"Cybercriminals have become increasingly sophisticated, employing advanced persistent threats (APTs) and AI-driven social engineering attacks that can bypass traditional defenses. Businesses face added risks due to their adoption of cloud services and reliance on third-party vendors. Security gaps, such as misconfigurations, insecure APIs, and limited visibility into external networks, create vulnerabilities beyond direct control. Ransomware continues to spread, mainly targeting sectors like healthcare, finance, and government, where attackers know that operational downtime can have serious consequences, increasing the pressure to pay." - Ruchin Kumar (Vice President - South Asia, Futurex), vice president, South Asia, FutureX
