During the first Foundation Day event of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), Union Home Minister Amit Shah underscored the crucial role of cybersecurity in national security and development.
He made it clear that no single institution can safeguard cyberspace alone. He stressed the need for all stakeholders to unite on a single platform and work in unison to protect cyberspace.

Mr. Shah highlighted the purpose of CFMC by stating the ideal brings the banks, financial institutions, telecom companies, Internet service providers, and police on a single platform. He also said that the biggest success of I4C is the 1930 national helpline number and the responsibility of all state governments and stakeholders to make it popular across the country.
