Last summer, a pharmaceutical company in Hyderabad called us in the middle of the night. Their production network had gone dark — not because of power, but because ransomware had crawled through an outdated VPN connection. Their first question wasn’t “What went wrong?” It was “How do we make sure this never happens again?” That’s...

Last monsoon, one of our clients — a logistics firm in Ahmedabad — had an employee accidentally click on a malicious link disguised as a shipment update.

A few years ago, cybersecurity in India was still a reactive game. Most companies waited for something to break before fixing it. Then came 2020 — a year that flipped everything.

The night a ransomware attack hit one of our client’s servers in Hyderabad, it wasn’t a fancy dashboard that saved the day — it was a 24-year-old SOC analyst named Divya.

The challenge for most organizations is that they can’t afford to staff an in-house team of cybersecurity experts around the clock. That’s where a Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) comes in. It gives...

If you run a small business, you’ve probably told yourself: “We’re too small for hackers to bother with.” I hear that line from owners all the time. Sadly, the numbers tell a different story. A 2023 report by Check Point Research found that small and mid-sized companies are being targeted almost as often as large...

Ask any financial leader what keeps them up at night and you’ll hear a familiar list: fraud, compliance failures, customer trust. All three are now tied directly to cybersecurity. In fact, cybersecurity for financial services has gone from being an IT concern to a boardroom priority. I was with a mid-sized bank in Pune recently....
