In order to combat the use of the internet for terrorist, separatist, and extremist purposes, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) organized a joint anti-terrorism exercise. The goal of the exercise, which India hosted in New Delhi, was to strengthen member state collaboration within the SCO in detecting and combating the illicit use of the internet. The exercise was centered on sharing best practices for gathering digital evidence, preventing the use of digital assets to finance terrorism, and improving the ability to respond to cyberattacks on vital infrastructure. The exercise was regarded as a critical step in enhancing the SCO's capacity to combat terrorism. The Indian National Security Council Secretariat held a seminar on preventing terrorists, separatists, and extremists from abusing the internet prior to the exercise.
