Delhi government to conduct cyber security audit of IT systems

The Delhi government will conduct a cyber security audit of its Information Technology (IT) system for the detection of vulnerabilities to prevent any breach of security and data theft.

The government has geared up for hiring a CERT-in (Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) empanelled agency for the three-year project, they said.

The officials said the hypertext transfer protocols (https) have become the easiest path for cyber attackers to intrude on a network, with growth in vulnerabilities in applications.
