Business Standard · business

A Cisco report reveals that 96% of Indian organizations experienced significant cyber incidents in the past year, with over a third involving AI-enhanced attacks. Internal issues like bureaucracy and data fragmentation hinder cyber defenses more than technology limits. India scored 66 out of 100, slightly above the global average, but only 8% of firms qualified as top defenders. Operational silos and communication gaps with leadership are critical vulnerabilities, impacting threat detection and response.
