In an effort to bolster cyber resilience, the Army Cyber Group has conducted a comprehensive cybersecurity awareness and training program aimed at personnel of the Sapta Shakti Command.
The session was dedicated to increasing understanding of the swiftly changing cyber threat environment, providing soldiers with the necessary knowledge and skills to protect themselves and their organization from harmful online activities.
| Key Focus Areas of Training |

The training program featured real-world case studies and interactive demonstrations to stress the importance of responsible digital behavior. Participants were reminded that cyber security is as vital as physical security for protecting national defense systems.
At the end of the program, personnel pledged to maintain cyber vigilance, committing to safe online practices in their professional and personal lives. This pledge aligns with the Army's goal of fostering a cyber-aware force capable of countering both traditional and unconventional threats effectively.
By embedding cyber awareness into everyday activities, the Indian Army aims to establish a robust defense against cyber espionage, misinformation campaigns, and digital intrusions that could compromise operational readiness.
This initiative underscores the Army's commitment to capacity building, awareness enhancement, and the adoption of best practices in cyber hygiene, ensuring that soldiers stay ahead in the digital arena while carrying out their duties.
