Sophos Reports 60% Growth in India as Cybersecurity Startups Expand Globally
Sophos, a global cybersecurity firm, reported a 60% growth in its India business in FY26, outpacing the domestic market's 15% growth rate by four times. India is now Sophos' top growth market and largest contributor in the Asia-Pacific and Japan region, with over 1,500 employees locally. This growth is attributed to rising cyber resilience awareness and regulatory focus, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. Meanwhile, Indian cybersecurity startups are expanding overseas, seeking larger markets and enterprise clients beyond India.
