India is among the most cyber-attacked nations — and AI is making it worse
- Indian organisations face an average of 3,195 cyber attacks a week — roughly 702 every minute, per Check Point's 2026 report.
- AI now lets attackers scan networks, find weaknesses and launch attacks automatically, at a scale humans can't match.
- 65% of Indian organisations have already faced deepfake-driven attacks, and 47% of adults know someone hit by voice-cloning scams.
- The World Economic Forum's 2026 report ranks cybersecurity as India's number one national risk, above economic and climate risks.
