Executive summary
Government of India’s recent demonetisation in November 2016 and the ‘Digital India’ initiative, launched in 2015 have provided
substantial boost to the country’s digital ecosystem. With initiatives such as ‘DigiShala’, the government aims at building
a conducive ecosystem for ‘cashless economy’; other initiatives such as the National Optical Fibre Network (NFON) and
introduction of Unified Payments Interface (UPI), Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM- internet based mobile application) can help
support in faster adoption and transition to digital payments.
However, this sudden surge and change in end user profile has led to various challenges in the digital payment ecosystem.
Cybersecurity is one of the most critical challenges faced by stakeholders of the digital payment ecosystem. With more and more
users preferring digital payments, the chances of getting exposed to cybersecurity risks such as online fraud, information theft,
and malware or virus attacks are also increasing. Lack of awareness and poor digital payment ecosystem are some of the primary
reasons that have led to the increase in these attacks.
A robust regulatory framework, an effective customer redressal framework, fool proof security measures to enable confidence
and trust, incentives for larger participation and benefits similar to cash transactions i.e. ease of use, universal acceptability,
perceived low cost of transaction, convenience and immediate settlement, are some measures that can help ensure long-term
success for digital payments.
We conducted a survey to understand India’s perspective on the cybersecurity concerns around digital payments. Below are the
key findings from the survey -

About the survey
We recently conducted a survey with an aim to provide the industry with a reference point that sheds light on key aspects such
as acceptance, barriers, challenges and awareness of digital payments ecosystem post demonetisation. This survey seeks views
from various customers and users across different sectors on cybersecurity in digital payment ecosystem post demonetisation.
The content of the survey is derived from the responses of the participants and is complemented by insights from our experts in
cyber forensic.

The recent demonetisation introduced by the government in November 2016, and following drive towards launch of policy level
changes (such as merchant and consumer reward programmes for using digital payments instruments) and assets (e.g. BHIM
mobile application) has turbo charged the digital payment adoption landscape.
It would be fair to say that the existing adoptions levels and several macroeconomic factors indicate that ingredients for
successful creation of a thriving digital ecosystem are rapidly falling in place in India.

Way forward
With demonetisation, millions of Indians have enrolled for digital payments with mobile payments being the most preferred
mode. With such surge in the volume and number of transactions, it is unlikely that the cybercriminals would not be interested.
Hence, securing digital payments infrastructure becomes one of the most important concerns for banks and payment service
providers such as digital wallet providers. With the use of online payments going up, the incidents on misuse of payments
