Part 2/10:
Since 2018, the state government has prioritized establishing a robust cybersecurity infrastructure. Many states deploy data centers, Security Operations Centers (SOCs), and Centers of Excellence (COEs) to manage security. For West Bengal, the setup of a dedicated COE on cyber security marked a paradigm shift, facilitating ongoing research and development in cybersecurity practices.
This evolution recognizes that cybersecurity is not a static goal but a continuous process. There’s an increasing understanding that vulnerabilities—while inevitable—must be managed dynamically to prevent exploitation. The state's approach integrates industry best practices, focusing on prevention, detection, response, and recovery.
