In a world where the boundary between work and leisure is increasingly blurred, digital nomads have redefined the traditional employment terrain. It is indeed enticing to travel to exotic places while earning a living; hence, many Indians have embraced the lifestyle of digital nomadism. This notwithstanding, it is important to point out that in as much as these audacious globetrotters commence their journey around the globe, there is an underlying cyber security threat within this digital realm.
India’s diverse landscapes, rich culture, and thriving digital ecosystem are making it an increasingly favourite destination for digital nomads. However, this way of life poses some inherent issues around cybersecurity, which individuals must deal with if they are to secure their online presence and keep safe some confidential information. The following points underscore the key factors that Indian digital nomadic people have to put into consideration as they strive towards having a secure and worthwhile nomadic journey. India has witnessed cases of cybercrime ranging from phishing attacks to data breaches, which are becoming more frequent by the day. Awareness about the current landscape of cyber threats in India will help Indian digital nomads understand what kind of risks they face and how best to protect themselves online.
