In a rapidly changing technology scenario, threat perception has shifted from conventional border and economic issues to cyber platform, prompting the need for India to develop a "robust" and "trusted platform" to counter these new age security threats, a top official said.

"Once upon a time people used to be worried only about the border issues and things like that. But more than that we have been graduating today from border issues to economic issues, from economic issues, we are going to cyber issues," V K Saraswat, Scientific Advisor to the Defence Minister, told reporters at the ongoing Aero India show here.

"The old disputes continue to remain and the new disputes are going to evolve much more vigorously because of the technology which all of us are using today...It is a network centric technology...dependent on communication, which is dependent on information technology...so we are going to have problem on cyber security," he said.

"We have to remain more vigilant on cyber aspect and built systems which are robust...We have to have platforms which are trusted...our own software which will make sure that software network becomes almost invincible," Saraswat said.

His comments came against the backdrop of reports of a cyber attack faced by Iran on its nuclear installation.
