Committed to excellence, Eventus Security works closely with clients to understand their unique challenges and craft tailored strategies that address their specific security needs. In a chat with VARINDIA, Manish Chasta, Co-founder & CTO, Eventus Security highlights the key security challenges, the role of AI & ML, strategies for building resilient cybersecurity infrastructure etc.

Key security challenges
Manish feels India's cybersecurity landscape in 2024 is grappling with several critical challenges. Notably, ransomware attacks have surged, placing India among the top three countries most affected by such attacks. Supply chain attacks, exemplified by incidents like SolarWinds and Kaseya, have also become more frequent, underlining the severe impact these malicious activities can cause. Manish emphasizes that the recent CrowdStrike incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for heightened vigilance.

As India positions itself as the epicenter of AI, security issues related to AI adoption are emerging as significant challenges. The rapid digital transformation across sectors and the proliferation of connected devices have expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals. This is compounded by a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, making it difficult for organizations to effectively manage and respond to threats.
He points out, “In recent years, the cybersecurity landscape has evolved to address these challenges. There has been a shift towards more proactive and integrated security approaches, with an emphasis on continuous monitoring and real-time threat detection. Emerging technologies like AI and machine learning are increasingly being leveraged to enhance threat intelligence and automate response processes. This evolution reflects a growing recognition of the need for dynamic and adaptive security solutions to counter the ever-changing threat environment. As India continues to lead in AI innovation, ensuring robust cybersecurity measures will be paramount in safeguarding its digital future.”

The Role of AI and ML in Transforming Cybersecurity
The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has significantly transformed India's cybersecurity landscape. According to Manish, AI has become a default component in most cybersecurity technologies, allowing organizations to process vast amounts of data more efficiently and identify potential threats with greater accuracy. By detecting unusual patterns and anomalies, AI and ML algorithms enable faster and more precise threat detection and response.

Manish also highlights the role of AI-driven automation in reducing the burden on cybersecurity teams. He says, “AI-driven automation also reduces the burden on cybersecurity teams by handling routine tasks such as log analysis and incident correlation, freeing up valuable resources for more strategic activities like threat hunting and investigation. Furthermore, predictive analytics powered by AI enhances security measures by anticipating emerging threats and providing proactive defense strategies. These advancements have made India's cybersecurity infrastructure more agile and resilient. The integration of AI and ML has improved the nation's ability to respond to evolving threats, ensuring a stronger and more robust defense against cyberattacks.”

Strategies for Building Resilient Cybersecurity Infrastructure
Eventus Security emphasizes the importance of maintaining visibility across the entire enterprise to effectively monitor and secure network assets. “In the modern perimeter-less enterprise landscape, where identity has emerged as the new perimeter, securing identity is crucial. This involves implementing a robust strategy for identity management, including continuous monitoring, regular updates, and strong authentication measures to prevent unauthorized access.

Achieving comprehensive visibility into all network activities and assets is essential for identifying and mitigating potential threats. Regularly identifying critical assets and potential risks helps prioritize security efforts and protect vital resources. Employing Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) allows for a proactive approach in assessing and managing risks effectively, ensuring that defenses remain robust and adaptive,” asserts Manish.

Contributing to the security ecosystem
Eventus Security has significantly advanced the cybersecurity ecosystem by leveraging innovation and expertise to address critical industry challenges. Manish comments, “Our proprietary AI-powered "Eventus Platform" is designed to reduce Mean Time to Detect (MTTD), Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), and Mean Time to Patch (MTTP), addressing key industry pain points. This platform offers a centralized solution that provides unified visibility and protection against sophisticated cyber threats, supporting managed SOC, managed XDR, cyber resilience, ransomware emergency response, incident response, and more.”
