The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 3 Mar 2021An expert report that cited a cyberattack as cause for the massive grid failure and blackout that hit Mumbai and adjoining areas on October 12 has been countered by Union Power Minister R K Singh. GoI has attributed the blackout to ‘human error’, not a hacking attempt. Whatever be the cause of that specific outage, shoring up cybersecurity is of critical import. With rapid digitisation, our vital installations, dam sluice-gate operations or financial markets, and even government accounts, are all vulnerable to cyberattacks, which are mostly anonymous and difficult to attribute to specific actors, either State, non-State, or both. In cyberspace, Advance Persistent Threats (APT) executed by anonymous hackers can often go unnoticed for long periods. Hence the need for proactive policy to resolutely address rising cyberthreats.
