Cyberattacks on Indian businesses increased 300% in 2024. These are the current attack vectors and the defensive architectures that neutralize them.
The cybersecurity threat landscape for web applications has intensified significantly in 2025, with AI-powered attack tooling enabling more sophisticated and automated attacks at lower cost for threat actors. Indian businesses in fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce are primary targets. As a web development company India that handles sensitive user data, Scult.in implements defence-in-depth security architecture on every production deployment.
The Current OWASP Top 10 Priorities
The OWASP Top 10 (2021 edition) remains the definitive guide to web application security. Current highest-risk vulnerabilities for Indian web applications: Broken Access Control (the #1 finding in our security reviews — API endpoints that don't properly enforce who can access what); SQL Injection (still prevalent in legacy PHP codebases); and Security Misconfiguration (default credentials, open cloud storage buckets, verbose error messages leaking implementation details).
AI-Powered Attack Vectors
New in 2025: AI-generated phishing attacks that bypass traditional content filters by generating contextually appropriate, grammatically perfect phishing emails at scale; automated vulnerability scanning that identifies exposed API endpoints faster than manual testing; and credential stuffing attacks powered by leaked password databases. Our custom website development team implements rate limiting, bot detection, MFA enforcement, and anomaly detection as standard defensive measures.
