The National Cyber Security Policy has been made. We are aware that when we enter the internet, there are serious security risks. We need to secure our sovereign data. So we have made an outline on how to protect against cyber crimes and cyber attacks. This is made to give confidence and assurance to stake holders, government organisations and businesses. First we must differentiate which information we can share and which we cannot. Education related information will always be shared. But personal, financial or banking related constitutes private data, which cannot be shared. We need the technology but we need the safety as well. We must protect our sovereign assets so we must raise questions like "what are our objectives in using the technology?" and "what strategies must we adopt to avoid outside interference? and "how to eliminate cyber attacks?" We must give this protection to all citizens, businesses and government organizations. How to operalinalize this policy on large scale is the question. Information empowers us, but it should not make us vulnerable. We do not want "snooping" or "hacking" on our data. Super powers cannot take advantage of us easily for we know what is in their mind.
