Shri Kapil Sibal, Union Minister for Communications and IT released the National Cyber Security Policy, here today. Speaking on the occasion, he underlined that this policy should be seen as about protecting of information, such as personal information, financial/banking information, sovereign data etc. He said that information empowers, and in order to empower people with information, we need to secure the information/data. He also flagged the need to distinguish between data which can freely flow and data which needs to be protected.
Shri Sibal pointed out that the real challenge is in the operationalisation of this policy. He also stated that the government, through incentives and subsidies will need to support Small and Medium Enterprises for accessing the technology to make their systems safe. He also called on businesses to set aside finances for keeping themselves safe in cyber space.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister of state for Communications and IT, Shri Milind Deora congratulated all stakeholders and especially officers in the department who worked towards the formulation of the policy. He underlined that this policy will help protect our sovereign assets.

I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m
