72% of Indian Firms Targeted by AI-Driven Cyberattacks Last Year: Report
- According to a report by Fortinet and IDC released on Sunday, close to three-quarters of Indian organizations experienced cyberattacks powered by artificial intelligence over the last year.
- The report warns that AI has become a new weapon for cybercriminals, enabling faster and more sophisticated attacks that exploit gaps in human behavior and infrastructure.
- In India, prevalent AI-related cyber risks encompass attacks such as credential stuffing, deepfake email impersonation, polymorphic malware, and supply chain compromises, yet just 14% of organizations express a high level of confidence in their ability to counter these sophisticated threats.
- The survey found that 36% of firms admit AI threats outpace detection, 21% lack tracking systems, and 56% suffered breach-related financial loss, with some breaches costing over US$500,000.
- Fortinet is helping Indian enterprises transition from fragmented defenses to integrated, AI-enhanced security solutions that prioritize user verification, system robustness, and controlled access to better anticipate and counter cyber threats.
