Google invests in SMB cybersecurity adoption as attackers focus on India
The movement is part of Google’s global clues and is part of the efforts to reduce cyber threats faced by online facilities, which is one of the biggest markets of India, Heather Adkins, the Vice President of Security Engineering and the founding member of Google’s security team, Mint.
“With the volume of the Indian market, there is a large amount of cyber threats faced by small enterprises with limited resources in India. We are working with key government offices to raise awareness and help government officials get a cyber mentality and increase the total financing of cyber clinics for small enterprises for SMBS.
On Tuesday, Google also said that he was now popular as digital arrests – in the face of fraud with the existing awareness attempts with the Ministry of Interior and the rising fraud with Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C). Some such attacks have seen that individuals lost up to $ 700,000 in targeted frauds, using identity theft, spear identity hunting and various other techniques.
The security initiatives of the major technology company are trying to fight a greater threat that the Cyber Security Industry stakeholders have repeatedly brought up. For this purpose, Adkins said that the company has already played a role in sharing data between organizations and geographies when necessary and necessary.
Cooperation between borders
“Data sharing between geographies still requires the necessary arrangements to play as intended. However, if the two countries are actively cooperating, we are a part that usually enables investigations to share the investigations as much as possible. An important part of our Indian regulation is to try and prevent them. ”
Industry stakeholders believe that Google’s cyber security efforts can be the key to investing in a grounding solution with small enterprises.
“With pure volume, small and medium -sized enterprises are the basic points of the online safety pile and your cyber security is only as safe as the weakest connection. For this purpose, can we establish Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ air defense system?
He added that the key to achieving this would be to offer a rationalized cost structure to invest in cyber security. “It is difficult to leave where the critical infrastructure starts from the start of the operation between the enterprises. The government has to play a role in subsidizing access to cyber security, and companies like Google have capacity to see complex business cases to bring small businesses to the cyber security network.”
Android majority
However, Adkins added that Google continues to invest in cyber security efforts in India, as Google naturally makes a hot dot for various cyber fraud and spam naturally the size of a wide range of businesses and country consumers. As part of these efforts, Google increases its efforts to inform whether a call is a potential spam – naturally transforms this feature into an Android ecosystem. Secondly, it constitutes more than 95% of 750 million active smartphones in India.
This is an important factor that affects millions of users daily beyond cyber attacks that penetrate small operating networks. In February, Singapore -based cyber security firm Cyfirma emphasized the spread of Spylend, which is a “simplified finance and lending” application, which spreads malware for more than 100,000 devices in a week.
To undertake this, India is an important part of Google’s security engineering efforts.
“Our security team is spreading to the world – in general, we have about 8,000 people working horizontally between the sections on security initiatives. In India, there are more than 1,000 people based on Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
