India must build strong and reliable software and hardware systems that can keep working even during cyberattacks. This resilience is important to support daily life and make it easier to do business as the country becomes more digital, said S. Krishnan, Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), on Monday.
"We have to ensure that overall digital governance, including AI governance, accords due primacy to both cyber security and operational resilience. Ultimately, we have to create resilient systems, both in terms of software and hardware, which can continue to operate despite the cybersecurity threats, because that is where the crux of ease of living and ease of doing business lies," Krishnan said while addressing the launch of the Digital Threat Report 2025-26: From Frontline Intelligence to Collective Foresight.
