India is quietly preparing a cyber warfare unit to fight a new kind of enemy
The government is finally reacting to the threat with a plan to create a new tri-service agency for cyber warfare. The Defence Cyber Agency will work in coordination with the National Cyber Security Advisor. It will have more than 1,000 experts who will be distributed into a number of formations of the Army, Navy and IAF.
According to reports, the new Defence Cyber Agency will have both offensive and defensive capacity.
The Defence Cyber Agency is seen as a precursor of of a cyber command.
