Quote from Shrenik Bhayani, General Manager, Kaspersky (South Asia)

“As India progressively moves forward on its path of digitization with the government introducing advanced technologies in various sectors and even concentrating their focus on digitally advancing villages, we hope that cybersecurity will be part of the budget plan.

From huge critical infrastructures to an individual with a mobile phone all need to have the correct cybersecurity practices in place. In my opinion, the government should spend its cybersecurity budgets on making people aware of the challenges and threats, conduct trainings for the government employees and also promote the same for the Indian companies. What is also required is for the government to spend on updating the old operating systems to save ATM’s from attacks like Wannacry and keep the other systems in check by implanting advanced security frameworks that are needed to be ready to fight cybercrime.”
