In 2025, Indian organizations are facing an alarming average of over 2,000 cyberattacks per week per entity, significantly higher than the global average of 1,657, with the education sector experiencing peaks of up to 9,800 attacks weekly. This surge reflects a broader trend of escalating cyber threats, with reported incidents rising from 1.03 million in 2022 to 2.27 million in 2024, driven by sophisticated phishing, infostealer malware, and ransomware tactics. Cloud misconfigurations are a critical vulnerability, accounting for a substantial share of breaches, while the shift towards extortion models in ransomware signifies a troubling evolution in cybercrime. The data underscores the urgent need for India to enhance its cybersecurity measures as its digital ambitions expand, emphasizing the integration of robust security frameworks into national infrastructure and economic resilience. With attackers increasingly employing AI-driven tactics, India must adapt by adopting comprehensive security strategies that prioritize identity protection and proactive threat detection to safeguard its rapidly digitizing landscape.
