In the information age, Internet is the engine for global economic growth and the cyber security initiatives of any country should not impede it, instead these initiatives should create enablers for growth of the Internet and other technology innovations. Moreover, the battles in the future will probably be fought in cyberspace instead of on land or sea, with the targets being critical infrastructure such as dams and power grids. This has already been attempted in the past. Till date, more than thousands of websites have been defaced and millions infected systems have been detected in India. This makes it super important that India fortifies its critical infrastructure and evolves a mechanism that can be practically implemented in case of any cyber breach. And this is where the role of cyber warriors comes in.
