Cyber security has become a key part of India's national security framework as the country quickly goes digital. Asindustries including defence, banking, government, and infrastructure become more reliant on information andcommunication technologies, they also become more vulnerable than ever before. Cyber threats, such as statesponsored hacking and spying, financial fraud, ransomware, and disinformation operations, are a complicated andever-changing problem for India's internal stability and strategic independence. This article looks at the manydifferent types of cyber dangers that India faces and how cyberspace is a unique area of non-traditional security. Itlooks at the most important deficiencies in areas like energy, banking, healthcare, and defence, and it looks into howenemies use these weaknesses to hurt national interests. The report also looks at India's institutional and policyresponses, like the roles of CERT-In, NCIIPC, and forthcoming cyber laws, and compares them to the best practicesthroughout the world. The paper says that cyber security is no longer just a technical issue; it's a strategic necessitythat needs a broad, multi-stakeholder approach. It does this by looking at real-world events and strategicassessments. It suggests a full plan that includes changes to the law, improvements to technology, working togetherwith other countries, and making people more aware of the issue in order to establish strong cyber infrastructure. Inthe end, the study shows that India's national security policy needs to include cyber security at its core in order toprotect its sovereignty, economy, and democratic fabric in the digital age.
