#Cybersecurity has become more than a technological concern. Because the cybersecurity professional’s role now touches disciplines throughout a business, everyone with responsibility for cybersecurity requires training that spans IT, cybersecurity frameworks, business and interpersonal skills. The increasing Geo-political conflict triggers an increase in cyberattacks and the rise of ‘disruption and destruction’ malware.

According to Research and Markets, the global big data market is expected to reach Rs 34,943.77 Billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of around 12.81 percent making data as an influential factor in business and economies around the world. Out of this, the valuation is expected to reach Rs 558.24 Billion in India by 2027, making it one of the top 10 markets for data and analytics.


The increasing volume of data management and analysis in addition to the advances in technology add reasons to examine why cybersecurity is critical and how to ensure we stay ahead of cyberthreats.

India is especially vulnerable having faced 18 million cyber-attacks in just the first quarter of 2022.

Education and Research remain the most targeted sector, but attacks on the healthcare sector registered a 74% increase year-on-year. There is increasing Hacktivism - #Ransomware Extortion and Cloud Third Party Threat in the country.
