The technology in the industry is changing so rapidly that you have to keep up with the pace. I love to brainstorm a best, worst, and most likely scenario; which helps me to set a timetable that’s more realistic. We weren’t performing too well in one region and I did a thorough cost-benefit analysis for that region and with certain changes; it is now one of the most profit making region for us.

The rapid digitization of businesses and services in India has also bought with it the rampantly growing cyber-attacks or opened up avenues for cyber criminals for targeting enterprises with DDoS to APTs and ransomware. One of the key trends observed in the recent past is that of ransomware attacks, that is creating havoc across India as well as globally. The cyber threat extends its fangs to more areas with the increased adoption of technology. Cyber criminals today are more sophisticated in keeping up with the technology changes across business to individual user. Their major target is designed to elicit financial or confidential data gain from network to individual users with pre planned attacks.
