Karnataka Now Has A New Cyber Security Policy
Computer security is the protection of computer systems and networks from threats that may result in unauthorized information disclosure, theft of hardware, software, or data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. Karnataka has unveiled the Cyber Security Policy, 2024, to combat rising cybercrimes, increase awareness, build skills, boost public-private collaboration and to deploy technologies to protect all digital infrastructure owned by the State and citizens.
Priyank Kharge, Minister for Rural Development, Panchayat Raj and IT and Biotechnology, said the State government had set aside ₹103.87 crore for the next five years to implement the Cyber Security Policy. This would be met through the budgetary allocation of the Department of IT, BT and Science and Technology, he said.
This policy has been collaboratively drafted by the Department of Electronics, IT, BT and S&T, the department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (e-Governance), and the Home Department, in consultation with relevant stakeholders from both the government and private sectors. The policy was also reviewed by the Indian Institute of Science, which is the anchor institute for the state’s K-tech Centre of Excellence for Cyber Security (CySecK).
