Elevating cyber security has become a national concern, said Dr Gulshan Rai, Director General of Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (ICERT) as he delivered a lecture on 'Cyber Security Threat Landscape, Initiatives taken by government for Securing Cyber Space' on the first day of the 73rd annual meeting of the Indian Academy of Sciences (IASc) at PU on Friday.
Discussing facts regarding cyber security, Dr Rai said the number of mobile phones in the world was expected to rise to 8 billion by 2016, while the annual subscription of broadband users was rising by 40 per cent and is expected to reach 3.5 billion by 2015.
"Cyber attacks by hostile organisations, nations and criminals are on the rise, along with increase in cases of threatening governments, business and individuals by attempting to extract technical, financial, and national security information," he said.
He talked about rising security problems along with rise in importance of social media. Highlighting that specialised Trojans and malware are targeting the financial sector, Dr Rai added that sophisticated malware was being used as cyber weapons, which are capable of disrupting functioning of Industrial Control System and critical infrastructure.
