Cyber warfare is a modern form of conflict conducted through computers, involving attacks that can disrupt state functions without human involvement. It encompasses activities such as cyber espionage and propagandistic assaults, where hackers can initiate attacks remotely. Various international and Indian laws, like the Information Technology Act of 2000 and the National Cyber Security Act of 2013, aim to regulate and manage cyber warfare, highlighting the need for more cyber experts in India to bolster defenses.
