According to The Indian Express report, the Indian Ministry of Defense plans to implement a new round of major reforms and all networked PCs used by the system to abandon Windows, instead of Ubuntu-based self-study Maya OS.
Citing the media report, Maya OS is close to Windows in terms of user interface and interactive experience, which will speed up the migration of its staff.
In addition, Maya OS comes with built-in anti-malware and anti-virus software called Chakravyuh, which creates a virtual layer between the user and the Internet, preventing hackers from accessing sensitive data.
With reports that India has been hit by a number of major security incidents over the past few years, including a nuclear power plant security incident in 2019, India’s defence ministry believes it can reduce malware attacks after switching to a homegrown, Ubuntu-based version.
Reports claim that Indian software companies and academic institutions have collaborated to test and improve the operating system, and after a six-month trial, the Indian Navy has approved its use and the Army and Air Force are currently evaluating it.
