Why India Is Emerging as a Third-Party Breach Hotspot

SecurityScorecard’s report finds that India plays a central role in global supply chains but faces substantial cyber risk: 52.6% of Indian vendors experienced a third-party breach in the last year, security ratings are highly polarized (26.7% F vs 25.3% A), and ransomware, credential theft, phishing, and poor patching/mismanaged certificates are driving incidents—particularly in pharmaceuticals and medical device suppliers; the report urges continuous monitoring, stronger vendor controls (MFA, segmentation, EDR/XDR), and fourth-party risk management.
