Over 80% of Indian companies hit with cyber attacks last year.
A study has revealed that Indian organisations suffered million-dollar losses due to cyber attacks as 83% of them experienced at least one cybersecurity incident, like web attacks, phishing, and supply chain attacks, in the past year.
Cyber-attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and have become an increasingly important threat to companies in India. These attacks can be anything from data breaches to malware or ransomware attacks, to phishing attacks. All of these attacks can have serious consequences, including financial losses, stolen data, and reputational damage.
The report highlights the need for companies in India to take cyber security seriously. Companies need to invest in the latest cyber security technologies and ensure that their networks and systems are secure. They also need to ensure that their staff is adequately trained in cyber security and aware of the latest threats.
Additionally, companies need to ensure that they have adequate plans and procedures in place to respond to cyber-attacks. This includes having a robust incident response plan and a reliable incident response team.
The good news is that the Indian government is taking steps to improve the cyber security landscape in India. The government has set up the CERT-In to coordinate and respond to cyber-attacks, and is also investing in measures to improve the overall cyber security infrastructure.
It is clear that cyber security is an important issue in India and companies need to take it seriously. Companies need to invest in the latest cyber security technologies and ensure that their staff is adequately trained. They also need to have a robust incident response plan and an effective incident response team in place. With the right measures in place, companies can protect themselves from cyber-attacks and reduce the risk of data breaches.
