India Records Its Highest Average Cost Of A Data Breach At INR 255 Million (INR 25.5 Crore) In 2026: IBM Report

* Phishing, including voice and SMS phishing, was the most common initial attack vector in India

* 68% of Indian organizations surveyed still have limited or no use of AI and security automation

IBM has released its 2026 Cost of a Data Breach Report, which found that the average total organizational cost of a data breach in India reached an all-time high of INR 255 million (INR 25.5 crore) in 2026, a 15.9% increase over last year's INR 220 million (INR 22 crore). The average breach in India also grew in scale, with 39,500 records compromised on average, up from 38,200 in 2025.

The report found that 26% of malicious breaches in India were AI-generated, highlighting how artificial intelligence is reshaping the cyber threat landscape by enabling attacks to become faster, more sophisticated and increasingly scalable. The findings show that while AI is transforming the nature of cyberattacks, it is also helping organizations strengthen cyber resilience. Organizations that extensively deployed AI and security automation experienced significantly lower breach costs and faster breach response, while nearly 73% of organizations also indicated plans to further strengthen investments in security tools and governance following a breach.

"India's accelerating AI adoption is creating immense opportunities for innovation, but it is also enabling cyber threats to evolve rapidly. The findings underscore that organizations using AI and strong governance, were significantly better positioned to fend off cyberattacks," said Gaurav Agarwal, Vice President, Technology, IBM India & South Asia. “Today, most organizations apply AI in limited ways, often focused on detection. To keep pace, AI with agentic capabilities must be embedded across the full security lifecycle—from detection and analysis to prioritization and remediation. That should be the strategic imperative for businesses to build resilience and a competitive advantage,” he added.

Other key findings from the report for India are as follows:

The AI Gap: Adoption Lags, Costs and Delays Rise

Automation Adoption Stalls: Only 32% of organizations reported extensive use of AI and security automation, while 36% reported limited and 32% reported no use at all.

The Cost of Standing Still: Organizations with no AI and automation in security operations paid an average of INR 316 million (INR 31.6 crore) per breach, compared to INR 213 million (INR 21.3 crore) for organizations with extensive use, and INR 231 million (INR 23.1 crore) for those with limited deployment.

Slower Response Without Automation: Breaches at organizations with no AI and security automation took an average of 236 days to identify and 75 days to contain, longer than those with extensive automation (175 days to identify and 81 days to contain).

Shadow AI Remains a Significant Risk: Shadow AI added an average of INR 17.9 million (INR 1.79 crore) to the cost of a breach where present, making it one of the top three cost-increasing factors in India, alongside non-compliance with regulations and cloud migration.

The Financial Cost of a Breach

Financial Services Face the Highest Costs: The financial services sector recorded the highest average breach cost in India at INR 409 million (INR 40.9 crore), followed by technology at INR 357 million (INR 35.7 crore) and communications at INR 345 million (INR 34.5 crore).

Phishing Remains the Top Attack Vector: Phishing, including voice and SMS phishing, was the most common initial attack vector in India (19%), followed by drive-by compromise (16%) and supply chain compromise (15%).

Offensive Security Pays Off: Offensive security testing, such as red teaming and penetration testing, was the largest cost-reducing factor in India, saving organizations an average of INR 24.7 million (INR 2.47 crore), followed by proactive threat hunting and AI governance technology.

Organizations Strengthen Cyber Resilience

Investment Priorities: The top five areas where organizations are planning additional security investments are – incident response plans and testing (67%), threat detection and response technologies such as SIEM, SOAR and EDR (51%), identity and access management (49%), AI security and governance tools (39%), and employee awareness and training (36%).

About the Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026

The 2026 report, conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored and analyzed by IBM, is based on breaches experienced by 602 organizations globally between March 2025 and February 2026. The follow-on study was conducted in May 2026, where 456 organizations of the 602 from the CODB research responded. Of these organizations, 78% or 356 of organizations were aware of recent reports about highly advanced frontier models such as Mythos.

Introducing Nike Hybrid, A New Nike Training Performance Footwear System Built From The Ground Up

What is Nike Hybrid?
Nike Hybrid is a new Nike Training footwear system built for the unique demands of hybrid training and racing. Featuring the Nike Hybrid Fly and Nike Hybrid RN, it helps athletes move seamlessly between running, lifting and dynamic movement without sacrificing speed, stability or traction.

Why did Nike create it?
As hybrid training and racing continue to grow, athletes have been forced to choose between running shoes built for speed and training shoes built for stability. Nike Hybrid Fly and Nike Hybrid RN were created to solve that challenge.

What Nike innovations are included?
Nike Hybrid features two purpose-built solutions: Nike Hybrid Fly, a hybrid racing shoe designed for the unique demands of competition, and Nike Hybrid RN, a runnable trainer crafted for everyday hybrid training.

When are they available?
The Nike Hybrid RN will release in China on September 24 before becoming available globally on October 8 at nike.com and select retail locations. The Nike Hybrid Fly will launch globally in April 2027.

Nike is introducing Nike Hybrid: a new Nike Training performance footwear system built from the ground up to meet the unique needs of hybrid athletes.

Hybrid racing is growing fast, redefining the way athletes train, compete and think about performance. It’s fast, efficient and relentless. Athletes regularly shift between running, lifting and dynamic movement throughout training and competition, requiring performance across a wide range of movements and environments.

The demands of hybrid training and racing are constant, but traditional footwear has required compromise. Athletes have been forced to choose between the speed and responsiveness of a running shoe and the stability and grip of a traditional training shoe, often sacrificing one benefit to get the other.

The Nike Hybrid system was created to solve that challenge, delivering performance without compromise. Built from the ground up, the innovations distinctly serve hybrid athletes, from everyday training to the starting line.

Designed to support the full-body demands of hybrid racing, Nike Hybrid delivers two new distinct footwear solutions tailored to the way hybrid athletes train and compete. The Nike Hybrid Fly is built for race day. The Nike Hybrid RN is designed for everyday training. Together, they form Nike Hybrid, an evolving system of innovation built for the different ways athletes train and compete.

The innovations are rooted in athlete insight and powered by Nike’s proprietary performance platforms, such as Nike Air, ZoomX and ReactX foam, and carbon fiber Flyplate technology, which combine to offer unparalleled performance between hybrid movements such as sled pushes and pulls, lunges, rows, ski ergs and runs. Nike worked with elite hybrid athletes like Dylan Scott as well as everyday athletes to inform, refine and pressure-test the system against the demands of hybrid training and racing.

The Nike Hybrid Fly: Designed for the Future of Hybrid Racing

Built for the unique demands of hybrid racing, the Nike Hybrid Fly is engineered for competition. The shoe combines ZoomX foam, a full-length carbon Flyplate and dual forefoot Air Zoom units to help maintain speed on the run, where many athletes gain their greatest competitive advantage.

The cushioning system is paired with a wider, more stable base designed to increase traction and help athletes minimize the micro-adjustments often required when transitioning into station work. Additional features include race lockdown laces, four-zone traction with sticky rubber and sidewall wraps to help maximize grip and security across varied surfaces, and a lightweight engineered mesh upper reinforced with zoned haptic lines for structure and durability.

“I have always wanted a shoe that ran like the snappy carbon-plated shoes but found a way to put a stable footing and grip out on the race floor as well,” says Scott, Nike world champion hybrid athlete. “I kept finding that I could get two out of three of those aspects but never all three to come together until the Hybrid Fly. It was the shoe I trusted to get the job done, and it did.”

The Nike Hybrid RN: Built for Everyday Hybrid Training

Designed for everyday hybrid training, the Nike Hybrid RN combines ReactX foam and a forefoot Air Zoom unit to create a smooth, responsive ride while maintaining the stability athletes need for lifts. A wide outsole and X-shaped upper overlays help secure the foot during transitions, while a dual-rubber outsole delivers optimal traction across multiple surfaces. Engineered mesh construction helps keep athletes comfortable and supported throughout training.

“Hybrid asks a lot more of a shoe than road running does,” says Lauren Weeks, Nike world champion hybrid athlete. “You’re constantly switching between running and strength movements, so it makes sense to wear something solely designed for both. Having a shoe that can handle those demands lets you focus on your race or training instead of thinking about your footwear.”

Along with the Hybrid Fly, the Hybrid RN reflects Nike’s commitment to solving athlete problems through performance innovation and design, delivering purpose-built solutions for the unique demands of hybrid training and racing.

The Nike Hybrid RN will release in China on September 24 before becoming available globally on October 8 at nike.com and select retail locations. The Nike Hybrid Fly will launch globally in April 2027.
