Every cybersecurity vendor in India has a 24/7 SOC right now. Every single one. They all use AI. They all have compliance frameworks. They all have case studies. The sales experience has become so uniform that by the third vendor presentation you’ve sat through, you can finish their slides for them. Which means the pitch...
The assumption that trips up most organisations isn’t that cloud is insecure. It’s that because the cloud provider is a massive, well-resourced company, they’re handling the security problem. They’re not. Not the part that matters for your data. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud are responsible for the physical datacentre, the virtualisation layer, the network fabric....
Here’s something that comes up in breach investigations more often than it should: the company had run a vulnerability scan six weeks earlier. Came back clean. They felt good about it. The attacker used a logic flaw in the application’s password reset flow that no scanner would ever catch. Automated scanning finds what it’s been...
Three weeks. That’s how long attackers typically sit inside a network before anyone notices. Not three hours. Three weeks — sometimes longer. They’re not making noise. They’re just watching. Figuring out where the valuable stuff is, who has access to what, whether anyone’s paying attention. By the time an alert fires, the damage is usually...
Cloud adoption in India has accelerated faster than most organisations’ ability to secure what they’re building. That’s not a criticism — it’s just what happens when business pressure to move fast outpaces the slower work of building security controls into a new environment. The result is a large number of Indian enterprises sitting on cloud...
Most cybersecurity programmes in Indian enterprises aren’t really programmes. They’re collections of tools and contracts that got added over time, usually in response to incidents or audits, without a coherent strategy connecting any of it. There’s a firewall here, an endpoint solution there, a VAPT that gets run once a year, a SOC engagement that...
Here’s a scenario that plays out more often than it should. A ransomware attack hits an enterprise on a Friday evening. By the time anyone notices — usually because systems start going offline or someone gets a ransom note — the attackers have been inside the network for weeks. They’ve mapped the environment, identified the...
Most enterprises don’t realise their firewall is a liability until something goes wrong. Not because the technology is bad. Because nobody’s actually managing it properly. Rules get added, never removed. Firmware updates get skipped. Alerts pile up and nobody reviews them. And then one day, an attacker walks straight through a misconfigured policy that’s been...
Picking the wrong SOC partner is an expensive mistake. Not just financially — though that stings too — but operationally. You end up with a team that sends you alerts at midnight, floods your inbox with false positives, and then goes quiet exactly when something real is happening. I’ve seen it happen more than once....
In most organisations, cyber defence does not fail because tools are missing. It fails because responsibilities are unclear. Common situations look like this: Firewalls exist, but rules are rarely reviewed Alerts are generated constantly, but no one knows which ones matter Logs are collected, but seldom analysed properly In the middle of all this sits...
