Haryana Government would spend about Rs 28.60 crore in three years to address the cyber security requirements of various departments and agencies in the state.
Under this, the Information Security Management Office (ISMO) established by the State Government would address requirements such as core Information Technology (IT) infrastructure for security management, security laboratory, Security Operations Centre (SOC), Continuous Vulnerability Management (CVM) and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) mechanisms.
A meeting of the State level Steering Committee - IT PRISM was presided over by Chief Secretary, DS Dhesi here in this regard.
During the meeting, approval was granted for the IT Plan of the Home Department, under which about Rs 2.36 crore would be spent on development and maintenance of IT infrastructure in the next five years. The implementation of the Plan would provide an online channel to avail the services of the Department, besides allowing applicants to check the status of their service requests online. It would also pave the way for developing online centralised repository of certificates and a unified database, said an official spokesman.
The Chief Secretary also directed the officers to use government e-mail for exchange of information.
It was informed in the meeting that Wi-Fi facility would soon be launched in Common Service Centres in 100 villages. As many as 79 villages have already been connected with National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) for this purpose, said the spokesman.
