To counter cyberterror threats, the government plans to get cracking by
April a Cybersecurity Emergency Response Team (CERT) India which will
serve as a nodal agency for tracking cybercrimes across the country and
digging their origins. The CERT will look at the vulnerability of
government electronic sytems — e-governance, e-learning and e-security —
to threats from hackers and denial of service rights through cyber
techniques. The Prime Minister’s Office has already created five
committees to go into various security issues.
