Information security spending to rise 16%

The end-user spending on information security in the country is projected to rise 16.4% year-on-year to $3.3 billion in 2025, according to a new forecast from Gartner.

“Persistent security challenges, such as data sprawl from generative AI (GenAI) use, ransomware attacks, evolving regulatory landscapes, and robust cloud adoption are driving Indian enterprises to increase their information security spending across all segments in 2025,” said Shailendra Upadhyay, senior principal at Gartner.
