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 analysts are discussing strategies to enhance business resilience by improving threat and exposure visibility, response planning, and risk prioritization at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit, taking place in Mumbai through today.
In 2024, cloud security spending in India is projected to record the highest growth (see Table 1). The adoption of cloud and multi-cloud presents security challenges, causing an increased focus on cloud security by Indian organizations.
