“Budget 2026 reflects India’s intent to strengthen its position as a trusted hub for digital services, cloud, and advanced technologies. Steps to simplify the IT services framework, encourage data center investments, and push wider AI adoption are aimed at building long-term competitiveness. At the same time, as digital infrastructure scales, complexity, and cyber risk increase. Cyber risk today is continuous, not episodic, and organizations need to plan for resilience as a core business requirement. Embedding security into digital foundations will be critical to protecting data, ensuring continuity, and maintaining trust as India’s digital economy continues to expand.” – Vishak Raman, Vice President of Sales, India, SAARC, SEA & ANZ at Fortinet.
