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...

If you sit in a hospital IT office long enough, you will hear the same sentence again and again. “We know it’s not ideal, but we can’t take that system offline.” If you sit in a factory control room long enough, you will hear a similar one. “That machine is old, but it works. Changing...

Cloud networking usually does not break all at once. It degrades slowly. At first, everything works. Applications are reachable. Users can log in. Traffic flows. Then small issues start appearing. A service becomes unreachable from one region. A firewall rule added for a quick fix never gets removed. Someone opens access “temporarily” during a migration...

Cybersecurity Isn’t Just a Buzzword Walk into any enterprise boardroom today, and you’ll hear cybersecurity discussed alongside digital transformation, cloud migration, and customer experience. But beyond tools and frameworks, cybersecurity is fundamentally about why protection exists. At its core, cybersecurity is guided by three essential goals that help organizations make decisions: What must be protected?...

If you spend any time inside a hospital’s IT department today, you’ll notice something that wasn’t common a decade ago: security alerts popping up every few minutes. Healthcare is now one of the most aggressively targeted sectors for cybercriminals—not only in the US or Europe, but increasingly in India. You don’t have to look far...

Walk into any bank’s office today, and you’ll see posters about phishing, fraud awareness sessions, and long compliance checklists stuck on cubicle boards. Finance professionals know they’re under attack—but most still underestimate how deeply cyber risks have woven themselves into daily banking operations. The numbers are uncomfortable to look at. According to a report highlighted...

If you speak with plant managers in Pune, Ahmedabad, Chennai, or Jamshedpur today, you’ll notice a shift in their worries. It’s no longer just labour shortages, supply chain delays, or machinery downtime. It’s cyber attacks. Manufacturing was once an unlikely target, but with factories moving toward automation, IoT sensors, robotic systems, and cloud-connected production lines,...

If you ask founders of small and mid-sized Indian companies what stresses them the most, you’ll hear the usual answers—hiring, cash flow, customer acquisition. Cybersecurity rarely makes the top three. But for many of those same businesses, the most disruptive moments in the past two years came not from competition or finances, but from unexpected...

If you run a business in India, there’s a good chance your WhatsApp group has had at least one “urgent security alert” message in the past year. Maybe a supplier’s system got hacked. Maybe one of your vendors suddenly went offline. Maybe your own staff reported strange login attempts at 2:30 AM. This has quietly...

SMEs in India are often caught in a strange dilemma. They invest in a firewall because “every business needs one,” but after installation, the device sits untouched for months—or even years. Rules don’t get updated. Alerts go unread. Firmware isn’t patched. No one reviews access logs. And then one day, something happens—an intrusion, an employee...
