Department of Telecom asks its offices, CPSEs for security audit certification

NEW DELHI: The Department of Telecom (DoT) has directed offices and central public sector undertakings (CPSEs) like BSNL, MTNL, BBNL and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) under its ambit and other key wings to submit a security audit certification of their websites and web portals by November 30.

This is in the wake of the several reports of hacking into portals of government department and CPSEs by external and internal hackers leading to leakage of crucial and classified information.
