Due to rapid proliferation of information technology (IT) and its direct impact on the functioning of an organization, IT and its functional ecosystems can no longer be viewed in isolation. Proliferation of IT has its flipside too; that of induced vulnerability to threat of cyber crimes. Hence it has become organizationally imperative to safeguard the official cyber space from nefarious cyber crimes keeping the overall threat in perspective.
The International Organization for Standardization defines cybersecurity or cyberspace security as the preservation of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information in the Cyberspace. In turn, “the Cyberspace” is defined as “the complex environment resulting from the interaction of people, software and services on the Internet by means of technology devices and networks connected to it, which does not exist in any physical form.”
DGAQA has taken pro-active approach to safeguard the Cyber Space in organisation. Three documents have been prepared by the Information Technology Group and circulated to the Field Establishments and Detachments for the compliance.
1. Cyber Security Policy
2. Cyber Crises Management Plan
3. Cyber Security Framework
