Report flags India’s heightened susceptibility to cyberattacks, CBRN threats

India’s geopolitical vulnerabilities, growing industrial sector, and rapid urbanisation have heightened its susceptibility to cyberattacks and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) threats, said a report released on Monday, emphasising the urgent need to strengthen its CBRN security strategy.

The CBRN defence and mitigation measures report was unveiled at a PHDCCI conference.

“Strengthening the CBRN security strategy is increasingly urgent, especially as regional tensions escalate,” the report suggests, stating that border conflicts and evolving security threats from neighbouring countries raise the risk of CBRN warfare and proxy attacks, underscoring the need for enhanced preparedness and response.
