‘We must all take care to practise good cyber hygiene while using USB devices so that the risk to the vital IT systems functioning at AIIMS is kept to a minimum and viruses do not propagate throughout the AIIMS network,’ said AIIMS. If a user discovers suspicious files on a flash drive or notices strange behaviour on a computer, they must report the incident to the institute’s computer lab. To improve the cyber security of the institute, AIIMS has established a cyber security team made up of an interim chief information security officer, a consultant cyber security specialist, and other experts.
