Electronic manufacturers should ensure nation’s security interests: IT secy

Electronic component manufacturers should ensure the country’s security interests while starting new projects, said Union IT Secretary S Krishnan on Saturday.

Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology Secretary Krishnan said the government was opening up on this topic and has been instructing companies to ensure that while designing a project, the country’s security interests should be taken care of.

“We spoke about this briefly (in the past) and how cyber security is becoming more and more important. This is something I would especially want the senior citizens, here something we need to be extremely careful about on a day-by-day basis,” Krishnan said.
