Aadhar is very well protected, says cybersecurity chief Rajesh Pant

National cybersecurity coordinator Lt Gen (retd) Rajesh Pant on Friday said that Aadhar is very well protected and that there was nothing to worry about.

Speaking to ANI, he said: “I can assure you that your Aadhar is very well protected and there is nothing to worry about it.”

Highlighting that major changes have been seen after the introduction of cybersecurity policy in India, he said: “Present cybersecurity policy was released in May 2013, since then it has been six years and lots of things have changed. 5G will change the scope of cybersecurity. There are new aspects like Ransomware and Internet of Things (IoT) that would help in developing a new strategy for cybersecurity,” he said.
