Authors
Ashish Sharma, Savyasanchi Pandey
Abstract
India’s cybersecurity landscape is governed by a multifaceted legal
framework aimed at safeguarding critical information infrastructure, securing
data, and mitigating cyber threats. With increasing digitalization across sectors,
the demand for comprehensive cybersecurity regulations has intensified. Over
the past decade, authorities have introduced various legislative measures to
address emerging cyber risks. This paper examines the evolution of India’s
cybersecurity legal framework, emphasizing the primary legislation that
addresses cybercrimes, data privacy, and information security. It also provides
a comparative analysis of regulatory frameworks in the USA, EU, and India,
identifying significant gaps and weaknesses. The study finds that the current
legal framework remains suboptimal, with challenges related to coverage,
enforcement, and public awareness. Additionally, overlapping laws and
regulations often result in ambiguity and compliance difficulties for
stakeholders, underscoring the need for clarity and harmonization in
cybersecurity regulations.
