GUWAHATI: A cyber security policy is being framed by the Assam government to protect vital data and institutions, particularly those related to the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
According to a report by Money Control, the state government has asked for suggestions on a draft by September 30 and once the suggestions are approved, the policy will be operative for five years.
This policy would help to protect crucial government infrastructure from hacking and manipulation.
In addition, the government hopes that the policy will be able to identify, analyse, protect and build capabilities to prevent and respond to cyber threats.
This policy will also help to promote emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and machine learning for ensuring cybersecurity in the state.
