National Cyber Security Policy? No thanks.

This week, India unveiled its National Cyber Security Policy, a document that reads very much like my first-year Engineering Mechanics exam; it’s 10 pages long, full of words that say nothing, and very likely primed for failure. The policy was launched at a press conference by the Human Firewall Kapil Sibal, and Milind Deora, who was there because unlike the rest of the UPA, he was invented after the computer. In an effort to stay with the times, this cyber policy was launched on paper, and is only available online as a scanned PDF copy with pen marks.
