India has officially kicked off Bharat NCX 2025, its largest national cybersecurity exercise to date, aimed at strengthening cyber preparedness across critical sectors including defence, power, transport, and finance.Organized under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and coordinated by CERT-In, this strategic drill focuses on:

• Live-fire attack simulations on real-time IT/OT infrastructure
• AI-based threat response testing and adversarial model handling
• Red vs. Blue team cyber warfare across state and enterprise systems
• CISO-level crisis decision-making simulations

🎯 Why It Matters

In the age of AI-powered cyberattacks, supply chain breaches, and nation-state threat actors, exercises like Bharat NCX 2025 are no longer optional—they are essential.This exercise:

• Trains over 200 entities, including government ministries, defence labs, private tech firms, and CERT teams
• Helps develop zero-day response tactics under pressure
• Builds inter-agency communication pipelines for real-time coordination
• Enhances resilience across critical infrastructure sectors
