ABSTRACT
Cyber-security is perhaps the single most important threat and an immense opportunity for a country of India’s size and one with the ambition to be a part of the governance regime that will nurture economic growth, political stability, and social wellbeing in Asia and beyond. Just as financial stability, currency adequacy, food, and energy security are policy priorities for the Indian government, cyber-security must be elevated to a subject of national and strategic importance. Security concerns around India’s digital infrastructure are pressing, given that the country’s commercially popular and widely deployed hardware and software are created by foreign companies that rely on complex value chains.
