Cyber unit for defence issues on the anvil

 Defence Minister A K Antony has said that a separate cyber unit will be formed for the armed forces to counter threats from cyber space.

“A formalised architecture for cyber defence in the armed forces is on its way,” the defence minister said in an informal interaction with journalists at the Indian Naval Academy (INA), Ezhimala, in Kannur district.

Antony was at the academy for the passing out parade of the first batch of 60 Navy cadets who underwent a B.Tech course along with 242 other cadets of the Navy and the Coast Guard who have completed other courses.
