With its archaic governmental architecture, India is still in expansion mode with little time spared on digital security. One of the significant reasons of India’s inertia is its lack of understanding and appreciation of the gravity of cyber security. Added to that, despite being a proclaimed land of young people, India’s age-old lamentation for its youth is one of the vital stumbling blocks to adopting a strong cyber security policy. For example, the Narendra Modi-government appointed expert group ‘to prepare a roadmap on cyber security’ is comprised of aged professors and busy bureaucrats who cannot keep pace with the speed, agility and thought of modern-day hackers. China and all other countries’ cyber security, on the other hand, rest in the hands of their young cyber experts.
