Software:Maya (operating system)

From HandWiki
Short description: Computer operating system based upon Ubuntu


Template:Infobox operating system Maya OS is an operating system developed by the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation in 2021 which was implemented after 15 August 2023.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] It is powered by an end point detection and protection system called "Chakravyuh" to act as barrier against online threats by foreign nations.

This strategic shift aims to protect sensitive defence system and data from cyberattacks while promoting indigenous innovation by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team and reducing dependence on foreign software.[8][9]

Name

Maya OS has been named after the Sanskrit word Maya (माया) which means "illusion". The name suggests that Maya OS can create deceptive layers of protection for the Defence ministry's computers, hiding them from cyberattacks.[10]

Development

The development of Maya OS began in 2021 when India faced several cyberattacks from foreign attackers that targeted its critical infrastructure and defence systems.[11]
