However, according to the latest cybersecurity report 2022, 40% of businesses claim that their cybersecurity team is understaffed and  to compound this 60% of businesses have opened cybersecurity roles in India. In this context, SecurEyes, a leading global cyber security specialized consulting services firm is trying to bridge this gap.
