AI adoption in cybersecurity surges across India

Bengaluru, Nov 6 (UNI) Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a core part of cybersecurity operations in India, with 94% of organizations already deploying AI to detect, respond to, and predict cyber threats, according to a 2025 survey by IDC commissioned by Fortinet.
The survey highlighted that AI is no longer limited to detection. Enterprises are using AI for predictive threat modelling, automated incident response, AI-driven threat intelligence, and behavioural analytics.
Generative AI is increasingly applied for updating policies, drafting detection rules, and guiding investigations, though fully autonomous remediation is not widely implemented.
The findings also revealed a growing challenge from AI-enabled cyber attacks. Seventy-two percent of organizations reported facing AI-powered threats in the past year, with many observing a two- to three-fold increase in attack volumes.
The shift towards AI-first cybersecurity is also reshaping workforce requirements. Security data scientists, AI engineers, threat intelligence analysts, and AI-focused incident response professionals are in high demand.
However, cybersecurity teams remain under-resourced, with only 6% of workforce allocation dedicated to IT and a fraction focused on security.
Consolidation and convergence are emerging as strategic priorities. Nearly 88% of organizations are merging security with networking, while 74% are considering vendor rationalisation to improve integration, efficiency, and security posture.
Simon Piff, Research Vice-President, IDC Asia-Pacific, said, “Organizations are embedding AI across detection, incident response, and team design, marking a new phase of security operations.” Vivek Srivastava, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Fortinet, added, “Budgets, teams, and strategies now revolve around AI to ensure faster detection, smarter response, and resilient operations.”
The survey covered 550 IT and security leaders across 11 Asia-Pacific markets, representing organizations with over 250 employees, conducted between February and April 2025.
