Students should understand institutions such as MeitY, CERT-In, CSIRT-Fin, cybersecurity frameworks, AI-based cyber risks, digital payment security, and national cyber resilience initiatives. The report also highlights the growing importance of public-private partnerships in strengthening India&#8217;s cyber ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Historical_Context\"><\/span>Historical Context<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evolution_of_Indias_Cybersecurity_Framework\"><\/span>Evolution of India&#8217;s Cybersecurity Framework<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India&#8217;s rapid digital transformation has significantly increased internet banking, UPI payments, fintech innovation, and online financial services. As cyber threats evolved alongside digital adoption, the Government strengthened institutional mechanisms by empowering CERT-In, sector-specific incident response teams, and cybersecurity regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first Digital Threat Report established a framework for identifying emerging cyber risks in the BFSI sector. The newly released second edition expands this effort by incorporating digital forensic research, adversarial AI analysis, and real-world cyber incident observations to improve sector-wide preparedness.
