New Delhi, Sept 19 (ANI): National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval said the Centre is coming up with National Cyber-Security Strategy 2020 which envisions a safe, secure, trusted, resilient and vibrant cyberspace for India's prosperity. “The National Cyber Security Strategy 2020 has focussed on all areas of cybersecurity through its three pillars," Ajit Doval said. “There is a greater dependence on digital payment platform due to reduced cash handling and greater data sharing is happening online and presence on social media has also increased,” added National Security Advisor (NSA). “However, while we are able to manage our affairs to a certain extent, malicious actors also found in it, a new opportunity. We have witnessed an increase of 500 per cent in cybercrimes due to limited awareness and poor cyber hygiene,” he further said.
