TelecomLive April 2024

CII Summit www.telecomlive.com 50 TelecomLIVE April 2024 based attacks which the predators or bad actors are trying to do. The fourth area is 5G/6Gwhich is going to come and increase the surface attack. Also, with the speed at which transmission will happen and need to protect that from fast transmissionperspective. The other area is the legislation and regulations that are coming in. Everybody is talking about ethical use of tech whether it's AI or any other infrastructure that's where compliance need to be taken care of. So, DPDP is one such example of compliance but there are lot of other regulation which are coming in where the industry, government need to comply by. The last is the awareness which is a very key aspect. Unless we have the cyber hygiene and awareness among the stakeholders it's going to be very difficult to protect us from any of the cyber risk that are going to come in. Liberated and contextualized data is creating unprece- dented revelation of informa- tion to manufacturer and the industry Dilip Sawhney, Rockwell Automation Manufacturing has huge tech- nologies for decades. The problem was although that these technolo- gies like Thin layer chromatogra- phy (TLC) systems, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), the drive etc, which are the common place in the industry, generates awesome amount of data. The data was trapped and need to be liberated and that's what has started now. As d a t a g e t s l i b e r a t e d a n d contextualized, it is creating unprecedented visibility and reve- lation of information to the manu- facturer and the industry at large which is actually creating possibili- ties of game changing impact on competitiveness. It is important for manufactur- ing to transform itself. It is hard to believe that Indian economy becoming $5 trillion without a trillion strong manufacturing where manufacturing add $400- 450 billion. Therefore, you really need manufacturing go through that big transformational jump double in size in a very short period. It's easier said than done when you have 95 per cent manufacturers make up the manufacturing GDP MSME companies. Even harder to imagine as you have the global v a l u e c h a i n ( GVC ) g e t t i n g reformed as India gets more and more integrated into these GVC. Globalisation is very much here to stay and requirements around sustainability are already uponus. Looking at the complexity, if you because the advent of theDPDPBill which is an Act now. It will be hav- ing lot of issues because of the Per- sonal Identifiable Information (PII) getting out of hands, if that happen it will have huge penalties. IoT is protected enough not to leak information which is PII. Third is the human right area which is the ethical use of the tech, primarily things like face recognition hap- pening through smart cameras that also should not discriminate or identify people for themisuse. From the cyber space perspec- tive, the ransomware attacks which are happening. They can actually affect the firmware of the IoT devices. So, if somebody encrypts your IoT devices or the firmware then it's very difficult to decrypt it without lot of damage. The second is the edge based computing where the sensors, the gateways all is gone, get effected from the cyber perspective. The critical infrastruc- ture will get effected if we don't protect. The third area is AI, which is not today just the LLM, ChatGPT. AI can generate machine learning algorithms which can attack any surface whether it is IoT devices, infrastructure which is sitting behind or application. We need to have AI countering AI whichmeans to have enough AI models which should be able to counter the AI Amit Sharma Secretary, IT Administration of UT of Ladakh Prof. Ashutosh Sharma Former Secretary Ministry of Science & Technology and President, Indian National Science Academy Alok Gupta Chief Executive Officer Pyramid Cyber Security & Forensics Dilip Sawhney Managing Director – India Rockwell Automation
