Inderveer Singh, intern working on the project "Cyber security and Cyber Terrorism" observes this shocking fact: The world may acknowledge India as an information technology superpower, but its very own official cyber security workforce comprises a mere 556 experts deployed in various government agencies. How “grossly inadequate” is India’s cyber security manpower can be gauged by the fact that China has 1.25 lakh experts, the U.S. 91,080 and Russia 7,300. The existing combined strength of cyber security experts in all organisations in the government domain is 556, which is grossly inadequate to handle cyber security activities in a meaningful and effective manner. India needs to engage more number of persons in cyber security training and create a strong workforce. (source: An IT superpower, India has just 556 cyber security experts, The Hindu, July 19, 2013 )
