India's 'digital' power system to undergo countrywide cyber security audit

India’s power distribution and generation system, which is being digitised by the government, is set to see a countrywide $4 audit so that hacking in state grids and plants can be prevented.

It was last week that state energy ministers held a conference piloted by Union power minister $4. All the participants then had agreed to the regular audits of their $4. These audits would be done by agencies empanelled by the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), government's cyber warrior belonging to the Department of Information Technology.

Other than audits, $4 had also agreed to conduct mock drills simulating disasters and hackings so that they can test their preparation for reviving downed systems.

A chief information security officer was also agreed to be nominated by the states, which indicates that $4 acknowledge cyber threats and the need to take them seriously.
