Strategy 2020 Security of Small and Medium Businesses (SMB): The sector is seeing an increasing move to online and digital. There is a thrust on ERP implementation, urge to leverage e-commerce wave, and transition to GST. Moreover, it is going through digitization of payments, cloudification, and industrialization 4.0 at a rapid pace. Without focusing on security, it would hamper digitization, weaken supply-chain, disrupt the objective of promotion of SMB and associated Make-in-India possibilities. • Ensuring evaluation of SMB sectors and their role in the supply chain in the technologies is important for economic and strategic interests to ascertain priority sectors and type of work • Keeping watch on the digitization of SMB sectors, levers and vehicles working for it, adoption of technology and devices by them, and their exposures to threats • Promoting cybersecurity and privacy awareness in targeted campaign with SMB using relevant levers and vehicles • Policy intervention to bring attention to cybersecurity in the sector, such as below: o Procurement incentives for a higher level of cybersecurity preparedness o Grant/subsidy for investment in the cybersecurity o Development of cyber insurance products o Driving line ministries, MSME development initiatives (state and central level), and industry bodies to take cybersecurity on the agenda o Reporting of cybersecurity preparedness and breaches • Promoting technical standards, frameworks, and reference architectures for the adoption of IoT and industrialization 4.0 for enhanced cybersecurity, privacy, and safety • Developing assurance framework that relies on self-certification and third-party certification depending on the sensitivity level • Promotion of development of cybersecurity technologies targeted at the SMB sector Advanced Technology [5G, wireless, cloud, mobility, IoT, AI/ML, robotics, AR/VR, hardware/semiconductor, HPC and Quantum Computing, DLT, UAV, SDI & material science]: Technology transformations and breakthroughs poised to bring an entirely new paradigm for cybersecurity. Many listed here would bring immediate challenges, while some would start shaping cybersecurity discussion in the long term. The national cybersecurity strategy 2020, envisioned for the five years, should lay down options to deal with the technology transformations. • [Future Casting 1] Investing in the work of forecasting technology, their likely role in shaping society, industry, businesses, and economy.
