# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

3. About the Scheme
After launch of the National Health Mission (NHM), there
has been substantial increase in the number of institutional
deliveries.
However, this increase in the numbers has not resulted
into commensurate improvements in the key maternal and
new-born health indicators.
It is estimated that approximately 46% maternal deaths,
over 40% stillbirths and 40% newborn deaths take place
on the day of the delivery.
A transformational change in the processes related to the
care during the delivery, which essentially relates to intra-
partum and immediate postpartum care, is required to
achieve tangible results within short period of time.
‘LaQshya’ programme of the Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare aims at improving quality of care in labour room
and maternity Operation Theatre (OT).
4. Introduction
It’s a multipronged approach focused at Intra-
partum and immediate postpartum period.
Aim
To reduce preventable maternal and newborn
mortality, morbidity and stillbirths associated with
the care around delivery in Labour room and
Maternity Operation Theatre and ensure
respectful maternity care.
5. Objectives
To reduce maternal and newborn mortality &
morbidity due to APH, PPH, retained placenta,
preterm, preeclampsia & eclampsia,
obstructed labour, puerperal sepsis, newborn
asphyxia, and sepsis, etc.
To improve Quality of care during the delivery and
immediate post-partum care, stabilization of
complications and ensure timely referrals, and
enable an effective two-way follow-up system.
To enhance satisfaction of beneficiaries visiting
the health facilities and provide Respectful
Maternity Care (RMC) to all pregnant women
attending the public health facility.
6. Strategies
Reorganizing/aligning Labour room & Maternity
Operation Theatre layout and workflow as per ‘Labour
Room Standardization Guidelines’ and ‘Maternal &
Newborn Health Toolkit’ issued by the Ministry of
Health & Family Welfare, Government of India.
Ensuring that at least all government medical college
hospitals and high case- load district hospitals have
dedicated obstetric HDUs as per GoI ,MOHFW
Guidelines, for managing complicated pregnancies
that require life-saving critical care.
Ensuring strict adherence to clinical protocols for
management and stabilization of the complications
before referral to higher centres.
7. Scope of services
Following facilities would be taken under
LaQshya initiative on priority:
All government medical college hospitals.
All District Hospitals & equivalent healthy
facilities.
All designated FRUs and high case load CHCs
with over 100 deliveries/60 (per month) in hills
and desert areas.
8. Institutional Arrangement
Under the National Health Mission, the States have
been supported in creating Institutional framework for
the Quality Assurance – State Quality Assurance
Committee (SQAC), District Quality Assurance
Committee (DQAC), and Quality Team at the facility
level.
These committees will also support implementation of
LaQshya interventions.
For specific technical activities and program
management, special purpose groups have been
suggested, and these groups will be working towards
achievement of specific targets and program milestones
in close coordination with relevant structure.
9. Targets of the program

After 18 months, this initiative would be continued through
sustained mentoring.
13. Integration of Safe Delivery App
in LaQshya Safe Delivery Application is a mobile
based educational tool to improve the quality of
care around birth by empowering skilled birth
attendants on basic, emergency obstetric and
newborn care
SDA supports improvement of quality of clinical
care in LaQshya program by promoting self-
learning and acting as a ready reckoner to
supplement the skill based trainings like SBA,
Dakshata, NSSK etc.
15. Achievements & Outcomes
Capacity building is important step towards
LaQshya certification. A total of 1,920 health care
providers were trained on LaQshya across the 7
states.
Training on Quality Improvement and QI tools
was done in 57 % of these training batches.
Most states had separate training for Safe
Delivery App as it was introduced later, while
some incorporated the same in the ongoing
LaQshya trainings.
Nearly 2,000 health care providers have been
trained on SDA. (Table 8)
17. Outcome of project
Support to Aspirational Districts In the 7 Vriddhi supported states,
state support included district level focused support for 25
Aspirational districts (Jharkhand 19, Uttarakhand 2, Himachal
Pradesh 1, Punjab 2 and Haryana 1).
In Odisha and Chhattisgarh support was provided from state
level only. The project supported:
•Baseline assessment of prioritized facilities- 126 LRs and 102
maternity OTs in the ADs of 7 states.
• Mentored LaQshya facilities in the ADs regularly and provided
need based inputs provided - training, capacity building, and
support for documentation.
Outcome of the project support to medical colleges: 3 labor
rooms and 3 maternity OTs received state certification
Outcome: In the 45 Aspirational Districts of the 7 states 60 units -
35 labor rooms and 25 maternity OTs- received state
certifications. Of these, of these 25 LRs and 12 maternity OTs
have achieved national certification
20. Leveraging PIP FUNDS for
Sustaining Interventions
LaQshya Certification LaQshya certification is a
tangible outcome. All 7 project states have made
considerable progress towards it. In total there
have been 132 state certifications of LRs (78) and
OTs (54) in the project states. Out of these 86
have been National certified till September 2020
(LR – 51 and OT – 35). State wise details
LaQshya certification status is mentioned in Table
9.
22. Challenges & Learnings
The Common Challenges Included:
• Lack of stable leadership at state and district levels and
frequent change in the decision-making cadres slowed
down the implementation process.
• Over stretched state/district officers with multiple
responsibilities led to conflicting priorities at the state
and district level.
•LaQshya certification required infrastructure and equipment
as per quality standards. Timely procurement of equipment
and furnishings and infrastructure changes were a huge
challenge
Coordination between different departments (Maternal health
and Child health divisions; MH and State Quality division;
NHM and Medical Education and Research) was
challenging slowed down inter-departmental activities
towards a common goal
23. Infection Prevention Training
The project developed a standardized
presentation on Infection prevention practices.
Telephonic/online platforms were used to train the
labor room staff on Infection Prevention.
5149 providers were trained on Infection
Prevention from April 2020 – August 2020.
24. COVID-19 Module for Safe Delivery
App
Vriddhi project as a technical partner of
Maternity Foundation, provided support for the
development of the COVID-19 Module for Safe
Delivery App.
The COVID-19 Module was rolled out in the 7
states and orientation was given to staff of LRs in
Aspirational District and LaQshya facilities. 2115
users have enrolled as Learners for COVID-19
module in the Vriddhi supported states and 1886
have attained COVID-19 Expert level (As of
August 2020).
25. Client survey satisfactory report
Improving Client Experience in a Medical College
in Jharkhand Rajendra Institute of Medical
Sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand reported low scores
for availability and quality of food (3.66/5) in the
month of July 2019.
The facility conducted several rounds of
sensitisation meetings with kitchen staff and
catering vendors, and also informed the
appropriate authorities. And the score improved
to 4.28/5 in the month of November 2019.
