Heightened Exposure In An Already Heightened Landscape
India’s digital governance landscape has evolved into one of the most ambitious in the world. With more than 1.4 billion digital identity holders through Aadhaar, 400+ government digital services under the Digital India Mission, and over 2,000+ citizen-facing apps, India’s eGovernance ecosystem is now a digital powerhouse driving inclusion and transparency across the country.
It is also an ecosystem that is coming increasingly under attack in recent times. During the period of Operation Sindoor, over 200,000 cyberattacks were attempted on Indian critical infrastructure within a week, with more than 75% of the claimed DDoS attacks directed at governmental organizations. These figures are indicative of a shifting threat landscape – while enterprises in this sector adopt cloud services, AI-enabled citizen apps, remote access platforms, and interlinked data systems, they also expose themselves to new vectors: API attacks, DDoS, credential theft, and website defacements from state-sponsored actors and hacktivist campaigns.
This scenario is adding uncertainty to an already complex digital governance landscape consisting of:
- Tighter Compliance – The upcoming DPDPA mandates strict obligations – with requirements like breach reporting within 72 hours, appointing data protection officers, and undertaking processes for data minimization. The repercussions of not following these rules are massive, with penalties up to ₹250 crores for failures.
- Proliferation Of Citizen Data – More government apps are collecting sensitive health, identification, and financial data. Public safety platforms, welfare distribution, and election rolls – all of these functions depend on large-scale proliferation of citizen data.
- Increased Public Delivery Touchpoints – Mechanisms and touchpoints like portals, mobile apps, grievance redressal systems, digital payments, etc., are heavily used, which increases exposure via external access points and dependencies on third-party infrastructure.
What is Cyber Resilience, and Why Is It Essential For Government Enterprises?
Most modern security solutions focus on taking a proactive rather than reactive approach, finding and snuffing attacks before they debilitate your organization. However, considering the volume of attacks government enterprises face in recent times, just having a proactive approach isn’t enough – your organization must possess cyber resilience.
Traditional firewalls and endpoint protection can defend against attacks, but cyber resilience ensures that even when an attack succeeds, critical public systems continue to function, recover quickly and preserve citizen trust. It’s a process that helps you move beyond protection to a holistic posture of preparedness, response and continuity.
Cyber resilience is built on 6 core elements that cascade onto one another to provide end-to-end resilience:
