Our ThreatLabz' 2025 OT, IOT and Mobile Threat Report is published (https://lnkd.in/gsB74QTB ). Some key facts should be of interest to the security and tech community in India. 1️⃣ The Manufacturing and Transportation sectors jointly bear the brunt of IoT attacks, with a combined 40% of all IoT malware attacks and equal 20% shares. This marks a shift from Manufacturing’s standalone dominance last year. Additionally, attacks surged in the Arts & Entertainment and Education sectors, signaling a widening threat landscape as attackers increasingly target industries with growing IoT adoption. 2️⃣ India is the global top target for mobile malware, experiencing 26% of all attacks, a 38% year-over-year increase in detected attacks. 3️⃣ Attackers target Indian users with sophisticated phishing via WhatsApp and fake banking/government apps, using advanced malware that automates credential theft and bypasses verification controls. 4️⃣ Almost 7% of all compromised IoT devices were located in India, considerably fewer than the U.S. (54.1%), but concerning given the expected growth in the number of IoT devices in the region (estimated 427 million in 2025, estimated 1.5 billion by 2034). Zscaler Zero Trust Architecture offers the most flexible, scalable and "future proof" security architecture for Manufacturing and Transport companies.

Amit Narayan - Partner, India & South Asia, Control Risks Speaking at MARS 2026, Amit Narayan examined how data protection, cyber risk, and technology-driven disruption are reshaping the role of security leaders. With India’s data protection regime now in force, he noted that practices once considered routine: physical access control, visitor management, incident response have become regulatory and reputational risks with board-level consequences. Narayan cautioned security leaders against trying to “own everything” in response to expanding technology risk. Instead, he argued for a focused role: strengthening foundational safeguards, ensuring breach readiness, and supporting legal, compliance, and technology teams through clear incident playbooks and response timelines. He also stressed that resilience is the enabling condition for innovation. Organisations that create stability through disciplined security governance and preparedness—allow business leaders to take calculated risks and grow with confidence. Narayan concluded that security leadership in 2026 will be defined not just by control, but by clarity, prioritisation, and the ability to support organisational trust. Missed the session?

Critical Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Discovered in FortiClient EMS India’s CERT-In has issued a critical advisory (CIVN-2026-0080) highlighting a severe Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in FortiClient Endpoint Management Server (EMS) version 7.4.4. Why this matters? Due to improper input validation in the EMS administrative interface, an unauthenticated attacker may execute arbitrary code remotely - potentially leading to full system compromise. Potential Impact: * Unauthorized control of the EMS server * Deployment of malicious configurations to endpoints * Lateral movement within the network * Disruption of enterprise security operations Recommended Actions: * Apply the latest Fortinet security patch immediately (FG-IR-25-1142) * Restrict VPN / Admin interface exposure * Ensure EMS is not publicly accessible * Review logs for suspicious SQL or admin activity * Conduct a compromise assessment If your organization is running EMS 7.4.4, prioritize patching without delay. Proactive patch management and continuous SOC monitoring are critical to minimizing enterprise risk. . . . . . #CyberSecurity #Fortinet #FortiClient #RCE #VulnerabilityManagement #SOC #ThreatIntelligence #CERTIn #InfoSec #TmenSystems
