MUMBAI, India – Day 2 at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit in Mumbai discussed insights on AI’s impact on cybersecurity, with analysts discussing securing AI apps and improving cyber resilience in 2025.
“Assess current CTI program and processes to identify areas where AI can enhance operations, aiming to automate 25% of manual work done in the CTI lifecycle by the end of the year. Use AI processing to analyze CTI inputs to assign criticality, risk, and prioritization. This will reduce false positives, investigation time, and address some CTI skills gaps,” said Steve Santos, Sr Director Analyst at Gartner, highlighting AI’s role in automating 25% of manual cyber threat intelligence (CTI) tasks by year-end.
Data security trends were also a focus during the summit. “Security leaders must adapt by investing in synthetic data tools, prioritizing unstructured data security, and employing technologies such as data security posture management (DSPM) for data governance,” said Deepti Gopal, Director Analyst at Gartner.
Gartner predicts 16.4% growth in spending on information security by Indian enterprises in 2025, reaching USD 3.3 billion. The highest growth in security services is expected at 19% as demand for managed security functions rises with a shortage of talent.
“As the threat landscape becomes increasingly complex and the human element plays a larger role, leaders are focusing on embedding resilience to strengthen organizations’ ability to respond to and recover from inevitable attacks. Organizations must aim for a “target zone of optimization”- a balance that procurement, security architects, security engineers, and other stakeholders are satisfied with to maintain the right security posture,” Gopal advised.
AI has rapidly been adopted into enterprise environments; with this, increasing concern about data security is becoming evident. This is forcing organizations to prioritize advanced data protection solutions. Gartner states that by 2026, 75% of enterprises with GenAI initiatives will pivot away from structured data security and focus on unstructured data security.
The Gartner analysis also warned that CISOs must address the risk of burnout. “CISOs must proactively address personal and team burnout. Gartner predicts that by 2027, CISOs investing in cybersecurity-specific personal resilience programming will see 50% less burnout-related attrition than peers who don’t,” Gopal stated.
