India must firewall all strategic establishments: Arun Shourie

The senior BJP leader stresses that India is lagging behind in defending itself in cyber warfare

Stressing that India is lagging behind in defending itself in cyber warfare, senior BJP leader and former union minister Arun Shourie today said India must firewall all its strategic establishments.

"The sad part is that the government's initiative to firewall important establishments is still lingering where it was ten years ago," Shourie said at a programme here.

He said Chinese hackers had intruded upon the personal computer of the Dalai Lama and there have been cyber attacks targeted upon the US and European countries besides India.
