Cybercrime in 2025 poses severe financial and reputational risks, with Indian entities projected to lose ₹20,000 crore. AI has revolutionised both attack and defense — enabling phishing, ransomware, and deepfake frauds, while also strengthening cybersecurity through real-time anomaly detection. India records 369 million security incidents annually, making awareness essential. Key laws like the DPDP Act 2025, Telecom Cyber Security Rules 2024, and IT Act provisions enhance accountability.
