Seqrite unveils India Cyber Threat Report 2025 and new malware analysis tools

Seqrite, the enterprise arm of Quick Heal Technologies Limited, has released the India Cyber Threat Report 2025 and introduced two state-of-the-art tools at the 19th Annual Information Security Summit hosted by nasscom-DSCI. These developments mark a major leap forward for the cybersecurity landscape in India, addressing the rising challenges in digital security.

The report, a collaboration with the Data Security Council of India (DSCI), offers detailed insights into India’s evolving threat ecosystem. Over 369 million malware detections across 8.44 million endpoints underline the urgency of fortifying digital infrastructure defence. With Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Delhi identified as the most affected regions, the findings reveal significant industry-specific vulnerabilities in BFSI, healthcare, and hospitality.

Vishal Salvi, CEO of Quick Heal Technologies Limited, said that the release of the Seqrite Malware Analysis Platform (SMAP) and real-time threat intelligence solution represents a holistic strategy to strengthen the cybersecurity landscape in India. These enterprise-level offerings aim to empower organisations with proactive tools to counteract sophisticated threats effectively.

Seqrite’s latest offerings are built to address both existing and emerging cybersecurity challenges. The Seqrite Malware Analysis Platform is an advanced enterprise tool that leverages sandboxing for both static and dynamic malware analysis. It integrates with existing security frameworks like SIEM and SOAR, making it an essential component of any digital infrastructure defence strategy. The Seqrite Threat Intel Solution delivers real-time threat intelligence derived from diverse sources, including open-source intelligence (OSINT) and CERTs. It utilises insights from Seqrite’s 8.44 million endpoints to provide actionable, industry-specific data for enhanced threat detection and response.

The India Cyber Threat Report delves deep into malware trends across the nation. Signature-based detection accounted for 85.44% of cases, but the 14.56% identified through behavioural analysis points to a shift in detection methods. This evolution reflects the increasing sophistication of attacks, such as ransomware, that evade traditional systems.

The report also highlights that Trojans are the dominant threat, responsible for 43.38% of malware detections. Infectors and Worms follow at 34.23% and 8.43%, respectively. In the mobile segment, Android-based malware accounted for 42% of detections, underlining the growing need for advanced enterprise cybersecurity solutions to tackle this rising challenge.

DSCI CEO Vinayak Godse noted that the India Cyber Threat Report is designed to help organisations navigate the cybersecurity landscape in India. The demand for behaviour-based malware detection reflects the rapidly evolving tactics of cybercriminals and the pressing need for adaptive technologies.

Seqrite’s enterprise cybersecurity solutions aim to stay ahead of the curve as threats continue to evolve. With growing concerns around AI-driven cyberattacks and cloud vulnerabilities, the tools provide a robust defence for businesses and government entities alike.

The combined power of real-time threat intelligence and advanced malware analysis positions Seqrite as a leader in India’s cybersecurity landscape. By tackling challenges proactively, the company strengthens its commitment to safeguarding India’s digital infrastructure defence while preparing for emerging threats.
