Gartner Forecasts Security and Risk Management Spending in India to Grow 12% in 2024

  GenAI-Driven Attacks Require Changes to Application and Data Security Practices and User Monitoring End-user spending on security and risk management (SRM) in India is forecast to total $2.9 billion in 2024, an increase of 12.4% from 2023, according to a new forecast from Gartner, Inc. Indian organizations will continue to increase their security spending through 2024 due to legacy IT modernization using cloud technology, industry demand for digital platforms, updated regulatory environment, and continuous remote/hybrid work. “In 2024, chief information and security officers (CISOs) in India will prioritize their spending on SRM to improve organizational resilience and compliance,” said  Shailendra Upadhyay , Sr Principal at Gartner. “With the introduction of stringent government measures mandating security breach reporting and digital  data protection , CISOs are facing heightened responsibility in safeguarding critical assets against evolving cyber threats.” Gartner a...

India’s Mobile Market Challenges

Published on Tuesday, 30 April 2013 05:42


India’s mobile services market will reach Rs.1.2 trillion in 2013, up 8 percent from 2012 revenue of Rs. 1.1 trillion, according to Gartner. Mobile connections will grow to 770 million in 2013, an 11 percent increase from 712 million connections in 2012.

“The mobile market in India will continue to face challenges if average revenue per unit (ARPU) does not grow significantly,” says Shalini Verma, principal research analyst at Gartner. “If the prevailing conditions do not change in the Indian telecom market, India will account for 12 percent worldwide mobile connections, but just 2 percent of worldwide mobile services revenue (in constant USD) in 2013.”



Indian telecom operators are faced with two major challenges – growing their profit margin in the face of intense competition and successfully competing with over the top service providers, such as Facebook and WhatsApp. “As mobile voice services continue to get commoditized in the country with the increased use of voice over IP (VoIP) and the probable termination of national roaming charges, mobile broadband is the area of opportunity for operators,” says Verma. “India has a phenomenal pent up demand for mobile broadband and local mobile apps that solve everyday problems for consumers. Smaller mobile broadband plans using a sachet-style usage pattern appeal to Indian consumers.”



As India plays catch up with the rest of the world in terms of mobile broadband adoption, telecom operators need to think of growing the top line through innovative services. Further rural expansion of mobile services will come at a cost. In India, innovation in utility apps that help bring efficiencies in a consumer’s life will bring in sustained revenue and will be relatively more difficult to replicate by new entrants. While social and video apps are doing extremely well in India, Verma says it is time to look beyond these and deliver apps that can have a sustained business model. Operators need to insert themselves into the value chain of these new apps and services.

Now facebook hit with international class action privacy suit

An Austrian privacy activist has launched a wide-reaching class action suit against Facebook Ireland for breaching European data protection law. Anyone outside of the US and Canada can join activist and law student Max Schrems' suit via the website fbclaim.com, since they will have signed up to Facebook's terms and conditions via the Dublin-based European subsidiary. That amounts to around 82 percent of all Facebook users. After being live for just one hour, the site has collected 100 participants. The suit is seeking damages of €500 ($537) per user, and injunctions to be levied on the company for the following breaches:     Failing to get "effective consent" for using data     Implementing a legally invalid data use policy     Tracking users online outside of Facebook via "Like" buttons     Using big data to monitor users     Failing to make Graph Search opt-in     The unauthorized passing of use...

The 'faster, better, most cost effective' mentality has led enterprises of all sizes to closely scrutinize their communications networks and networking infrastructure. network-cables The need to deploy high speed network backbones that meet future requirements, while simultaneously reducing costs, present conflicting interests. With the need for higher bandwidth and flexibility for growth, organizations are looking at the network's physical layer and its overall life cycle as a capital investment that is essential to the business. Throw into this conundrum the increasing focus on sustainability and the task of designing a network high-performance, high-efficiency network seems almost insurmountable. Addressing efficiency at a physical infrastructure level has fueled the growing ado...
