institutions in are the biggest target of , Business Standard reports, citing a report by a Singapore-based AI-driven digital risk firm CloudSEK.

Last year, India accounted for 58% of all the threats detected in the Asia-Pacific region, as per the report called Cyber Threats Targeting the Global Education Sector. platform BYJU'S, Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode, and Tamil Nadu's Directorate of Technical Education are among those that were attacked.

Factors that drove this trend: Digital transformation of educational content and processes, increased adoption of online learning by schools and colleges after the onset of -19 and increased usage of edtech platforms among a wide r0ange of audiences.

Globally, cyber threats to the education sector grew by 20% (year-on-year) between January and February. India is quickly followed by the U.S., the U.K., Indonesia and Brazil, according to the report.

With the expanding edtech market, population growth and rapid digital transformation in developing countries, it’s no surprise that cybercriminals are gravitating towards entities and institutions in the sector, said Darsh*t Ashara, Principal Threat Researcher at CloudSEK.

What could help? The report also suggests increasing awareness about cyber attacks among parents, students and teachers, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) and strong passwords, updating software/systems regularly as some of the effective ways to minimise such incidents.

Less than 10% of the over 50 crore over-the-top platform consumers in India pay for these services, Economic Times reports, citing an EY study. This is even as the consumer base of videos streaming platforms has increased significantly over the years.

Reasons for this are two-fold: One, family and friends often share passwords. On an average, around 3-3.5 people used one paid subscription last year, as per the EY report. Piracy is another challenge for the industry, which is a bigger concern of the two. “We are not too worried about password sharing, as it helps in increasing sampling and will increase our base in near future,” Danish Khan, EVP and business head, SonyLiv, told the daily.

The video streaming industry saw strong growth amid the pandemic as most people moved to working from home. According to a CII-BCG report, the OTT sector was worth $1.8-2.2 billion at the end of 2021 and is anticipated to grow to $13-15 billion by 2030.

COVID-19 has changed potential vehicle consumers’ preferences, Economic Times reports.

According to a recent Mobility Outlook survey of 2.56 lakh people, 4 in 5 buyers have postponed their plans to purchase a four-wheeler, while 2 in 5 two-wheeler customers are considering buying an electric vehicle (EV) this year.

This is because customers are currently prioritizing personal savings, given the financial burden caused as a result of the pandemic.

In fact, pre-owned cars are seeing strong demand, getting sold at a premium of 7-10% over 2020, according to experts.

For nearly seven in 10 (67%) IT product and services companies in India, skills and experience levels are more important than the degrees/educational background of candidates, The Economic Times reports, citing a recent survey by edtech startup Scaler.

Half of the 81 companies surveyed said that they are ready to hire a candidate from a non-computer science background and upskill them for tech roles through in-house training. Currently, 80% of IT and tech services companies have in-house upskilling programmes for employees, as per the report.

This shift comes on the back of fast-changing roles in tech, leading to rapid changes in skill requirements. For instance, according to the report, it's the toughest to find the right talent for roles such as full stack developer, DevOps engineer, and for roles in data science and machine learning. Organisations, therefore, are keen on recruiting people who have a holistic skill set and have a problem-solving and collaborative mindset.

"The shelf life of the existing employee skill sets are shortening by the day. In this new environment of pivot or perish, upskilling and reskilling is the only way to bridge this gap,” said Naren Krishna, business unit head of careers at Scaler and InterviewBit.

Besides in-house workshops, companies are also joining hands with universities offering digital and technical courses to upskill their employees.
