Indian companies are rapidly adopting AI, but could this also increase the risk of cyberattacks? A study has revealed important insights into data security and technical challenges associated with the growing use of AI.
Indian companies use AI.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way companies operate. Indian companies are also rapidly expanding their use of AI in their operations. A growing number of organizations are incorporating it into their business strategies. However, adopting this technology also presents challenges such as data security, compliance with government regulations, and improving legacy technology systems.
A recent study by Dell Technologies revealed that nearly 70% of Indian companies are prioritizing AI in their work. The report shows that AI use is increasing, but implementing it securely on a large scale is challenging for companies. So, let's explore whether this will increase the risk of cyberattacks.
Will this also increase the risk of cyber attacks?
As companies increase their use of AI in their operations, they acquire large amounts of data and digital systems that must be kept secure. If security gaps remain in these systems, cybercriminals can exploit them to steal data or harm the system. Therefore, in addition to adopting AI, it becomes essential for companies to also take measures to protect data and prevent cyberattacks. According to the report, to adopt AI and digitize their operations, Indian companies are seeking technologies that can support them in managing data, technical infrastructure, and security.
Existing data centers are falling short for AI.
According to the report, more than 60 percent of Indian companies believe that their existing data centers are not capable of handling large-scale AI-related tasks. Therefore, companies need to revamp their technical infrastructure and adapt it to AI requirements.
AI and data security in corporate operations
The use of AI is increasing in Indian companies. According to the report, Indian companies are now using AI and generative AI more than ever in their operations, although security and regulatory issues are hindering this. Many companies reported that these issues have delayed or temporarily halted their AI projects. Most survey respondents said they are reluctant to start a new project without preparing for the benefits and risks associated with AI.
