Mumbai: The National Stock Exchange (NSE) faces around 170 million cyberattacks daily, requiring a dedicated team of ‘cyber warriors’ to work around the clock to ensure uninterrupted operations. The NSE recorded its highest-ever 40 crore (400 million) cyberattacks in a single day during ‘Operation Sindoor’, designed as a DDoS simulation. However, attackers failed to cause any damage due to the coordinated efforts of men, machines, and advanced technology.
“Every day, millions of cyberattacks take place on the NSE. But our technical teams, their systems and technology combat these attacks round the clock using specialised software,” a senior NSE official said.
