For years, cybersecurity was largely viewed as the responsibility of the IT department, a technical discipline measured by firewalls, antivirus software and compliance checklists. That era is over. As businesses embrace cloud computing, artificial intelligence, open APIs and digital ecosystems, cyber risk has quietly evolved into one of the most significant enterprise risks facing organisations…
Artificial intelligence has rapidly moved from experimentation to execution. Across industries, organizations are embedding AI into customer service, fraud detection, underwriting, supply-chain planning, document processing, compliance monitoring, analytics, and internal decision-making. As adoption accelerates, discussions around AI risk have largely focused on visible concerns such as cybersecurity, privacy, bias, hallucinations, regulatory compliance, and ethical governance….
For years, ransomware was viewed as another cybersecurity threat, an unfortunate but manageable IT incident. That assumption is now dangerously outdated. The recent ransomware attack on Bajaj Auto, one of India’s largest automobile manufacturers, serves as yet another reminder that cybercriminals are no longer targeting just data. They are targeting production lines, research centres, supply…
For decades, manufacturers measured their greatest vulnerabilities in terms of supply chain disruptions, machinery failures and fluctuations in raw material prices. Today, however, an invisible threat has joined that list: cyber attacks capable of bringing entire production lines to a standstill within minutes. The modern factory has become one of the most attractive targets for…
For more than three decades, cybersecurity strategies have been built around a simple ambition: keep adversaries out. Organisations invested billions of dollars in firewalls, endpoint security, identity management, threat intelligence and increasingly sophisticated detection tools to build stronger digital fortresses. Yet the reality of the modern threat landscape has exposed an uncomfortable truth: prevention alone…
For years, cybersecurity was treated largely as a specialized technology responsibility delegated to IT teams and security leaders. Boards discussed it periodically. CEOs acknowledged it during crises. CISOs managed the operational complexity behind the scenes. As long as systems remained functional and major breaches stayed out of headlines, cyber risk often remained compartmentalized within technology…
For years, cyber security discussions in boardrooms largely revolved around prevention. Build stronger perimeters. Invest in better firewalls. Detect breaches faster. Recover systems quickly. That framework is now evolving into something broader and far more consequential. The global conversation is increasingly shifting from cyber security towards digital operational resilience, the ability of an organisation not…
For years, cybersecurity was treated as a technical function: delegated to the CISO, discussed in IT sub-committees and reviewed primarily through the lens of compliance. That era is decisively over. In today’s environment of AI-enabled threats, geopolitical cyber spillovers and digitally intertwined supply chains, cyber resilience has become a CEO-level metric, one that increasingly defines…
The year 2025 has witnessed a significant surge in cyberattacks, impacting critical sectors and economies worldwide. Notably, incidents such as the cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and the disruption of Collins Aerospace’s systems have underscored the vulnerabilities in global supply chains and the interconnectedness of modern industries. This article delves into the short-term and…
A new report by Fortinet and IDC paints a sobering picture of India’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, driven by the rise of AI-enabled attacks and a growing gap between risk and readiness. The study based on responses from 550 IT and security leaders across 11 Asia-Pacific markets, including India highlights a shift in the nature,…
