Indian firms struggle with AI-enhanced cyber attacks and internal gaps

Cisco’s latest report highlights a growing cybersecurity challenge for Indian businesses, revealing that over one-third of cyber incidents now involve AI-enhanced attacks. This trend underscores the evolving threat landscape and the need for more robust defenses. However, internal coordination remains a critical weak point, with only 40% of organizations reporting that their security, networking, and IT teams operate as a unified unit.

Fragmented data and poor communication with leadership further complicate responses to cyber threats. Despite AI improving detection and response efficiency, only 40% of organizations have extensively deployed AI agents in their security operations. This gap suggests that many firms are still lagging in adopting advanced technologies to counter sophisticated attacks.
