India's digital public infrastructure (DPI) has achieved world-class scale, but challenges relating to digital access, data governance, interoperability and cyber security remain areas of concern, Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran said on Friday.

The last great challenge of ensuring that those who most need services are also those who can most easily access them through digital means, that remains an ongoing effort," Nageswaran said.

"For the past two years, we observed that cyber threats were not limited only to the IT systems. They were pervading beyond IT systems, and the perpetrators were targeting more of the critical infrastructure'A lot of digital transformation, which has taken place in the last few years or so, has expanded the attack surface, and whenever the attack surface increases, it provides more opportunities for the attackers to come and cause disruption.
