Dataquest organized the Data Resiliency Road Show in New Delhi with the theme: Protecting data in a difficult world, along with Commvault and Lenovo.
CYBERSECURITY PART OF NATIONAL SECURITY
A Bhardwaj, Joint Director, IT & Cyber Security, Ministry of Defence, gave the keynote address. India has jumped to 10 from 47 in the global cybersecurity index. Data protection bill was also approved last week by Government of India. Cybersecurity is now part of the national security. Cybercrime is the largest man-made risk for any country. India is the third largest country that is being attacked right now. We are now awaiting the arrival of Kali Yuga.
We have now moved to the digital world. There are no checks and balances there. There is no security, but only opportunity. Cybersecurity is today mired in obscurity, more than ever before. We have ransomware attacks, disinformation drives, malware attacks via smartphones, supply chain disruptions, crypto-currency, and digital currency theft, etc. Man has been continuously evolving with the security issue.
Aneesh Dhawan, Head, Enterprise and Public Sector Sales, India and SAARC, Commvault, delivered the industry keynote. Life has got transformed because of multiple things. Threat landscape has also changed completely over the last five years. Core of any transformation is data. Every IT leader appreciates the fact that the more technology is embedded in your daily life, the more valuable is the data. Leaders now need to think about how can they protect their data.
In 2018, there were 2 lakh attacks. By first two months of 2022, it was 2.14 lakhs. 93% did not have proper identity access controls. 65% did not have proper information protection strategies. Attacks are now faster than ever. What once took months, now takes minutes.
