As many as 96 per cent of organisations in India suffered a material, business-disrupting cyber incident over the past 12 months, with more than one in three involving artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced attacks, according to a report released by technology major Cisco.
The study highlighted that internal organisational friction - including bureaucratic approval delays, fragmented data, and disconnected teams - represents a greater impediment to strengthening cyber defences than technological limitations.

Trump said Tuesday that top tech leaders signed a voluntary accord to "self-police" AI development.
The governor signed a law this month requiring operators of
