G20 Cyber Security Exercise and Drill

Shri Alkesh Kumar Sharma, the Secretary Ministry of Electronic and Information Technology (MeitY) inaugurated the G20 Cyber Security Exercise and Drill under India’s G20 Presidency.

Details :

The G20 Cyber Security Exercise and Drill was conducted in a hybrid mode by CERT-In (Indian Computer Emergency Response Team).

It was attended by international participants from over 12 countries via virtual mode while domestic participants attended in person as well as in online mode.

Cyber incidents are increasing rapidly, becoming more sophisticated and also having a transnational impact, so there is an urgent need to work collectively to build joint resilience to counter cyber attacks.

The programme highlighted the need for a whole-of-government response to counter cyber challenges including cooperation with LEA (Law Enforcement Agencies) at both national and international levels.
