Key takeaways from webinar on Safeguarding India’s Borders and Strengthening Cybersecurity
Webinar: Sameer Patil, a distinguished scholar of International Relations as well as a Senior Fellow at Observer Research Foundation, guided us through the cyber security of India. He enlightened us about the discrete ways currency, arms as well as narcotics are trafficked from one country to the other. Backing his arguments on the usage of drones, he quoted the Border Security Force, stating that they detected and captured 107 drones that were carrying ammunition and heroine.
He highlighted the cyber systems of countries like Israel and commented on how they are able to detect weapon smuggling, trespassing, hacking as well as incoming missiles due to their cyber security infrastructure.
Mr. Patil shared his knowledge on the various governmental infrastructures, working in both the public and private spheres. Emphasizing on the the National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Center (NCIIPC) and the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), he educated us the workings of these institutions as well as their success.
At the end of the webinar, I was a lot more aware about the cyber security practices in our country. My interest in this domain grew and I hope to work on future projects around this theme.
