New Delhi: India has jumped to Tier 1 in the Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) 2024, released by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), when it comes to role-modelling as part of the country\u2019s cybersecurity commitments and resulting impacts.<\/p>\n
The \u2018GCI 2024\u2019 used a new five-tier analysis, a shift that allows a greater focus on each country\u2019s advances with cybersecurity commitments.<\/p>\n
The report placed 46 countries in Tier 1, the highest of the five tiers, reserved for \u201crole modelling\u201d countries that demonstrate a strong commitment in all five cybersecurity pillars.<\/p>\n
India topped the chart for adopting measures like legal, technical, capacity development and cooperation as areas of relative strength. Organisational measures was a listed as an area of potential growth for the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Global Cybersecurity Index 2024 shows significant improvements by countries that are implementing essential legal measures, plans, capacity building initiatives, and cooperation frameworks especially in strengthening incident response capabilities,\u201d said Cosmas Luckyson Zavazava, Director of ITU\u2019s Telecommunication Development Bureau.<\/p>\n
\u201cITU\u2019s cybersecurity projects and programmes are supporting those national efforts to more effectively manage cyberthreats,\u201d Zavazava added.<\/p>\n
Worrisome threats highlighted in the report included ransomware attacks targeting government services and other sectors, cyber breaches affecting core industries, costly system outages, and breaches of privacy for individuals and organisations.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding trust in the digital world is paramount,\u201d said Doreen Bogdan-Martin, ITU Secretary-General. \u201cThe progress seen in the Global Cybersecurity Index is a sign that we must continue to focus efforts to ensure that everyone, everywhere can safely and securely manage cyberthreats in today\u2019s increasingly complex digital landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n
Most countries are either \u201cestablishing\u201d (Tier 3) or \u201cevolving\u201d (Tier 4) in terms of cybersecurity. The 105 countries in these tiers have largely expanded digital services and connectivity but still need to integrate cybersecurity measures.<\/p>\n
A \u201ccybercapacity gap\u201d \u2013 characterised by limitations in skills, staffing, equipment and funding \u2013 was evident in many countries and across all regional groups, according to the report.<\/p>\n
Legal measures are the strongest cybersecurity pillar for most countries: 177 countries have at least one regulation on either personal data protection, privacy protection, or breach notification in force or in progress, it added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
