Title: The Invisible War: Cyber Security, Cyber Warfare & Media’s Role | UPSC GS 3 Internal Security
Description:
Prepare for UPSC GS 3 Internal Security with a deep exploration of India's digital vulnerabilities. Did you know a company in India faces a cyber attack every 11 seconds? This lecture analyzes the invisible domain of cyber threats, institutional defense mechanisms, and the crucial role of media.
Key discussion pointers:
• Understanding Cyber Security: It is defined as a multi-layer defense protecting Computing Devices, Networks, and Data from unauthorized access, destruction, and disruption.
• The Big Three Threats: We analyze Cyber Crimes (motivated by profit/revenge, e.g., Ransomware, DDoS, Identity Theft), Cyber Terrorism (spreading fear and attacking critical infrastructure, e.g., the Mumbai Power Grid incident), and State-sponsored Cyber Warfare (the fifth domain of war, involving espionage and infrastructure disruption).
• Legal and Institutional Framework: Review of India's defense system, including the roles of key agencies like CERT-In, NCII PC, and the Defence Cyber Agency.
• Legal Deficiencies: Discussion of the legal framework, noting that the National Cyber Security Policy is considered outdated (2013) and the IT Act 2000 requires major updates, as many new-age threats like Ransomware are not explicitly defined.
• Major Challenges: India faces a massive skill shortage, needing 1.5 million cyber security professionals by 2025, along with the risks associated with dependency on imported hardware.
• Media as a Double-Edged Sword: Analyzing how media and social media can be used for crisis response or become a national security threat by spreading fake news, promoting radicalization, and leaking sensitive information (e.g., during 26/11).
