The startup ecosystem in India has a real opportunity to embrace the digital transformation revolution, being at the right place at the right time and using the right technology. According to a report by Meticulous Research, the global Digital Transformation Market size, which was worth $695.5 billion in 2023, is projected to achieve a market size of $3,144.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 24.1 percent from 2024 to 2030. While this sounds like an amazing opportunity, it comes with challenges in the form of cybersecurity. The average annual cost of cybercrime is expected to increase from $8.4 trillion in 2022 to more than $23 trillion in 2027.
According to reports, India-based organisations recorded the second-highest number of weekly attacks per organisation in Q2 2024 in the APAC region. This marked a 46 percent year-over-year increase in cyberattacks, compared to 30 percent witnessed globally. It’s a dire warning for business leaders in the country.

As phishing or social engineering attacks, ransomware, and DDoS attacks continue to pose more significant threats to businesses, SMEs must aggressively watch the segment's dynamic trends to stay ahead. From Extended Detection and Response (XDR) to Security Process Automation, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Cyber Insurance, the solutions providers have a number of trends that drive the market.

Organizations need to localize these options and delve deep into their operational strategies to build effective cybersecurity strategies and solutions. This special yearly issue sheds light on the business leadership ecosystem in India. Do let us know your thoughts.
