India's digital payments ecosystem is transforming at an unprecedented pace. Fueled by the rapid adoption of UPI, open banking frameworks, embedded finance, and cloud-native payment applications, billions of transactions now flow through software-driven platforms every month. But as innovation accelerates, a critical question emerges: Is payment software evolving securely enough to keep pace with the threats targeting it?

Threat actors are aggressively targeting application layers through API exploits, software supply chain injections, and sophisticated digital skimming. With the enforcement of India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, a single software vulnerability is no longer just a technical glitch, it is a massive financial, legal, and reputational liability.

In this webinar, we will explore why payment applications have become a preferred target for cybercriminals and the realities of securing them in today's rapidly evolving ecosystem. From APIs and third-party dependencies to cloud-native architectures and continuous release cycles, we will examine the risks that often go unnoticed until they are exploited. Drawing on insights from 85+ successful engagements, we will discuss recurring patterns, lessons learned, and practical approaches that help organizations enhance resilience, reduce exposure, and strengthen trust in their payment software.
