Abstract
Cyber security was seen a technical problem, but humans are players in every Cyber security attack-defense game. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive critical assessment of role of government in tackling and implementing cyber security policy in India. While the role of the government is to provide safe and secure cyberspace in the country to its citizens. However, this paper highlights the current policies and recommends future Cyber security policy for creating a robust framework for protecting the Indian Cyber Space from attackers. It also explains the current trends of cybercrime, types of crime in India and provides direction for future collaborative framework for Cyber security prevention.
