Kaspersky reports targeted ransomware attacks on Indian businesses highlight need for enhanced cybersecurity measures.
In the first half of 2025, ransomware attacks on Indian businesses remained relatively low at 0.28%, as reported by Kaspersky, which attributes this to attackers targeting high-value organizations rather than conducting mass attacks. Indian organizations faced an average of 665 ransomware attempts daily throughout 2024, highlighting the increasing sophistication of AI-powered ransomware groups. Kaspersky emphasizes the urgent need for proactive cybersecurity measures, suggesting practices such as enabling ransomware protection, updating software, and utilizing advanced threat intelligence. The rise in ransomware tactics poses significant risks to India’s rapidly digitizing economy, underscoring the importance of robust cybersecurity strategies to safeguard critical sectors and maintain economic stability.
