As India's economy rapidly digitizes, cybersecurity challenges are becoming increasingly complex. This May, Rapid7 launched our inaugural Global Security Day series across India, bringing together top security leaders in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru to address the most pressing cyber threats facing organizations in 2025.
Key insights that emerged
Across all three cities, several critical themes emerged that are shaping India's cybersecurity landscape:
AI is No Longer Optional: Organizations recognize that AI has become essential for threat detection, exposure management, and SOC operations. The question is no longer whether to adopt AI, but how to implement it effectively.
Attack Surface Explosion: Cloud misconfigurations, insecure APIs, and identity misuse are driving today's biggest risks. Organizations are struggling to maintain visibility and control across increasingly complex environments.
SOC Modernization is Urgent: Traditional Security Operations Centers need fundamental transformation, with automation and AI at their core to handle the volume of modern threats.
Talent Gap Challenges: Upskilling and reskilling initiatives are critical to closing the cybersecurity talent gap that's affecting organizations globally, but particularly acutely in India's booming tech sector.
Regulatory Evolution: India's evolving cybersecurity regulatory landscape is shaping how organizations approach their security investments and strategy development.
A journey across India's cyber capital cities
Our three-city roadshow, organized in collaboration with Information Security Media Group (ISMG), focused on the theme "2025 Cyber Threat Predictions: AI-Driven Attacks, Ransomware Evolution, and Expanding Attack Surface." The response from India's cybersecurity community was overwhelming, with 138 security leaders and delegates participating across all three cities.
