In January 2024, India was hit by a major cyberattack, which exploited system vulnerabilities, leading to a massive data breach that affected 750 million telecom users. This breach exposed personal information, including names, mobile numbers, addresses, and Aadhaar numbers, highlighting serious security gaps.
In today’s digital world, while technology is central to our lives, it also exposes us to growing cyber threats. Attackers often exploit weaknesses in software, hardware, or networks to breach security. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, and disrupt services, potentially resulting in significant data breaches and system-wide interruptions.
To address these risks, organizations need to adopt a proactive approach to cybersecurity. This involves regular security assessments, effective patch management, comprehensive security awareness training, and strong security control systems to quickly detect and respond to threats.
