India’s cybersecurity market is on a sustained growth trajectory with no signs of plateauing. According to IDC’s Worldwide Security Spending Guide (v1,2026), total security spending in India across hardware, software, and services is projected to grow from $3.2 billion in 2024 to $6.2 billion by 2029 at a strong 14.4% CAGR over five years. Software and hardware are the fastest-growing segments, while services, already the largest piece of the pie, continues to expand at a steady clip. This isn’t budget inflation. It reflects a fundamental shift in how Indian enterprises are treating security: less as a cost center, more as a strategic capability. The scale of investment signals that CISOs are finally getting the boardroom backing to move beyond reactive posturing.

As organizations continue to adopt encrypted applications and cloud-based services, SSL/TLS interception has become an important security control. It enables security teams to inspect encrypted traffic for malware, data exfiltration, and policy violations that would otherwise remain hidden. However, implementing SSL interception across an enterprise is often more challenging than it appears.

One of the biggest concerns is the impact on users. Improperly planned deployments can result in certificate warnings, application failures, and degraded user experience. The challenge becomes even greater when dealing with non-domain-managed devices and browsers that may not trust enterprise-issued certificates.
