India: Fast AI Adoption Leader Globally
Indian quick turns out to be the front-runner market to embrace artificial intelligence for the future as 23% of Indian businesses have adopted AI-based solutions and this happens to be the highest anywhere. Deep commitment towards a 'digital-first' way drives this momentum-the view of a new Business Technology Report 2024, presented by CPA Australia in association with ASSOCHAM.
Apart from that, the report indicates that by 2025, 73% of the Indian businesses would increase the applications of AI, which is highly significant and well above the global average of 52%. That indeed calls for a very aggressive move showing the commitment of India to make business more efficient with AI, highly automated and innovative.
Instead, embracing AI technology not only encompasses but also promotes becoming a game changer, enhances Indian cybersecurity stature, and becomes the foundation upon which international ties build a better Indian AI-pregnant economy.
AI And Cybersecurity-Development of Infrastructure Security in Digital India
Indian businesses are not only using AI for automating the tasks and streamlining processes but also for boosting cybersecurity. According to the report of CPA Australia, 60% of Indian firms will improve their cybersecurity with AI in the next year, way ahead of the global average of 47%.
Why AI in Cybersecurity Matters
Real-time threat detection makes AI detect and neutralize cyber threats in an instant.
Automatic security controls are monitored to detect malicious activity and take appropriate countermeasures much faster than humans.
Predictive analysis enables AI/ML-based cybersecurity solutions to analyze historical data as an input for potential cyber threats and act upon it.
This proactive AI-based model places India at the forefront of global cybersecurity developments, thus safeguarding businesses against cyber threats as they scale operations and implement all-encompassing digital transformation.
