Correct Answer:
Option C —
Coordinating with international private cyber agencies
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) is the national nodal agency for responding to computer security incidents. It was established under the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008, specifically under Section 70B.According to the Act, the primary functions of CERT-In are:
Collection, analysis, and dissemination of information on cyber incidents.
Forecasting and alerting of cybersecurity incidents.
Emergency measures for handling cybersecurity incidents.
Coordination of cyber incident response activities.
Issue of guidelines, advisories, vulnerability notes, and whitepapers relating to information security practices, procedures, prevention, and response.
Why Option C is incorrect:
While CERT-In does collaborate with international entities, its primary mandate for "coordination" is defined at the national level among domestic agencies. International cooperation usually happens through formal Government-to-Government (G2G) channels or specific Treaties/Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) involving the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), rather than a broad mandate to coordinate directly with private international agencies.
