<h1>India's GST Launch Spurs Urgent Call for Enhanced Cybersecurity Measures; Businesses Must Fortify IT Systems Against Threats.</h1> As India prepares to implement the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from July 1, experts warn of increased cyber risks. The government and businesses are advised to strengthen their IT systems against potential threats such as data leaks and unauthorized data changes. The GST Network, handling data for 8 million taxpayers monthly, must ensure robust security measures against cyber attacks. Companies are encouraged to adopt new cybersecurity strategies and align their IT processes with business objectives to facilitate a smooth GST transition. Additionally, suppliers and buyers should evaluate the security practices of Application Service Providers and GST Suvidha Providers to mitigate risks.
