New Delhi, September 6

The National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS) and the UK Government have conducted a specialised exercise to prevent cyberattacks on power supplies.

It is part of 26-nation International Counter Ransomware Initiative Resilience Working Group, which is being led by India under the leadership of the NCSC. The theme of the exercise is based on the energy sector in which the respective National Cyber Crisis Management Teams of the partner nations will have to deal with a ‘ransomware attack’ on multiple electricity distribution companies.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
