India in final stages of clearing national cybersecurity strategy, says national coordinator

India is in the final stages to clear a National Cybersecurity Strategy in the wake of growing cyber attacks and threats from nation-state actors against the country, national cyber security coordinator Lt. Gen. (retd) Rajesh Pant has stressed.
There are about 4 million malware that are detected every day and India is one of the most cyber attacked nations in the world.
“One of the reasons for that is that we have a large attack surface with 1.15 billion phones and more than 700 million Internet users,” Pant said during the third edition of ‘ExpertSpeak’, a curated dialogue series by Microsoft with industry experts.
