Union Secretary for Electronics and Information Technology (IT) S. Krishnan said on Monday (December 9, 2024) that as India’s Internet grows further, investments in reliability would be required.
Mr. Krishnan said the Internet infrastructure in the country would have to be “resilient, safe, secure, (and) withstand disruptions”. He was speaking at the India Internet Governance Forum (IIGF) 2024, the Indian prelude to the United Nations’ Internet Governance Forum, due to be held this month in Saudi Arabia.
Similarly, he said, the Indian Internet needed to be safeguarded from undersea cable cuts, by locating more critical data within India itself. “Are we stable within the country that all services within this country can be offered even in the event of a disruption?” he said.
