There has been an exponential growth in the number of cybersecurity startups and the quantum of investments in such startups in India over the past 5-6 years. From 15 startups/ enterprises and USD 1 million investments in 2012, the numbers have risen to over 20 startups and over USD 100 million in 2017.

Early Indian players in this space such as Innefu Labs and Indusface, which were started in 2011, have grown into worldwide players with a global clientele.
