This paper explores various cyber security concerns from India’s perspective. With rising data communication among devices and cloud based information for fast and dynamic response, the multitude and magnitude of cyber vulnerability against attacks are also aggravating. India which happens to be a strategic nation with various geopolitical foes and friends, the propensity of cyber attack against India’s power system cannot be discounted.
