India has ranked tenth (10^th) in Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) 2020 by ITU (International Telecommunication Union) by moving up 37 places.

India’s Position

• India scored a total of 97.5 points from a possible maximum of 100 points, to make it to the tenth position worldwide in the GCI 2020.
• India secured the fourth position in the Asia Pacific region.
• India is emerging as a global IT superpower, asserting its digital sovereignty with firm measures to safeguard data privacy and online rights of citizens.
• The result shows substantial overall improvement and strengthening under all parameters of the cybersecurity domain.

Countries which topped the list

• The US topped (1^st), followed by the UK (United Kingdom) and Saudi Arabia tied on the second position together.
• Estonia was ranked third (3^rd) in the index.

What is the basis of the assessment?

• On the basis of performance on five parameters of cybersecurity, which are Legal measures, technical measures, organisational measures, capacity development, and cooperation.
• The performance is then aggregated into an overall score.

What are the challenges to cyber security in India?

• Deploying multiple cybersecurity tools reinforces a fragmented and complex security environment that is prone to risks arising from human error.
• Cybersecurity challenges companies face as they shift the majority of their employees to a remote working arrangement in a really short period of time.
• India lacks indigenization in hardware as well as software cybersecurity tools. This makes India’s cyberspace vulnerable to cyberattacks motivated by state and non-state actors. India doesn’t have an ‘active cyber defense’ like the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the US’ Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act.

What are the Efforts to Improve Cyber Security in India?

• National Cyber Security Strategy 2020: It is being formulated to improve cyber awareness and cybersecurity through more stringent audits.
• Draft Personal Data Protection Bill, 2018 (based on the recommendation of Justice BN Srikrishna Committee) to secure citizens’ data.
• The scheme to set up I4C (Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre) was approved in October 2018, to deal with all types of cybercrimes in a comprehensive and coordinated manner.
• National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) functions as the nodal agency for coordination of all cyber security efforts, emergency responses, and crisis management.
• Protection and resilience of critical information infrastructure with the set up of National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre (NCIIPC).

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consist of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. There is nothing like deep breath after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reason.

Happiness is not something ready made. Sometimes it comes from your own action. Stop counting your life by tears and start counting it by your smile.

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do and something to hope for but take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in hands of other people.

You can’t protect yourself from sadness without losing yourself in happiness because no medicine cures what happiness cannot. Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries and grudges.

Life is too short too be unhappy. Be grateful to the people who make you happy, there are the charming gardeners who make your souls blossom.

Success is getting what you want but happiness is wanting what you get. Stop comparing yourself to other people, just choose to be happy and live your own life. The best way to stay happy is to make others happy. Do not set aside your happiness. Do not wait to be happy in the future. The best time to he happy is always now.

If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in present…

There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that weeds. The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. Tears shed for another person are not a sign of weakness. They are the sign of a pure heart and the pain that it holds.

Some old wounds never truly heal and bleed again at the slightest words. Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear.

The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden. It is easy to say” My tooth is aching” than to say” My heart is broken”. Mostly the pain you feel now is the happiness you made before.

Waiting hurts. Forgetting also hurts. But not knowing which decision to take can sometimes be the most painful.

When you compare the pain of real life to the pleasure of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever. If you can learn to endure pain, you can survive anything ,some people learn to embrace it to love it.

Some endure it through drawing it in source or by making themselves forget, others turn it into anger. Pain is only what you allow it to be. Just like there is always time for pain, there is always time for healing.

You can take pain and turn it into something beautiful, into something that people connect to. And that is what good music does. It speaks to you . It changes you.

Time doesn’t heal emotional pain, you need to learn how to let go. Our pains are the openings of the best and most beautiful part of us.

In times of stress, the best thing you can do for yourself is to listen with your ears and heart and to be assured that your questions are just as important as your answers.

Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety and fear. Just when you feel you have no time to relax, know that this is the moment you most need to make time to relax.

The mind can go either directions under stress: towards positive or negative. Think of it like a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyper consciousness at the positive ends.

The way the mind will learn under stress is strongly influenced by training. Your body needs laughter of stress. The biggest enemy of willpower is stress. Self awareness, self care and remembering what matters most these three skills are the foundation for self control.

Your stress, anxieties, pains and problems arise because you don’t see the world, others or even yourself as worthy of love. Behind under stress is like being stranded in a body of water. If you panic,it will cause you to flail around so that the water rushes into your lungs and create further distress. Yet , by calmly collecting yourself and using controlled breathing you remain float with ease.

Stress is the trash of modern life ,we all generate it but if you don’t dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life…

Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on it their lives, they would not have the time to sit around and talk about you.

What is important to you is not others opinions of you but what is important to you is your opinion of yourself. Live the life of your dreams.

When you start living the life of your dreams, there will always be obstacles, doubters, mistakes and set backs along the way. But with hard work, perseverance and self belief there is no limit to what you can achieve.

Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution. If you think you can then you really can.

Everyone benefits from someone believing in them, because it helps them to believe in themselves but it doesn’t matter if thousands of people believe in you , unless you believe in you.

Until you believe in yourself nothing will be ,but the moment you believe in yourself everything will be. Your self belief is the magic mantra to get the strength to chase your dreams.

Lack of self confidence holds more people back than lack of opportunities. If you believe in yourself then you can do the impossible things possible.

There is more good in you than anything else. And you don’t see that because you are seeing everything else. To believe in one’s self is to take a worthwhile risk. The easiest way of making others believe in you is by believing in yourself.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF…
