A big step towards protection of critical information infrastructure of the country


As Centre Director of National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre (NCIIPC), I had worked on the guidelines for protection of  Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP).
It is heartening to note that these guidelines have now been finalized by the Joint Working Group (JWG). The JWG was chaired by Associate Director of IISc, Bangalore, N. Balakrishnan and included Chairman, FICCI Communication and Digital Economy Committee, Virat Bhatia, former President, NASSCOM, and Chairman, CII National Telecom Committee, Kiran Karnik and me as the member secretary. The first version of the guidelines was released by National Security Adviser to Prime Minister,  Shri Shivshankar Menon.

  2. A lot of time and resources were invested by us in bringing out this Magnum Opus of a document. Unless NCIIPC is notified and allowed to impliment the guidelines, the initial steam would be off.
