DIA and NTRO to head offensive cyber warfare Wing of India

[Known_Unknown]

Do you think if I find a serious security hole and let us know how likely cooperate with me free of charge?

I don't think the Indian government will directly recruit foreign individuals for this type of job. However, if you're already working for a Russian company specialising in this field, you could try approaching CERT to see if they can give you a contract for research on vulnerabilities.

You can contact them using the following link:

If you go through Russian government sources, you will probably have more luck.

The real problem is us, Indians. We are always reactive and respond only when something big has gone down. Unfortunately in thecyber domain, there might not be a second chance if all critical networks are taken out in a coordinated offensive. If our satellite uplink/downlink capabilities and links to the undersea cable grid are crippled we wont get a chance to take offensive retaliatory action, and it would be too late for a defensive action. We need to get rid of this disgraceful lethargy that is drowning the national security consciousness

IT Roadmap of The Defence Sector

The Information Technology (IT) Roadmap of Defence is in sync with contemporary technologies being used by advanced nations and aligned to the Digital India roadmap. Continuous steps are being taken by the Defence Services to remain updated on Information Technology and incorporate the latest technology in the ongoing projects. The Defence Services have promulgated ICT Roadmap incorporating 21 Information Technology projects during the period 2016-2020 in October 2016. The Roadmap includes ongoing and future tri-services ICT projects leading to effective use of ICT in areas such as Network Centric Operations, Information Security, Planning, Stores Management, General Administration and Hospital Management. Out of 21 projects envisaged to be completed by 2020, four have already been completed. As part of the roadmap, the Defence Communication Network (DCN) has been operationalized in July 2016. Further, under Network for Spectrum project, optical fiber is being laid to provide a dedicated backbone communication and IT network connecting stations of Army, Navy and Air Force.



Bi-annual meetings of the Defence Information Technology Consultative Committee (DITCC) are held under the Chairmanship of RakshaRajyaMantri with the objective of monitoring the progress of IT implementation and e-governance in the three Services and Inter-Services organisations in a coordinated manner and resolving inter-organization issues that may arise during implementation. Regular interactions are also carried out with academia and industry to obtain contemporary solutions.
