With the advancement of technology and cyberspace, basic principle of International law i.e. Sovereignty has been shaken up. Initially only users were leading over internet and therefore basic notion was that it is immune from sovereignty of state because of its cross-border nature. But in current scenario with the outburst in number of internet users, and various laws and regulations framed by different nations to govern cyber sovereignty and security of cyber data, cyber space is not wholly immune from state governance. Now a day Cyber security has become worldwide issue & is on the path to become top most security menace for all countries. As the internet user are growing day by day across the globe, states desired greater sovereignty over the cyberspace due to increase in number of cyber threats. This Research paper will discuss the concept of Sovereignty over Cyberspace, Challenges to Cyber Security and Indian position dealing with Cyber Security and Governance of Cyberspace.
