AI, identity, real-time payments resetting cyber threat landscape: Report

The rapid transformation of banking and financial services is creating a fundamentally new cyber threat landscape, according to a report that argues traditional security models are no longer sufficient to serve today's interconnected ecosystems. The Digital Threat Report 2025-26, released on Monday, notes that conventional cybersecurity architectures were designed around centralised systems where trust boundaries were defined. Today's financial ecosystem, however, is built around interconnected platforms, embedded finance, AI-driven decision-making and real-time payments, dramatically expanding the attack surface, says the new report by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), the Computer Security Incident Response Team in Finance (CSIRT-Fin) and SISA. "Modern financial attacks are moving from direct compromise to trust-chain manipulation across biometric onboarding, partner apps, AI decisioning, real-time ..

AI cannot replace human compassion: Rajnath Singh to budding doctors

Artificial Intelligence is bringing rapid progress in medical sciences but it cannot replace human compassion, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, urging budding doctors to work with empathy towards patients and their families. Addressing the 22nd convocation ceremony of King George's Medical University in his Lok Sabha constituency, Lucknow, the minister said new technologies such as artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, gene editing and precision medicine are transforming both the direction and the landscape of healthcare.
