Focus should extend beyond compliance and towards enhancing real-time protection

GROUP CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER, SFO TECHNOLOGIES PVT. LTD. (NEST GROUP)

“There has been enormous progress made in addressing evolving threats, but despite that gaps evolve. Even organizations that comply with audits and regulations often experience breaches due to vulnerabilities in attack surfaces. We ensure compliance with strict regulations through continuous audits, data encryption, and multi-layered access control. Periodic VAPT and red teaming exercises are conducted to uncover vulnerabilities. However, the focus extends beyond compliance—toward meaningful actions that enhance real-time protection and adapt to threats in hybrid and cloud environments.

AI/ML TOOLS TO ENHANCE CYBERSECURITY DEFENSES

AI/ML technologies are pivotal in detecting and neutralizing threats faster than traditional methods. These tools analyze vast datasets for anomalies, predict vulnerabilities, and strengthen threat intelligence. For example, machine learning algorithms monitor user behaviors and flag suspicious activities, while AI enhances automation in threat response. However, we recognize that AI/ML solutions must evolve in tandem with attackers' sophistication, necessitating constant updates and human oversight for maximum efficacy.”
