# Secure Government Networks New Delhi is Testing a Network for Secure Internal Communication By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-12-15 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/government-network References: [timesofindia.indiatimes](http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/Secure-network-for-intra-government-communication-in-the-works/articleshow/50108146.cms) In response to the fact that more than 800 government websites have been hacked in the last four years, the New Delhi government is testing and installing a secure government network for internal communication. The Secure and Dedicated Communication Network (SDCN) is specifically tailored for intra-government communication, which will protect the information on more than 5,000 secured phones. While the project began as one central to New Delhi, communications and IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has announced an expansion that will include more than 20,000 users across the entire country. As personal devices are equipped with better storage and memory features, it's becoming increasingly important for organizations, businesses and governments to protect themselves against threats from cybercriminals. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Regional](https://www.trendhunter.com/regional) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Secure Government Networks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Development of advanced encryption and communication technologies to safeguard government information. - **Intra-government Communication:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creation of efficient and user-friendly platforms for secure communication within government agencies. - **Cybersecurity for Government Organizations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implementation of cutting-edge cybersecurity measures to counter cyber threats and protect government networks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Government Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Advancement of secure communication networks and technologies specifically designed for government agencies. - **Cybersecurity:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Development of innovative cybersecurity solutions tailored for government organizations. - **Information Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integration of advanced encryption and data protection technologies into IT infrastructure for enhanced security. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Secure Gateway Connectivity Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deeper-connect-pico.md) - [Dynamic Security Networking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesh-networking-systems.md) - [Enterprise-Ready Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-s23-enterprise-edition.md) - [Sophisticated Cybersecurity Protocols](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-cybersecurity-protocols.md) - [Innovative Network Security Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ngpans.md) - [Web3 Cybersecurity Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hong-kong-1.md) - [Secure Network Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axis-communications.md) - [Security-Focused eSIMs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-trust-sim.md) - [Cybersecurity Simulation Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-city-defender.md)
