New Delhi [India], July 16: As organizations face an increasing wave of cyber threats capable of attacking multiple systems within hours, EY India today announced the launch of EY Cyber Performance Management (CPM); first integrated cyber platform developed by a professional services firm. CPM combines AI and cybersecurity on a single platform while ensuring data sovereignty, cost efficiency, and full operational control. Designed to help organizations identify and address cyber threats before attacks occur, it provides the necessary decision intelligence that highlights what is exploitable, how attacks could chain across systems, what leads to business risk and where the impact will ultimately land. By translating exposure into financial insights, it enables decision intelligence
- Enables organisations to analyse, measure and govern cyber risk through a single window framework
- Drives 30–50% faster response times and up to 65% analyst efficiency gains, with integration across 50+ security tool
Rohan Sachdev, Partner and Consulting Leader, EY India, said, “As cyber risk grows in scale and AI reshapes the business landscape, organisations need an approach that goes beyond fragmented tools and siloed decision-making. EY Cyber Performance Management is designed to address this market gap by bringing together enterprise-grade AI, integrated visibility and risk quantification in a unified platform. It enables organisations to translate cyber exposure into clear business outcomes, empowering CXOs to prioritise decisively, act with speed and build resilient, future-ready organizations.”
CPM delivers measurable impact across complex enterprise environments by transforming fragmented security operations into intelligence-led decisioning. With seamless integration across 50+ security tools, the platform enables organizations to unify visibility and act with speed and precision. Clients have reported a 45–60% reduction in alert noise, 30–50% faster response times, and 50–65% improvement in analyst efficiency, alongside a 30–50% reduction in mean time to respond. In addition, organizations are achieving 45–55% reduction in total cost of ownership by consolidating 5–8 disparate tools, while reaching up to 90% regulatory audit readiness.
Murali Rao, Partner and Cyber Leader, EY India, said, “Today cyber risk has evolved into a critical business issue with the potential to escalate in hours across systems. Many organizations still lack clear, real time visibility into what they are exposed to and how quickly that exposure can translate into impact. These gaps are increasingly resulting in tangible financial and regulatory consequences. CPM addresses this challenge by bringing clarity and financial context to cyber risk, enabling defenders, board and regulators to take timely, informed and defensible decisions before threats turn into losses.”

Blum Reflects on Historic India Mission and Martin Blum’s Meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi
New Delhi [India], July 14: A major free trade agreement concluded between India and the European Union quickly sparked a fresh wave of business moves. Capitalising on these major diplomatic shifts, the Blum Group’s global leadership travelled to India to secure the Austrian brand’s long-term commercial goals inside the country’s expanding economic landscape.
Austrian Federal Chancellor Dr Christian Stocker came over to India for an official trade visit. Blum Group’s Managing Director, Martin Blum, and Maarten de Vries, Regional Director for Blum Asia Pacific, travelled directly as part of his official business delegation to represent Blum as this new phase between the two countries began. The team hit a major high point when Martin Blum joined Federal Chancellor Dr Christian Stocker to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
This visit comes after Philipp Blum, also a Managing Director of the Blum Group, travelled to India in 2025. His initial travel focused on setting up the groundwork to reinforce the brand’s local position. While Blum was already operating from a strong, established position in India well before this year’s delegation arrived, this April itinerary actively builds upon that existing foundation. Elevating this partnership further, the executive team also joined the India–Austria Business Forum and held talks with the Ministry of Commerce.
“Every generation has its own challenges and chances. For us, it is about valuing what happened in the past because we are very thankful for this strong generational foundation that we can build on,” said Martin Blum. “That stability is why we look at India for the long run. Our focus goes far beyond the next few years; we are building a partnership that Indian families can rely on for generations. The idea is that when someone buys Blum fittings, they know they’re going to last for the lifetime of the furniture. Quality and reliability are simply in our DNA.”
Blum is backing this regional growth with permanent structural investments into a comprehensive domestic network. The company is establishing a nationwide system of Experience Centres, Solutions Centres and Inspiration Centres, expanding after-sales service, and running dedicated training hubs for Indian furniture makers and design professionals. These Blum centres serve as interactive spaces where the local furniture industry and everyday furniture users can engage directly with Blum’s quality innovations and services.
Maarten de Vries currently manages local operations as the acting managing director of Blum India, conducting monthly visits to oversee this scaling. Reflecting on the week-long mission, de Vries highlighted the country’s extraordinary development pace.
“India is developing heavily,” said Maarten de Vries. “We focus on listening very carefully to find out what our customers actually need. Value is different for everyone. We take our wide range of products and tailor them down to meet those individual needs to truly serve the Indian market.”
The trade itinerary also included a stop at Blum’s Mumbai office, hosting Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer, Austrian Federal Minister for Economy, Energy and Tourism, alongside Austrian Ambassador to India, Robert Zischg. This gave the regional staff an ideal opportunity to introduce the delegates to their “Orange Heartbeat”—the distinct company culture, internal drive, and passion for precision manufacturing that underpins their hardware.
Blum aims to integrate its Austrian engineering background directly into local households, establishing a lasting footprint in how people set up their living environments. The objective is to make certain Blum stays a reliable staple inside Indian residences for decades. As Martin Blum noted, the goal is simply to deliver a better quality of living that makes life better for years to come.
