Introduction
India is facing one of the largest waves of cyberattacks in history. Between January and June 2025, an average of 4.1 million cyberattacks per month targeted critical sectors like insurance, banking, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. While India was the primary victim, a large number of attacks originated from countries like the United States, France, Singapore, and Germany.
Thanks to AI-powered monitoring systems, over 4.26 billion cyberattacks were successfully blocked — but the real concern is the scale and sophistication of attacks that still go undetected.
As a cybersecurity training and protection provider, Eargs Learning Solution believes that awareness and preparedness are no longer optional — they are a necessity for business survival.
Sector-Wise Impact of Cyberattacks in India

|---|---|---|
| Insurance | Overall +30%, DDoS +350%, Vulnerability Exploits 10x | Sensitive customer data is the main target |
| API Security | Overall +126%, API-based DDoS +388% | APIs are the weakest link in digital infrastructure |
| Industry & Manufacturing | Overall +31%, DDoS +427% | Employee credential theft +45%; supply chain hijacks rising |
| Banking & Finance | Overall +14% | Staff-targeted phishing +46%; attacks during peak transactions |
| Small Businesses | Website Attacks +202%, Cloud Attacks +74x | Lack of cybersecurity teams makes them soft targets |
| Healthcare | +247% Attack Growth | Hospital systems and patient portals under persistent threat |
| Retail & E-commerce | DDoS +420%, Employee-targeted +127% | Card fraud & credential theft see rapid escalation |
Expert Perspective
“Cybercrime is no longer just a technical challenge — it is a direct threat to national security and business continuity,” says cybersecurity expert Prof. Triveni Singh (Former IPS Officer).
He emphasizes that while AI-based defenses are powerful, human awareness and structured security policies are equally crucial.
Why Indian Businesses Are Still at Risk
Despite growing attacks, most Indian businesses — especially small & mid-sized companies — remain unprepared due to:
❌ Lack of trained cybersecurity staff
❌ Weak password & access control policies
❌ No regular system audits or backups
❌ Over-reliance on basic antivirus software
In today’s threat landscape, that is not enough.
