The National Stock Exchange (NSE), India's largest stock exchange, is under constant siege from cyber attackers. Shockingly, it endures an average of 170 million cyber attacks per day -- that’s nearly 7.1 million attacks every hour.
Despite this relentless digital assault, NSE’s cyber defense teams have successfully thwarted every single attempt. According to a senior NSE official, "Our security teams operate 24/7, using advanced software and surveillance systems to ensure no disruption reaches India’s financial infrastructure."
One of the most intense incidents occurred during 'Operation Sindoor', when the exchange faced a simulated DDoS-style attack involving 400 million cyber attempts in a single day. The simulation tested NSE's resilience -- and its cybersecurity systems passed with flying colors, suffering no breaches or data loss.
The exchange operates two highly advanced cyber monitoring units, staffed with experts and armed with AI-driven tools that detect, analyze, and neutralize threats in real-time. These units serve as an invisible yet formidable shield around India's critical financial backbone.
In a digital age where cyber threats evolve rapidly, NSE’s preparedness sets a benchmark in cybersecurity excellence. Its silent cyber warriors continue to defend the nation's financial integrity -- every second, every day.
