CISF gears up for cyber, drone threats as security risks evolve

New Delhi: CISF Director General Praveer Ranjan on Monday highlighted the evolving nature of security challenges and the force's preparedness to address emerging threats. He said modern security concerns increasingly involve hybrid threats such as cyber attacks, digital sabotage, drones and other technology-driven risks.
