Google Cloud & CERT-In Under MeitY Partners

Current Context: Google Cloud and CERT-In, which is the computer emergency response unit under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), have partnered to train government officials in cyber security skills.

They aim to create a ‘cyber force’ of 1,000 officials who will learn how to defend against cyber threats, use generative AI, and conduct cybersecurity AI hackathons.
Google Cloud will also provide 100,000 cybersecurity certificate scholarships to learners who want to pursue a career in this field.
This partnership is expected to enhance the cybersecurity capabilities of India and foster collaborations to deliver new safe and secure services for Indians.
