政府机构可以得到防范网络攻击的保护
政府正在考虑为政府基础设施设置防火墙，至少在初期是这样，因为非国有实体，尤其是跨国公司，可能担心被监视。

孟买:政府正在考虑建立防御性防火墙，旨在保护支持国有银行和企业的数据服务器免受攻击网络攻击由犯罪分子和企图破坏印度关键机构的国家发起。这是继最近全球ransomware两名了解事态发展的人士说，这些攻击导致了数据破坏和勒索要求。“电子和信息技术部的一些高级成员出席了会议，并(网络安全Gulshan Rai，”其中一个人说。“会议上讨论了国家防火墙的利弊。”会议在六月召开后不久彼佳或PetWrap攻击。Rai和电子和信息技术部的科学家AK Garg没有回应记者的询问。
政府正在考虑为政府基础设施设置防火墙，至少在初期是这样，因为非国家实体，尤其是跨国公司，可能担心被监视。
这位知情人士说，过去两年针对政府基础设施的网络攻击有所增加。“国有企业、银行以及政府网站和服务器将首先受到国家防火墙的保护。”
专家们表示，这种防御措施将有助于保护许多可能没有准备好应对有组织、高水平攻击的印度公司。安永(EY)网络取证、数据分析合伙人阿米特•贾朱(Amit Jaju)表示:“印度需要的不仅仅是事后反应，而是针对网络攻击的主动监测和防御机制，无论是政府支持的还是黑客发起的。”
需要先发制人的行动
Jaju说:“许多发达国家以及中东国家已经在国家层面监测网络风险，并采取防御措施。”“国家防火墙可能是个好主意，因为它可以阻止攻击，过滤掉已知的网络风险来源。这也将有助于反应小组保护印度公司，并在攻击实际发生之前采取行动。”Petwrap据信是一种名为Petya的旧勒索软件的高级版本，攻击了世界各地的电脑，包括印度最大的集装箱港口贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁港口信托(Jawaharlal Nehru port Trust)的电脑。这是继Wannacry今年5月，勒索软件袭击导致电脑瘫痪。
他说:“在过去几年里，来自各国的网络攻击激增，虽然这些攻击是有计划的，但它们会抓住事件的机会，在那个时候发生。阿尔塔夫Halde他是俄罗斯网络安全和反病毒提供商卡巴斯基实验室南亚地区的总经理。“虽然防火墙可能能够提供一些保护，但我们使用的方式互联网在美国，攻击者可能会绕过这些保护措施，因此有一个多层次的保护非常重要。”

MUMBAI: The government is contemplating the establishment of a defensive firewall aimed at protecting data servers supporting state-owned banks and enterprises against cyberattacks<\/a> launched by criminals and countries seeking to undermine India\u2019s key institutions. This follows recent global ransomware<\/a> attacks that led to data destruction and blackmail demands, said two people aware of the development.\u201cA meeting was held which was attended by some senior members of ministry of electronics and information technology and (cyber security<\/a> chief) Gulshan Rai,\u201d said one of the persons. \u201cPros and cons of a national firewall were discussed at the meeting.\u201d The meeting was held in June soon after the Petya<\/a> or PetWrap<\/a> attacks. Rai and AK Garg, a scientist at the ministry of electronics and information technology, didn\u2019t respond to queries.
The government is looking at a firewall for government infrastructure, at least initially, since non-state entities, particularly multinationals, may be concerned about being watched.
<\/div><\/div>\u201cOne point which was raised in the meeting was mistrust of multinationals of such a firewall since their sensitive data could be monitored by a country,\u201d said the person cited above. Many multinational banks are sceptical about operating in countries where they fear data could be compromised.
Cyberattacks on government infrastructure have risen in the last two years, said the person. \u201cState-owned companies, banks and government websites and servers would first be protected by the national firewall.\u201d
Such a defence would help protect many Indian companies that may not be prepared for organised, high-level attacks, experts said. \u201cWhat India needs is not just a post-incident reaction but proactive monitoring and defence mechanisms against cyberattacks, whether state sponsored or by hackers,\u201d said Amit Jaju, partner, cyber forensics, data analytics, EY.
Pre-emptive action needed<\/strong>
\u201cMany developed countries as well as countries in the Middle East are already monitoring cyber risks at national level and taking defensive measures,\u201d said Jaju. \u201cA national firewall could be a good idea as it could stop attacks and filter out known sources of cyber risks. This will also facilitate a response team to protect Indian companies and take action before the attack actually happens.\u201d Petwrap, believed to be an advanced version of an old ransomware known as Petya, hit computers across the world including those at India\u2019s largest container port Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust. This was the second major ransomware attack after the Wannacry<\/a> ransomware raid that locked up computers in May.

This was the second major ransomware attack after the Wannacry<\/a> ransomware raid that locked up computers in May.
<\/div><\/div>Apart from ransomware and botnet attacks, the number of cyber strikes suspected to be sponsored by foreign governments has increased in the last few years, according to experts. For instance, hackers suspected to be based in China, managed to break into two of India\u2019s most prominent IT firms in 2015.
\u201cThere is a spike in the cyberattacks emanating from countries in the last few years, and while these attacks are planned, they take an opportunity of an incident and happen around that time,\u201d said Altaf Halde<\/a>, MD for South Asia at Kaspersky Lab, a Russian cyber security and anti-virus provider. \u201cWhile a firewall may be able to give some protection, but the way we use internet<\/a>, the attackers may be able to bypass these protections, and so it is important to have a multi-layered protection.\u201d <\/div><\/div>
