Cybersecurity has become a pressing concern for India as the country witnessed over 265 million cyberattacks in 2025 — the highest ever recorded. The majority of these attacks targeted financial services, government networks, and small businesses. Experts attribute this rise to increasing digital adoption and the proliferation of connected devices across industries.
In response, both private and public sectors are ramping up their cybersecurity investments. Companies are deploying AI-powered defense mechanisms, adopting zero-trust frameworks, and training employees to recognize phishing and ransomware threats. The government is also reviewing data protection laws to strengthen digital safety and encourage responsible cybersecurity practices among citizens.
