Mumbai: As India becomes the second most targeted nation in cyber threats, over a 100 cybersecurity players from across India and the world will gather in Mumbai at the CyberSec India Expo 2025 to propose solutions and showcase cyber defence technologies on June 11 and 12.

In the first quarter of 2025 alone, cyberattacks exceeded 369 million detections, with India ranking second globally in attack frequency.
The inaugural two-day event, organised by Media Fusion, will be held at Hall 4 of Bombay Exhibition Centre in NESCO, with participants including cybersecurity leaders, emerging startups, policymakers, and global innovators.
While the Startup Innovation Zone at the exhibition will showcase cyber defence technologies like Al-driven threat detection, zero-trust architecture, quantum encryption and other disruptive technologies, Maharashtra government’s principal secretary Brijesh Singh, will address the conference attendees.
Singh said, "Cybersecurity is no longer a matter of choice, it is a national imperative. The threats we face today are widespread, impacting businesses, individuals, governments, and even national security. Maharashtra has always led from the front in embracing digital transformation, and we are pleased to support all endeavours that prioritise security, trust, and technological innovation. We welcome events like CyberSec India Expo that bring together global best practices and play a vital role in advancing collective resilience and protecting our digital future."
According to cybersecurity ventures, cybercrime is projected to cost the global economy a staggering $10.5 trillion annually by the end of 2025. India, the second largest internet user base with over 900 million users, is at the epicentre of the crisis. According to a report by DSCI and Seqrite, the most cyber targeted sectors in India were healthcare, hospitality and BFSI.
According to IDC, cybersecurity spending in India is also expected to cross $3.5 billion by 2025, with double-digit growth driven by regulatory pressure, growing cloud adoption and increasing complexity of cyber threats.
According to IDC, the $6.87 billion India's cybersecurity market is expected to grow at 20.2 percent CAGR to $20.48 billion by 2030. The booming cybersecurity job market too is projected to grow at 18.33 percent to reach $280 billion by 2025.
