The Cyber Security Policy 2.0 has been released by the Tamil Nadu government.
The main aim of the policy is to protect the information assets of the government (infrastructure, software, citizen services).
It has listed steps for ensuring the protection of assets of the government through guidelines, and standard operating procedures (sop) for audit, compliance and monitoring of cyber threats and attacks.
It will develop a comprehensive security risk reduction strategy, establishing security capabilities and infrastructure for layered security of mission-critical systems and data.
The Cyber Security Policy 2.0 will supersede the Tamil Nadu Cyber Security Policy 2020.
The latest policy has incorporated inputs from the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M), and the Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency.
This policy has given the mandate to all state government departments to nominate officials to coordinate with the Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT).
