and more systems whether public or private are getting automated and networked. This high dependence of our critical infrastructure on Information and Communication Technology exposes it to the vulnerabilities of cyberspace. Enemy now can target such infrastructure through the cyberspace and degrade/ destroy them. This implies that the critical information infrastructure of the country and military networks today are both equally vulnerable to enemy’s cyberattacks. India therefore must protect its critical information infrastructure as she would protect the military infrastructure in the battlefield. Public – Private Partnership model is the only model which would succeed in doing so. While the Government needs to lay down the policies and frame the right laws, private sector needs to invest into cyber security. Organisations at national level and at the level of armed forces need to be raised which can protect our assets and are also capable of undertaking offensive cyber operations. This book is an attempt to understand various nuances of cyber warfare and how it affects our national security. Based on the cyber threat environment, the books recommends a framework of cyber doctrine and cyber strategies as well as organisational structure of various organisations which a nation needs to invest in.

Download or read book National Security in the Digital Age written by Sushma Devi and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering study, Sushma Devi explores the place of cybersecurity within the larger international debate on security issues. She argues that it is important to begin placing cybersecurity in the context of national security matters since the issues are most often relegated to technology debates. *National Security in the Digital Age *argues that cyber threats can be viewed as national security matters and therefore should be relevant to the security studies field and should be analyzed using security studies theories. It also highlights the policy and institutional responses to cybersecurity challenges undertaken by the government of India. Unexplored security issues frequently identified in the world today, including those in a critical region of international conflict, are thus central to this book. The use of internet is rapidly expanding and has become the core component of everyday society. Yet easy access to data brings along severe security issues. The large number of attacks in recent years have had serious economic and social consequences, resulting in state officials all over the world acknowledging the importance of effective cybersecurity. Nevertheless, implementing effective measures to secure cyberspace remains difficult. A cyber threat has the potential to breach all levels of security very quickly due to the speed with which actions can occur and the extent of our interconnectedness. For a geopolitical realist, states play a central role in addressing cyber threats to national security because they remain the actors with the power and authority to improve defenses against most existential cyber threats. While private sector actors in most countries are critical to security in cyberspace, the threat agents can be criminals, hackers, terrorists, and nation-states. The potential victims at risk from these threats are equally diverse. Threat actors often target personal information to commit fraud, an act that can, in the inter-connected world of cyberspace, make all individuals in a nation potential victims. Herein lies the complexity of analyzing the inflow/outflow of information across borders and the ramification of this analysis for national security.
