The Union government was taking various measures to promote indigenization in cyber security, the defence sector and related areas, a senior official said here Saturday.

"The main point I want to say is, one of the best ways of dealing with cyber security is to have your own products. As long as we continue to have dependence on outside and given the level at which the testing technologies are far behind the abilities of people to insert malware, hardware intruders, the safest and the best way is to have your own products," Ajay Kumar, Secretary, Defence Production, said. He was speaking at the 'Technical Meet Aerospace Luminary Lecture Series', organised by the Aeronautical Society of India, Hyderabad branch Saturday night.
