Sanjay Manohar, Managing Director, McAfee India believes that much like the rest of the world, India is gearing up for an enhanced cybersecurity practice with a greater focus on personal data protection. “With sector after sector adopting digital technology to transform the nature of their business, their cyber risk profile changes just as intensely. Enterprise information security spending in India is on pace to total US$1.86 billion in 2019, an increase of 12.4% from 2018, according to the latest forecast from Gartner. The security industry is critical to ensuring India’s prominence as a leading investment destination and the security of its major industries, and we anticipate a steady growth in this sector. Additionally, with disruptive and emerging technologies bringing in an influx of data, we believe the demand for advanced cyber security solutions will only increase,” he observes.
