Q&A and Summing Up by Moderator [1:00:30 – 1:29:37]

This is the second of a four-part webinar series on capability development for cyberspace operations by the Indian Armed Forces, held under the aegis of Current and Strategic Affairs Forum (CASA) and moderated by Lt Gen (Dr) R S Panwar. The first episode surveyed existing cyberspace strategies and organizations. This episode brainstorms the important issue of how to strike the right balance among the charters of major actors involved in defence of national cyberspace, namely, MOD/ armed forces, MEA/ external intelligence agencies, MHA and the private sector. It deliberates upon a fresh approach wherein the MOD/ Armed Forces are envisaged to play a pivotal role in the defence of national cyberspace, with perhaps exclusive charter for offensive cyber operations, in sync with their role in the traditional domains of land, sea and air. Panelists provide different perspectives on how India’s cyber defence architecture must be structured to optimally defend its cyberspace.
