Rajesh Pant, National Cyber Security Coordinator said that cyber security threats are the biggest risk to National security. He also said that building cyber hygiene is very important.
While speaking at a summit, Pant asked to spread awareness in the country about cyber security.
"Threats to cyber security are one of the biggest risks to National security, and awareness and building cyber hygiene followed by audits is very important," Pant said.
According to Ashutosh Chadha, Group Head and Director, Government Affairs, Microsoft India mentioned that each year cybercrime costs more than USD 6 trillion to economies and it is expected to increase to USD 10 trillion by 2025.
"This signals across the industry that every company needs to create a culture of security," Chadha said.
CII Centre for Digital Transformation chairman and NIIT vice-chairman and MD Vijay Thadani said artificial intelligence solutions could be used as the best mitigating factors for cyber threats and India should focus on being a solution provider for cyber security.
"Cybersecurity is not just about managing risk, it's also a strategic issue that shapes product capability, organisational effectiveness, and customer relationships," Thadani said.
