Organisational Friction Slows Down Cyber Defences Amidst AI-Driven Threats

Cisco's latest Relentless Defence Report highlights a widening gap between the speed of AI-enhanced cyber threats and security teams' ability to respond.

The report found that 91% of organisations globally and 96% in India experienced a material, business-disrupting cyber incident in the past 12 months, with over one-third involving an AI-enhanced attack.

Security practitioners identified organisational capabilities as key areas for improvement, citing coordination, approvals, and access to data as major challenges.
