Cyber Vigilance via Intellectual Diplomacy: Role of Indian Think Tanks in Promoting Cybersecurity
Cyber Vigilance via Intellectual Diplomacy: Role of Indian Think Tanks in Promoting Cybersecurity
By Ms. Antara Jha, Non-Resident Visiting Senior Fellow, CNSS
In cyberspace, India’s think tanks, intellectual hubs of policy innovation, have transformed
South Asia’s cyber threat response. Viewing digital challenges through India’s civilizational
lens, they craft robust cybersecurity frameworks to counter terrorism, radicalization, and
disinformation. As vanguards in this asymmetric arena, they develop preventive counternarratives, positioning India as a key player in global cyber diplomacy.
Indian think tanks are the unseen architects of national cybersecurity, addressing digital threats
like radicalization, coordination, and disinformation. Beyond safeguarding digital assets, they
shape South Asian cyber norms through intellectual diplomacy, bolstering India’s security,
regional stability, and global cyber governance. These cerebral sentinels convert tech
complexities into policy, build capacity, foster cooperation, and secure India’s digital future
