Cybersecurity has become the top business risk for India Inc, with 51% of leaders identifying cyber breaches as the biggest threat to business performance. As digital risks continue to rise, organisations must prioritise proactive security, strong governance, and employee awareness to protect operations, finances, and reputation.

APT28’s rapid exploitation of a newly patched Microsoft Office vulnerability highlights a growing reality, cyber threats now evolve faster than traditional defenses. This incident underscores the need for organizations to move beyond reactive patching and adopt a governance-led, risk-driven approach to cybersecurity. Strengthening cyber resilience, threat intelligence, and operational readiness is no longer optional, it’s essential.

The Notepad++ hack exposes a critical truth for modern enterprises: trusted software and compliant processes can still fail silently. By exploiting an assumed-safe update mechanism, the incident highlights how supply-chain risk often hides inside everyday operations. This post examines why traditional controls miss these failures and why continuous validation, not blind trust, is now essential for enterprise cyber resilience.

India’s latest government cybersecurity alert is more than a routine update notice; it is a clear warning for enterprise leadership. With critical vulnerabilities identified in widely used platforms like Apple devices and Google Chrome, the risk extends far beyond individual users into core enterprise systems. For CIOs, this alert highlights a deeper issue: modern cyber risk is continuous, interconnected, and often hidden inside trusted everyday tools. While patching is necessary, it is no longer sufficient on its own. True resilience requires continuous visibility, integrated controls, and governance that moves beyond checkbox compliance. This alert is a reminder that cyber risk is now a leadership issue and those who act early stay in control.

The CISA–ChatGPT incident proves internal access is now a major enterprise risk. This wasn’t a cyberattack, but authorised users sharing sensitive data via AI tools. Compliance alone failed. Real-time, system-enforced controls are essential to prevent AI-driven data exposure before it becomes a headline.

Compliance alone doesn’t protect businesses from real-world risks. Many organizations pass audits while remaining vulnerable due to weak system-level controls. True resilience comes from automated, continuous controls embedded directly into ERP environments. At TRPGLOBAL, we believe compliance should be the outcome of strong operational control, not the objective itself.
