India’s Cybersecurity Workforce Struggles to Keep Pace as AI and Cloud Systems Expand

 



India’s fast-growing digital economy is creating an urgent demand for cybersecurity professionals, but companies across the country are finding it increasingly difficult to hire people with the technical expertise required to secure modern systems.

A new study released by the Data Security Council of India and SANS Institute found that businesses are facing a serious shortage of skilled cybersecurity workers as technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and API-driven infrastructure become more deeply integrated into daily operations.

According to the Indian Cyber Security Skilling Landscape Report 2025–26, nearly 73 per cent of enterprises and 68 per cent of service providers said there is a limited supply of qualified cybersecurity professionals in the country. The report suggests that organisations are struggling to build teams capable of handling increasingly advanced cyber risks at a time when companies are rapidly digitising services, storing more information online, and adopting AI-powered tools.

The hiring process itself is also becoming slower. Around 84 per cent of organisations surveyed said cybersecurity positions often remain vacant for one to six months before suitable candidates are found. This delay reflects a growing mismatch between industry expectations and the skills available in the job market.

Researchers noted that many applicants entering the cybersecurity workforce lack practical exposure to real-world security environments. Around 63 per cent of enterprises and 59 per cent of service providers said candidates often do not possess sufficient hands-on technical experience. Employers are no longer only looking for basic security knowledge. Companies increasingly require professionals who understand multiple areas at once, including cloud infrastructure, application security, digital identity systems, and access management technologies. Nearly 58 per cent of enterprises and 60 per cent of providers admitted they are struggling to find candidates with this type of cross-functional expertise.

The report connects this shortage to the changing structure of enterprise technology systems. Many organisations are moving away from traditional on-premise setups and shifting toward cloud-native environments, interconnected APIs, and AI-supported operations. As businesses automate more routine tasks, demand is gradually moving away from entry-level operational positions and toward specialised cybersecurity roles that require analytical thinking, threat detection capabilities, and advanced technical decision-making.

Artificial intelligence is now becoming one of the largest drivers of cybersecurity hiring demand. Around 83 per cent of organisations surveyed described AI and generative AI security skills as essential for future operations, while 78 per cent reported strong demand for AI security engineers. The findings also show that nearly 62 per cent of enterprises are already running active AI or generative AI projects, which experts say can create additional security risks if systems are not properly monitored and protected.

As companies deploy AI systems, the attack surface for cybercriminals also expands. Security teams are now expected to defend AI models, protect sensitive datasets, monitor automated systems for manipulation, and secure APIs connecting multiple digital services. Industry experts have repeatedly warned that many organisations are adopting AI tools faster than they are building security frameworks around them.

Some cybersecurity positions remain especially difficult to fill. The report found that almost half of service providers and nearly 40 per cent of enterprises are struggling to recruit security architects, professionals responsible for designing secure digital infrastructure and long-term defence strategies. Demand is also increasing for specialists in operational technology and industrial control system security, commonly known as OT/ICS security. These professionals help protect critical infrastructure such as manufacturing facilities, power systems, transportation networks, and industrial operations from cyberattacks.

At the same time, companies are facing growing retention problems. Around 70 per cent of service providers and 42 per cent of enterprises said employees are frequently leaving for competitors offering better salaries and career opportunities. Limited access to advanced training and upskilling programs is also contributing to workforce attrition across the sector.

The findings point to a larger issue facing the cybersecurity industry globally: technology is evolving faster than workforce development. Experts believe companies, educational institutions, and training organisations may need to work more closely together to create industry-focused learning pathways that prepare professionals for modern cyber threats instead of relying heavily on theoretical instruction alone.

With India continuing to expand digital public infrastructure, cloud adoption, fintech services, AI development, and connected industrial systems, cybersecurity professionals are expected to play a central role in protecting sensitive information, maintaining operational stability, and preserving trust in digital platforms.

Ransomware Attacks Reach All Time High, Leaked Over 2.6 Billion Records

 

A recent analysis of cybercrime data of last year (2025) disclosed that ransomware victims have risen rapidly by 45% in the previous year. But this is not important, as there exists something more dangerous. The passive dependence on hacked credentials as the primary entry point tactic is the main concern. Regardless of the platforms used, the accounts you are trying to protect, it is high time users start paying attention to password security. 

State of Cybercrime report 2026


The report from KELA found over 2.86 billion hacked credentials, passwords, session cookies, and other info that allows 2FA authentication. Surprisingly, authentication services and business cloud accounted for over 30% of the leaked data in 2025.

The analysis also revealed that infostealer malware which compromised credentials is immune to whatever OS you are using, “infections on macOS devices increased from fewer than 1,000 cases in 2024 to more than 70,000 in 2025, a 7,000% increase,” the report said.

Expert advice


Experts from Forbes have warned users about the risks associated with infostealer malware endless times. The leaked data includes FBI operations aimed at shutting down cybercrime gangs, millions of gmail passwords within leaked infostealer logs, and much more. Despite the KELA analysis, the risk continues. To make things worse, the damage is increasing year after year.

About infostealer


Kela defined the malware as something that is “designed to exfiltrate sensitive data from compromised machines, including login credentials, authentication tokens, and other critical account information.” What is more troublesome is the ubiquity of malware-as-a-service campaigns in the dark web world. The entry barrier is not closed, but the gates have been kicked wide open for experts as well as amateur threat actors. Data compromise in billions

Infostealer malware, according to Kela, ‘is designed to exfiltrate sensitive data from compromised machines, including login credentials, authentication tokens, and other critical account information.” And with the now almost universal availability of malware-as-a-service operations to the infostealer criminal world, the barrier to entry has not only been lowered but kicked to the curb completely.

In 2025, Kela found around “3.9 million unique machines infected with infostealer malware globally, which collectively yielded 347.5 million compromised credentials.” The grand total amounts to 2.86 billion hacked credentials throughout all platforms: databases of infostealer logs and dark web criminal marketplaces.

Tricks used by infostealers:


AI-generated tailored scams, messaging apps, and email frequently use Phishing-as-a-Service to get around MFA. In so-called "hack your own password" assaults, users are duped into manually running scripts in order to circumvent conventional security measures.

Trojanized software is promoted by malicious advertisements and search results, increasing the risk of infection. In supply chain assaults, high-privilege credentials are the target of poisoned packages and DevTools impersonation. Form-grabbing and cookie theft are made possible via compromised browser extension updates. Fake software updates and pirated apps continued to be successful.

OpenAI Codex Bug Leads to GitHub Token Breach

 

In March 2026, researchers from BeyondTrust showed that a tailored GitHub branch name was enough to steal Codex’s OAuth token in cleartext. Tech giant OpenAI termed it as “Critical P1”. Soon after, Anthropic’s Claude Code source code leaked into the public npm registry, and Adversa’s Claude Code mutely ignored its own deny protocols once a prompt (command) exceeded over 50 subcommands.

Malicious codes in AI These codes were not isolated vulnerabilities. They were new in a nine-month campaign: six research teams revealed exploits against Copilot, Vertex AI, Codex, Claude Code. Every exploit followed the same strategy. An AI agent kept a credential, performed an action, and verified to a production system without any human session supporting the request.

The attack surface was first showcased at Balck Hat USA 2025, where experts hacked ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Gemini, Cursor and many more, on stage, with zero clicks. After nine, threat actors breached those same credentials.

How a branch name in Codex compromised GitHub


Researchers at BeyondTrust found Codex cloned repositories using a GitHub OAuth token attached in the git remote URL. While cloning, the branch name label allowed malicious data into the setup script. A backtick subshell and a semicolon changed the branch name into an extraction payload.

About the bug


The vulnerability affects the ChatGPT website, Codex CLI, Codex SDK, and the Codex IDE Extension. All reported issues have since been fixed in collaboration with OpenAI's security team.

This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary commands through the GitHub branch name parameter, potentially leading to the theft of a victim's GitHub User Access Token—the same token Codex uses to authenticate with GitHub—through automated techniques. A victim's GitHub User Access Token, which Codex needs to authenticate with GitHub, may be stolen as a result.

Vulnerability impact


This vulnerability can scale to compromise numerous people interacting with a shared environment or GitHub repository using automated ways. The Codex CLI, Codex SDK, Codex IDE Extension, and the ChatGPT website are all impacted by the vulnerability. Since then, every issue that was reported has been fixed in collaboration with OpenAI's security team.

“OpenAI Codex is a cloud-based coding agent, accessible through ChatGPT. It allows users to point the tool toward a codebase and submit tasks through a prompt. Codex then spins up a managed container instance to execute these tasks—such as generating code, answering questions about a codebase, creating pull requests, and performing code reviews against the selected repository,” said Beyond Trust.

Spotify Verified Badge Targets AI Music Confusion as Human Artist Authentication Expands

 

Now appearing beside artist profiles, Spotify’s new “Verified by Spotify” badge uses a green checkmark to highlight real human creators. Only accounts meeting the platform’s internal authenticity checks receive the label. Rather than algorithm-built personas, these profiles represent actual musicians behind the music. The rollout is happening gradually, changing how artists appear in searches, playlists, and recommendations. 

The update arrives as concerns continue growing around AI-generated music flooding streaming services. Spotify says verification depends on signals such as active social media accounts, consistent listener activity, merchandise listings, and live performance schedules - indicators suggesting a genuine person is tied to the profile. 

According to the company, these measures are designed to separate human creators from automated content increasingly appearing online.  Spotify says most artists users actively search for will eventually receive verification. Artists recognized for meaningful contributions to music culture are expected to be prioritized ahead of bulk-uploaded or mass-generated accounts. 

Over the coming weeks, the checkmarks will gradually appear across the platform, with influence and authenticity carrying more weight than upload volume. The move comes as streaming platforms face mounting criticism over how they handle AI-generated tracks. While the badge confirms a profile belongs to a real person, some critics quickly pointed out that it does not indicate whether artificial intelligence was used to help create the music itself. 

Questions around what counts as “real” music continue growing as AI tools become more involved in production. Creator-rights advocate and former AI executive Ed Newton-Rex warned that systems like Spotify’s may unintentionally disadvantage independent musicians who do not tour, sell merchandise, or maintain strong social media visibility. 

Instead, he suggested platforms should directly label AI-generated songs rather than relying solely on artist verification. Experts also note that defining AI involvement in music is increasingly difficult. Professor Nick Collins from Durham University described AI-assisted music creation as a broad spectrum rather than a simple divide between human-made and machine-made work. Many songs now involve software-assisted mixing, mastering, composition, or editing, making it far harder to classify music by origin alone. 

Spotify has faced years of criticism over AI-generated audio. Across forums and online communities, users have repeatedly called for clearer labels showing whether tracks were created by humans or algorithms. Some developers have even built independent tools aimed at detecting and filtering AI-generated songs on the platform. Concerns intensified after projects like The Velvet Sundown attracted large audiences despite having no interviews, live performances, or publicly traceable history. 

The group later described itself as a “synthetic music project” supported by artificial intelligence, fueling debate around transparency in digital music spaces. Spotify’s latest verification effort appears aimed at rebuilding trust while balancing support for evolving AI technologies. The move also reflects a broader trend across digital platforms, where companies are introducing verification systems to distinguish human-created content from synthetic material as AI-generated media becomes harder to identify.

Why Europe Is Rethinking Its Dependence on US Cloud Providers




Concerns around digital sovereignty are rapidly becoming one of the most important debates shaping the future of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and government technology infrastructure across Europe and the UK.

The discussion recently gained attention after Chi Onwurah, chair of the UK Science, Innovation and Technology Select Committee, criticized Britain’s broader technology strategy and warned about growing dependence on a small group of major US technology companies. Her remarks pointed to reliance on providers such as Microsoft and Amazon Web Services, while also referencing Palantir Technologies because of its involvement in NHS and defence-related contracts. She also raised concerns about foreign-controlled technology supply chains supporting critical public infrastructure.

At the centre of the debate is the meaning of “digital sovereignty,” a term that is increasingly used by governments but often interpreted differently. In practical terms, sovereignty refers to a country maintaining legal authority and control over its citizens’ sensitive data, including where that information is processed, accessed, and governed. Experts argue that sovereign data should only fall under the jurisdiction of the nation to which it belongs, rather than being exposed to foreign legal systems or overseas regulatory reach.

The issue has become especially significant in the era of public cloud computing. Before large-scale cloud adoption, most government and enterprise data was stored and processed inside domestic datacentres, limiting both physical and remote access to national borders. While foreign software vendors occasionally required access for maintenance or support purposes, control over infrastructure largely remained local.

That model changed as governments and businesses increasingly adopted cloud services operated by US-headquartered providers. As organizations shifted toward subscription-based cloud platforms, concerns began emerging over whether sensitive national data could still be considered sovereign if it was processed through globally distributed infrastructure.

Much of the modern sovereignty debate intensified following the Schrems II ruling, a landmark European court decision that challenged how personal data could be transferred outside the EU to countries viewed as having weaker privacy protections. Since then, governments across Europe have pushed for tighter oversight of where data travels and who ultimately controls cloud infrastructure.

Although sovereignty concerns are often framed as a problem tied only to hyperscalers, industry analysts say the challenge is broader. Companies including IBM, Oracle Corporation, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise also face pressure to adapt their cloud and data processing models to meet stricter sovereignty expectations.

The debate has also been intensified by geopolitical tensions. European governments have become increasingly cautious about long-term dependence on foreign-owned digital infrastructure, particularly as cloud computing and artificial intelligence become more deeply connected to defence, healthcare, and public services. Analysts note that data infrastructure is now being viewed similarly to energy or telecommunications infrastructure: strategically important and politically sensitive.

Among the prominent providers, Microsoft was one of the earliest companies to experiment with sovereign cloud initiatives, including a dedicated German version of Microsoft 365. However, that model was eventually discontinued in 2022. Critics argue the company now faces greater difficulties adapting because many of its cloud services operate through highly interconnected global systems spread across more than 100 countries.

Questions around transparency have also created challenges. Reports previously indicated that Microsoft struggled to provide detailed information about certain data flows when requested by the Scottish Police Authority under data protection obligations. Investigative reporting from ProPublica also stated that US authorities encountered similar difficulties while attempting to evaluate Microsoft cloud services under FedRAMP certification requirements for government environments.

Additional scrutiny has emerged around Microsoft’s artificial intelligence infrastructure plans. The company had previously indicated that in-country AI processing capabilities for Copilot services in the UK would arrive by the end of 2025, though timelines have reportedly shifted into 2026. Some European customers are also expected to receive regional AI processing instead of fully sovereign national deployments.

Industry experts increasingly categorize sovereign cloud approaches into multiple levels. One common method involves creating “data boundaries,” where providers attempt to restrict where customer data is stored or processed while still operating under global cloud architectures. Critics argue this model may not fully satisfy stricter interpretations of sovereignty because some operational control can still remain overseas.

A second approach focuses on partnerships with local operators that manage sovereign services regionally. Amazon Web Services has promoted its European Sovereign Cloud initiative using this framework, arguing that the platform aligns with EU regulatory requirements. However, some analysts contend that EU-level governance is not the same as national sovereignty, particularly for non-EU countries such as the UK. Concerns have also been raised over whether US legislation, including the CLOUD Act, could still apply in certain circumstances.

Meanwhile, Google Cloud has attracted attention through its partnership with French defence and technology company Thales Group. Their joint venture, S3NS, is designed around France-specific sovereign infrastructure with air-gapped operations, meaning the systems can function independently without continuously communicating with external global networks for updates or validation checks.

Security specialists consider air-gapped architecture an important benchmark for sovereign cloud environments because it reduces reliance on foreign operational control. Google’s Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped platform is currently viewed by some analysts as one of the more mature sovereign cloud offerings available, despite still lacking some features present in its broader public cloud ecosystem.

The approach has already attracted major defence-related interest. France, NATO members, and the German military have all shown interest in sovereign infrastructure models, while the UK Ministry of Defence recently announced a £400 million contract spanning five years tied to these types of capabilities.

Competing alternatives are still evolving. AWS offers LocalStack-focused options largely aimed at development environments, while Microsoft’s disconnected Azure Local products have faced criticism from some analysts who argue the offerings remain less mature than competing sovereign platforms.

Despite rapid investment, experts say the sovereign cloud market is still in its early stages. Google’s France-based partnership model currently appears to offer one of the clearest examples of locally controlled hyperscale infrastructure, while AWS continues refining its European-focused model and Microsoft works through broader architectural and transparency challenges.

At the same time, the sovereignty movement may create new opportunities for regional cloud providers and domestic technology companies. However, analysts warn that building competitive sovereign infrastructure will require long-term investment, government support, and procurement strategies that allow interoperability between multiple vendors rather than locking public institutions into a single provider.

Many experts believe the future of sovereign technology infrastructure will likely depend on hybrid and partnership-driven models combining hyperscale cloud capabilities with locally managed operations. Supporters of the S3NS approach argue it offers an early blueprint for how global cloud providers and national operators could collaborate while still preserving local control over sensitive data and critical digital systems.

Ransomware Victims Jump 45% in 2025 as Stolen Credentials Fuel Global Cybercrime Surge

 

A newly released cybercrime analysis has revealed a dramatic rise in ransomware activity during 2025, with the number of victims increasing by 45% compared to the previous year. However, cybersecurity experts say the bigger concern lies in the growing dependence on stolen credentials as the main entry point for cyberattacks.

According to the State of Cybercrime 2026 report published by KELA, researchers identified nearly 2.86 billion compromised credentials, including passwords and session cookies capable of bypassing two-factor authentication (2FA). More than 30% of the exposed data originated from business cloud platforms and authentication services throughout 2025.

The report also highlighted a sharp increase in malware infections targeting Apple users. “infections on macOS devices increased from fewer than 1,000 cases in 2024 to more than 70,000 in 2025, a 7,000% increase,” the report confirmed.

Cybersecurity researchers have repeatedly warned about the growing threat posed by infostealer malware. Despite multiple law enforcement crackdowns and investigations into cybercriminal groups operating stolen password databases, the threat landscape continues to worsen year after year.

KELA described infostealer malware as software “designed to exfiltrate sensitive data from compromised machines, including login credentials, authentication tokens, and other critical account information.” The report further noted that the rise of malware-as-a-service platforms has significantly lowered the barrier for cybercriminals, making these tools widely accessible.

Between January 1 and December 31, 2025, KELA stated that it “observed approximately 3.9 million unique machines infected with infostealer malware globally, which collectively yielded 347.5 million compromised credentials.” Across all monitored criminal marketplaces and leaked databases, the total number of compromised credentials tracked reached 2.86 billion.

The report identified several major attack methods commonly used by infostealer operators during 2025:
  • Email and messaging scams powered by AI-generated personalization, often bypassing MFA through Phishing-as-a-Service operations.
  • Social engineering tactics that trick users into manually running malicious scripts, known as “hack your own password” attacks.
  • Malicious advertisements and fake search engine results distributing trojanized software.
  • Supply chain attacks involving poisoned software packages and fake developer tools targeting privileged accounts.
  • Compromised browser extension updates enabling cookie theft and form-grabbing attacks.
  • Pirated applications and counterfeit software updates continuing to spread infections effectively.
Security experts recommend several preventive measures to reduce exposure to these attacks. Users are advised to keep operating systems and software updated only through official sources and avoid clicking links from unsolicited emails or messages, even if they appear legitimate.

Experts also stress the importance of using password managers to prevent password reuse across multiple accounts, limiting the damage caused by a single breach. Enabling two-factor authentication on all supported accounts remains essential, although attackers are increasingly using session-cookie theft to bypass MFA protections.

To strengthen account security further, cybersecurity professionals are encouraging users to adopt passkeys instead of traditional passwords wherever possible. Passkeys offer built-in phishing resistance, are randomly generated, and do not share private authentication keys during sign-ins, making them significantly harder for infostealer malware to compromise.

Purple Team Myth Exposed: Why It's Just Red vs Blue in 2026

 

Many organizations tout their "purple teams" as the pinnacle of cybersecurity collaboration, blending offensive red team tactics with defensive blue team strategies. However, a critical issue persists: these teams often remain siloed, functioning more like red and blue in disguise rather than a true integrated purple force. This misnomer stems from superficial exercises where attackers simulate breaches while defenders watch passively, failing to foster real-time learning or adaptive defenses. 

The problem intensifies in 2026's threat landscape, where exploit windows have shrunk dramatically to just 10 hours on average, demanding rapid response capabilities. Traditional purple teaming, limited to periodic workshops, cannot keep pace with agile adversaries exploiting zero-days and supply chain vulnerabilities. Without genuine fusion, red teams uncover flaws that blue teams log but rarely operationalize, leading to repeated failures during live incidents. This disconnect leaves enterprises exposed, as detections remain unrefined and defenses static. 

At its core, authentic purple teaming requires shared goals, continuous feedback loops, and joint ownership of outcomes, not just shared meeting rooms. Many setups falter here, with red teams prioritizing stealthy attacks over teachable moments and blue teams focusing on alerts without contextual adversary emulation. The result is a performative exercise that boosts resumes but not resilience, ignoring metrics like mean-time-to-respond or coverage of MITRE ATT&CK frameworks. 

To evolve, organizations must shift to autonomous, continuous purple teaming powered by AI agents that simulate attacks, investigate alerts, and map to real-world tactics. This approach validates detections in real-time, bridges the red-blue gap, and scales beyond human bandwidth. Forward-thinking teams are adopting adversarial exposure validation, ensuring defenses evolve proactively rather than reactively. Ultimately, ditching the purple label for hollow collaborations unlocks true synergy, fortifying organizations against 2026's relentless threats. By measuring success through integrated KPIs and embracing automation, security programs can transform from fragmented efforts into unified powerhouses.

Apricorn Launches 32TB Encrypted Drive to Strengthen Offline Data Security Against Cyber Threats

 

Security feels stronger when data is scrambled, yet that strength vanishes if login steps or secret codes fall into the wrong hands. Instead of relying on system files tucked inside computers - where sneaky programs like spyware or digital snoopers lurk - real protection means keeping those pieces far away from risk. Enter a fresh take from Apricorn: their updated Aegis Padlock DT FIPS line now includes a 32TB model built to lock out the host machine completely. 

This shift sidesteps common traps by handling safeguards directly on the drive itself. Authentication happens right on the device, using keys embedded into the drive's own interface. Rather than typing codes through the host machine, individuals enter their access number straight into the unit. Because of this setup, login details do not pass through the computer’s software layer, lowering risks tied to infected endpoints. 

According to Apricorn, cryptographic operations are managed entirely within the hardware via custom-built AegisWare code, ensuring private information stays separate from vulnerable environments. Isolated encrypted storage remains key for strong cyber defenses, says Apricorn's Kurt Markley. Not limited to online solutions, the device fits into wider efforts for securing data without connectivity. 

Instead of relying on the host system, access control moves directly onto the hardware itself. Threats often exploit weaknesses in software-driven methods - this design helps avoid those pitfalls. With every file saved, encryption happens instantly on the Aegis Padlock DT FIPS. Even at rest, both data and access codes stay locked down through strong encoding. Firmware tampering? Not possible - Apricorn built it so updates can’t sneak in. 

That wall keeps out threats like BadUSB, which twists ordinary USB gear into tools for system breaches. Priced close to $2,000, the 32TB model enters alongside lower-capacity encrypted drives. With built-in 256-bit AES XTS encryption, it operates directly through hardware protection. Verified under FIPS 140-2 Level 2 by NIST, its design meets strict governmental requirements. Compatibility spans across Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and ChromeOS - no extra software needed. Despite higher cost, access remains smooth on multiple platforms out of the box. 

Despite limitations in certain setups, the device works reliably where standard encryption methods fail - think medical scanners, factory machines, isolated storage units, or built-in controllers. Transfer rates reach 5 gigabits per second thanks to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection. Inside, vital parts are shielded by a dense epoxy layer, resisting drops, impacts, and deliberate interference. Built tough, it handles rough conditions without compromising security. 

Even with strong built-in protections, the device cannot block all digital threats. Though separating encryption and login checks from the host machine lowers infection chances, firms have to protect where the drive is kept. Should someone get hold of the unit physically, how it's managed day-to-day matters as much as its coded defenses. Firms relying on this tool must enforce clear rules for where it's stored, who can reach it, and which verified machines link to it. 

Security hardware gains traction amid rising digital risks, driven by frequent attacks on weak software defenses and leaked login data. A surge in complex breaches pushes companies to adopt built-in protection methods instead of relying solely on traditional programs. This move reflects deeper changes across sectors aiming to reduce exposure through physical safeguards. Growing reliance on embedded tools marks a departure from older models dependent on patch-prone applications.
