The Narendra Modi government is revamping India’s cybersecurity policy in early 2020. The new policy targets growing security and economic challenges posed by the internet, particularly cyberattacks on both government and businesses. The quickening pace of digitisation across the economy covering existing and new sectors makes this announcement timely. A new policy should improve institutional functioning around cyber issues, ironing out details related to cyber coordination and accountability.
