As an economic power and pivotal regional player in Asia, India is home to the second-highest number of internet users of any country in the world. Its role in establishing norms in cyberspace, as well as how it approaches securing networks, could have a lasting impact on the security and freedom of the global internet for the years to come. The Cipher Brief spoke with Jonathan Reiber, a Senior Fellow at Berkeley’s Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity and former Chief Strategy Officer for Cyber Policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense under former Secretary Ashton B. Carter, about the status of India’s efforts to secure its digital networks and the cooperative relationship the United States and India are forging in this critical space.
