Explanation

Section 70B provides that the Central Government appoints an agency called the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, which serves as the national agency for cyber incident response. The Appellate Tribunal hears appeals, and the Data Protection Board functions under the DPDP Act, 2023, so neither is the incident response agency.
