The CIC propels our Cyber capability to the next level and helps solidify our presence in the market as a global leader in Cyber Risk Services.”

“Threats posed to organizations by Cybersecurity-related issues have increased rapidly. So many organizations have suffered significant brand impact, financial loss, and systems outages due to Cybersecurity issues. With new attack potentials and insider threats on the rise, securing proprietary information and other critical business assets is becoming exponentially more difficult for Indian enterprises,” said Amry Junaideen, President, Enterprise Risk Services, Deloitte India. “As a rapidly growing market, India holds immense potential for Deloitte to make meaningful impact for our clients. We believe the CIC positions us well to address the cyber risk priorities of organizations in all industries with a full suite of business-focused security solutions,” he added.
