Cybersecurity : Zero Trust is a digital business enabler

Blame it on the pandemic but shifts to work-at-home and back-to-office along with greater dependency on technology have thrown enterprise IT teams in total chaos. And, cybercriminals thrive in chaos. Here’s a quick reality check. A recent report by IBM finds that Asia is now the most targeted region for cyberattacks, representing 26% of attacks analysed in 2021. India features in the top-three list with financial services and manufacturing sectors being the most targeted industries. Furthermore, cost of a data breach in India averaged Rs 17.6 crore in 2022, a 6.6% increase from 2021, reveals Tushar Haralkar, security software technical sales leader, IBM Technology Sales, India/South Asia.
