India has reached Tier 1 in the Global Cyber Security Index 2024.
India has jumped to Tier 1 in the 2024 Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI), released by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), for its exemplary role-modeling in cybersecurity commitments and impacts.
The ‘GCI 2024’ used a new five-level analysis, a change that allows for a greater focus on each country’s progress with cybersecurity commitments.
According to the report, 46 nations are ranked in Tier 1, the highest of the five categories, which is reserved for “role modelling” nations that exhibit a strong commitment to each of the five cybersecurity pillars.
India ranked highest in adopting measures such as legal, technical, capacity development, and cooperation as relative strong areas.
Organisational measures were listed as areas of potential development for the country.
ITU cybersecurity projects and programmes are supporting national efforts to manage cyber threats more effectively.
