Abstract
This article chronicles India’s cybersecurity and data privacy journey, from
the inception of the Information Technology Act in 2000 to the latest Digital
Personal Data Protection Act of 2023. Examining key legislative developments,
committee formations and judicial interventions, it highlights India’s commitment
to fortifying its cybersecurity framework. The topic is analysed in a substantially
analytical and qualitative manner, primarily based on literature, both primary and
secondary. It is descriptive and puts forth a case explanation of cyber security
in banking. In the face of escalating challenges in the digital era, the article con-
tributes to the discourse by addressing prevalent threats like deep fakes, existing
frameworks and innovative strategies for securing digital assets. Emphasising the
critical interplay of technology, governance and the legal framework, the arti-
cle underscores the imperative of robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard
citizens’ and government interests.
