Cybersecurity, Digital Fraud & the New Public Safety Imperative (4)

Cybersecurity, Digital Fraud & the New Public Safety Imperative

The Problem Statement

India’s digital economy has grown faster than its fraud-prevention infrastructure. Maharashtra, as the country’s financial hub, is disproportionately affected.

Technology-Led Response

The state has:

  • Integrated banks, NBFCs, and cyber cells into real-time alert systems

  • Deployed AI-based fraud pattern recognition

  • Centralised cybercrime workflows through MahaCrimeOS AI

Why This Is Governance Innovation

Cybersecurity here is treated as:

  • A public infrastructure problem

  • Not merely a policing issue

  • Not outsourced blindly to vendors

This distinction is critical and rare.

Strategic Impact

Strong cyber frameworks:

  • Increase citizen trust in digital services

  • Protect fintech and startup ecosystems

  • Reduce systemic financial risk
