India's Cybersecurity Threat Landscape: What We're Seeing in 2026

Across our client engagements this year, a few clear patterns have emerged. Business email compromise attempts targeting finance teams have grown more sophisticated, often referencing real vendor names and invoice formats scraped from earlier breaches.

Ransomware groups are increasingly favoring double extortion — encrypting data and threatening to leak it — which changes incident response calculus significantly, since paying no longer guarantees data won't be leaked anyway.

On the regulatory side, the DPDP Act's rollout has pushed many SMBs to formalize data practices for the first time, often surfacing shadow IT and unmanaged data flows they didn't know existed.

We're also seeing increased interest in AI governance as organizations deploy LLM-based tools internally, often faster than their security review processes can keep up with.
