Quote: Ms. Smitha Shetty, Regional Director, APAC – Achilles Information Limited
“Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever, and supply chains have become a primary target for actors seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in third-party systems. Across APAC, the sharp rise in cyber incidents and claims highlights how deeply interconnected and exposed global value chains have become. Geopolitical developments, shifting trade dynamics, and the restructuring of global supply networks are further shaping how organisations manage risk. In this environment, evaluating and strengthening the cyber resilience of suppliers is essential to ensuring business continuity, data integrity, and stakeholder trust. Organisations that integrate cyber due diligence into supplier assurance will not only protect their operations and reputation but also build the resilience needed to compete in an increasingly digital world.”

“In the age of Industrial Automation and IIoT, cybersecurity stands as the pillar of progress and innovation. As industries become smarter and more connected, a secure digital ecosystem enables seamless collaboration, efficient operations, and data-driven excellence. By protecting our connected systems, we don’t just prevent risks , we unlock the full potential of intelligent manufacturing and sustainable growth.
Guided by the Government of India’s National Cyber Security Strategy and the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, cybersecurity is shaping a future where technology and trust coexist harmoniously. Following international standards such as IEC 62443, and embedding cyber hygiene practices like regular software updates, strong authentication protocols, network segmentation, user access control, and employee awareness training creates a resilient defense posture. When industries integrate these habits into daily operations, they transform cybersecurity from a response mechanism into a culture of proactive protection, fueling a smarter, safer, and progressive industrial India.”
