Defence Cyber Agency Of India : Very few people would know that India also has its own Defence Cyber Agency, which gives a befitting reply to the strongest cyber attacks from outside China. This is the tri service command. It has been made from the military staff of all the three wings of the army. It has started doing its work now.
Its headquarter is in Delhi. It has started working fully from November 2019. It works in two ways. One protects our sensitive information from cyber attacks and secondly, if someone tries to break into it, then this cyber command also gives full answers to him. Its commander is Rear Admiral Mohit Gupta.
All of us are seeing that China is constantly trying to not only steal our sensitive information, but also keeps an eye on all our data. In the last few days, his news has come to us continuously. Our Defense Cyber Agency deals with similar things.
What a missile cannot do, it can do a cyber attack. India has faced major cyber attacks in the last few years. In this, the functioning of India’s PMO, some ministries and important departments have been affected. Cyber groups of China and Pakistan have been continuously attacking important installations of India.
It should be noted here that China has maintained five commands of its army. These five commands are – Ground Command, Navy, Airforce, Space Command and Cyber Warfare Command. All these commands have a lot of power. It is said that at present, China’s Cyber Command is the world’s most powerful cyber warfare command. If he ever attacks any country directly, then it will be really deadly.
It has also been feared for a long time that sectors related to India’s defence, energy, transport, power grid, strategic affairs are the target of cyber attackers. Not only can they do great damage, but if the attack is too strong, it can jam our entire system.
At present, the cyber attacks on important departments and important sectors of India are done by such groups related to Pakistan and China, which have the support of their army or government from somewhere. Due to this, we have suffered a lot of damage many times, as well as the blow to the credibility, so different.
In the last few years, the need for an agency capable of handling cyber attacks and cyber warfare was felt in India.
In fact, the effort towards it had started from the year 2011 itself. Then the Naresh Chandra Task Force was formed for this reason. The then National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon was particularly curious about this. A year later, a report was made in this regard, which was submitted to the Prime Minister. When Narendra Modi took over as the Prime Minister, it was immediately approved. Then the organising work began.
India-Russia’s Joint Exercise INDRA begins
Defence Cyber Agency Of India : On the initiative of the Government of India, many departments started preparations to form Cyber Warfare Command with the army. In May 2018, Rear Admiral Mohit Gupta was appointed its commander.
On 28 September 2018, the Defence Cyber Agency was formed in the country through the three wings of the army. In this, the help of experts from big IT institutes of the country was also taken. Then in November 2019, this cyber agency started working properly. With time it will get stronger.
The big institutions that played a role in this together with the army included the National Technical Research Organization working under RAW, Defense Intelligence Agency, National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Center, Indian Computer Emergency Research Team. All these teams work closely with some department of the Government of India and are considered knowledgeable in IT to cyber attack matters.
Around April last year, a two-day cyber maneuver was also conducted, which he had never done before. In this, India demonstrated its strength in the virtual world. Take stock of your inner strength. This cyber maneuver was named Cyborex.
Along with the three parts of the army, many big institutions of the country also participated in the cyber exercise. This included the National Security Council Secretariat, (NSCS), National Technical Research Organization (NTRO), Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, NIC and Computer Security Research Center (CSRC).
According to “The Week” magazine, the Defense Cyber Agency has unlimited rights. It can hack networks. Can perform surveillance operations, retrieve deleted data from hard drives and mobiles. If there is a secret communication channel running somewhere, it is capable of encrypting it.
At the same time, Defence Cyber Agency can get to the bottom of complex complex differences related to cyber and will also be able to solve complex problems related to it. Overall, it will work as an agency attached to the army, which will be fully capable of cyber warfare.
