The Government’s Cyber Security Strategy is Still in Early Stages
“After all, it’s not about the money,” said a senior Indian defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
While the government’s cybersecurity strategy is still in its early stages, it seems that the government has been preparing some of the important elements that will help to improve the country’s defense posture – in particular a “deepened” cybersecurity planning process and a “systematic” approach to the development of its own cybersecurity policies.
According to senior defense officials, the plans have been discussed internally in the government. But these have not become operational, and it has not been specified whether a draft cyber policy or other policies will be developed. While the National Security Council (NSC) has been working to develop policies on cybersecurity, the government has not been able to do so within the time frame given.
In the meantime, there are various types of cyber weapons available in the industry, and a broad range of potential threats and vulnerabilities that the government could face. The government is working on a policy and approach to cybersecurity, but has not been taking a long-term view.
In a recent interview with Mint, Director General of Information Security Intelligence, Ministry of Defense H. Bhusri said that the government must not be “obsessed by the issue and focus on the day-to-day issues and take a ‘snapshot’ at everything,” before the next phase of development is implemented. “Not at all. We must think beyond this one issue,” Bhusri said.
“We don’t have a policy yet. We don’t even understand the full scope of our threat. We don’t have a plan yet, except how to ensure our own country,” said another senior Indian defense official.
“We don’t have a strategy yet,” was the word that came out from the NSC this week when asked whether the Department of Defence has a cybersecurity policy and strategy.

Building a more robust and diverse cyber security workforce
This article provides a thorough grounding on the Cyber Security workforce needs of organizations, explaining the various roles and responsibilities of an Information Security professional and the unique challenges that the current workforce faces in an Information Security environment. It reviews the current best practices for building a more diverse Cyber Security workforce and also looks at some of the possible factors that could negatively impact the development of a more diverse Cyber Security workforce.
For the sake of simplicity, this article assumes that a cyber security professional is not a computer user. There are, however, many things that the information security professional must be aware of, such as, having the necessary skills, such as, IT skills, and having the necessary understanding, such as, understanding the IT security issues and the legal and ethical responsibilities of the information security professional.
Cyber crime is a complex phenomenon and requires a diverse set of skills and competencies that are in alignment with the IT system of an organization. Organizations must seek to find a combination of skills that are in alignment with the IT infrastructure of their organization and they must also seek to ensure that these skills are effectively managed and utilized throughout the organization.
There are a myriad of IT organizations within an organization that may not be in alignment with the actual needs of the organization and are not capable of appropriately managing their IT security workforce. This means that organizations that are in favor of diversity must maintain a robust and resilient cyber security workforce.
Incorporating a more diverse skillsets becomes imperative during the workforce development of a more diverse workforce. Even if there is only a small minority of a particular group of workers within an organization, it is imperative that such organizations develop and hire the appropriate skillsets to ensure they are able to successfully manage their IT security workforce. Such an environment is not only the right place for an organization to receive the requisite quality of employees, it is also the right place for organizations to create an environment that breeds the development of and a knowledge of the capabilities of an IT Security professional.
The following are a list of the key factors that organizations must have in place to incorporate a more diverse IT security workforce.
Develop an IT Security workforce that is a combination of two or three groups of people.
One of the key aspects of an IT Security professional is ensuring that there is a strong human element to the cyber security workforce.
The International Cybersecurity Sprint
The International Cybersecurity Sprint: The International Cybersecurity Sprint (ICSS) is an annual symposium hosted by The Washington State University (WSU) with a strong focus on information security challenges that impact the internet of things, smart phones and other connected devices. The ICSS is supported by WSU and the Association of Universities for Research in Information Assurance (AURAI).
The US Cybersecurity Summit (USCS) is an annual meeting of information security professionals, government officials, and the public within the US.
The United States Cybersecurity Summit was created by the U. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in response to the September 12 attacks on the US infrastructure. The summit is the third in a series, the first two being the Black Hat Briefings in 2012 and 2013 and this year’s CS Summit will be the first to showcase the importance of information security in cyber defense strategies.
The Cybersecurity Summit features a keynote address by DHS Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Rob Joyce, along with panel discussions, keynote speakers, and a large range of exhibits. The summit is made up of three tracks with three sessions being held per year.
The CS Summit runs from September 28 to October 3, 2016. As one of the most in-depth security discussions within the world, the CS Summit is the ideal place for networking with government agencies, private companies, and other information security professionals.
The Summit is free to attend and online at www.
