Who is responsible for national security

1. National Security Alert:

The entire country would likely be placed on high alert, especially airports, tech hubs (like Bengaluru, Hyderabad), and government institutions.

Security at critical infrastructure (data centers, ISRO, DRDO, nuclear plants) would be tightened.

2. Investigation by NIA & IB:

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) would lead the probe.

If foreign involvement is suspected, RAW would also be activated.

3. Digital Infrastructure Scrutiny:

If the crash is linked to Indian tech or digital systems, there would be:

Audits of aviation software.

Investigations into possible cyberattacks on flight

control systems or air traffic control.

📉 Impact on Indian Technology Sector

1. Cybersecurity Overhaul:

Major tech companies, especially those with aviation or defense ties, would immediately boost cybersecurity.

Government may issue emergency guidelines for critical digital infrastructure.

2. Investor Confidence:

Temporary dip in foreign investor confidence in Indian tech due to perceived vulnerabilities.

But long-term response might include more investments in cybersecurity startups.

3. Tech Diplomacy:

India may call for international cooperation on aviation cybersecurity.

Engage tech allies (e.g., US, Israel, France) for intelligence and protective technologies.

🧠 Final Thoughts

If a tech-based terrorist attack caused a plane crash, India would treat it as both a national and digital war threat, pushing the boundaries of defense beyond physical borders into cyberspace.
