As India steps into 2026, its digital public infrastructure stands unmatched: Aadhaar, UPI, DigiLocker, FASTag, and CoWIN collectively serve more than a billion citizens. However, the same architecture powering national progress is now a prime target for cyber aggression.
According to the Seqrite India Cyber Threat Report 2026, India logged 265.52 million threat detections in a year—505 every minute. Check Point’s 2025 analysis places Indian organisations at 2,011 cyberattacks per week, one of the highest in the world.
This is no longer an IT problem. It is a national security issue, with economic, geopolitical, and strategic consequences.
