Indian cyberspace seeing incidents at higher rate than global average: National Cybersecurity Coordinator

Bengaluru: The Indian cyberspace has seen nearly double the number of cyber incidents as compared to the global average, National Cybersecurity Coordinator MU Nair said on Sunday.

Addressing a session on ‘Aligning Technologies to Future Conflicts’ at the Synergia Conclave 2023, Nair said ransomware attack payments of nearly USD 1.54 billion have been made on an average over the past 10 months, which has doubled since 2022.

“These payments are just the tip of an iceberg since several of these incidents go unreported,” he said.
