India has dealt with the “worst crisis” in decades along its border with China with “firmness and maturity” despite facing the challenge of the coronavirus pandemic, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said on Thursday. In an address at a leading think-tank in Paris, Shringla mentioned two recent terrorist incidents in France, one of which he said had its origins in Pakistan, noting that the civilised world needs to act with firmness to address the threat of terrorism.

Shringla said India and France face similar non-traditional security threats in the form of radicalism and terrorism, and the fight today is not against specific communities or individuals but against a “radical politico-religious ideology”. Delving into major geo-strategic issues, he said the immediate challenges have not been able to distract India from broader strategic goals, especially in the Indo-Pacific Region where it is moving purposefully at multiple levels to create an “open, inclusive architecture”. Referring to cross border terrorism from Pakistan, the foreign secretary said India has continued to ward off the menace from its western border.

Shringla arrived here as part his week-long tour of France, Germany and the UK. “Despite the pandemic, we have dealt with the worst crisis in decades on our border with China and we have done so with firmness and maturity.

Airplane crash investigations can improve cybersecurity. Here's how

Additional measures would likely be required to make a cybersecurity safety board successful, such as launching investigations only for serious breaches like those involving critical infrastructure While some countries struggle with safety, U. S. airplane travel has lately had a remarkable safety record. In fact, from 2014 through 2017, there were no fatal commercial airline crashes in the U. S. But those years were fraught with other kinds of trouble: Security breaches and electronic espionage affected nearly every adult in the U. S., along with the power grid in Ukraine and the 2016 U. S. presidential campaign, to name a few. As a scholar of cybersecurity policy, I think it’s time that my own industry took some lessons from one of the safest high-tech transportation methods of the 21st century.
