Fast-moving ecosystem a top GenAI-related risk for Indian enterprises: Thales study
artificial intelligence
(AI) is a top GenAI-related security risk, according to the findings of a survey conducted by French aerospace, defence and
cybersecurity
firm
Thales
.
The innovative use cases and applications of GenAI are rapidly cropping up across industries, and at the same time, GenAI-driven cyber attacks are on the rise which is making it burdensome for companies to build and implement security measures that can keep pace with the evolving threat landscape.
Other risks include a lack of integrity (66%) and trustworthiness (55%), Thales said in a report on Tuesday.
'The fast-evolving GenAI landscape is pressuring enterprises to move quickly, sometimes at the cost of caution, as they race to stay ahead of the adoption curve,' said Eric Hanselman, chief analyst at S&P Global Market Intelligence 451 Research.
'Many enterprises are deploying GenAI faster than they can fully understand their application architectures, compounded by the rapid spread of SaaS tools embedding GenAI capabilities, adding layers of complexity and risk,' Hanselman added.
Nonetheless, 72% of respondents in India are investing in GenAI-specific security tools, with 16% using newly allocated budget, as per the findings.
'Notably, security for
generative AI
has quickly risen as a top spending priority, securing the second spot in ranked-choice voting, just behind cloud security,' Thales said, adding that this shift underscores the growing recognition of AI-driven risks and the need for specialised defences to mitigate them.
'The clock is ticking on post-quantum readiness. It's encouraging that three out of five organisations are already prototyping new ciphers, but deployment timelines are tight and falling behind could leave critical data exposed,' said Todd Moore, global vice president (data security products), Thales, said.
'Even with clear timelines for transitioning to PQC algorithms, the pace of encryption change has been slower than expected due to a mix of legacy systems, complexity, and the challenge of balancing innovation with security,' Moore said.

Declarations by the prime minister on the next major reforms in GST by Diwali, is a big positive. The expectation is that most of the goods and services will be in the 5% and 18% tax slabs."He added that sectors like autos and cement which are presently in the 28% tax slabs are expected to the opening bell, Maruti Suzuki surged the most with a sharp gain of 7.14%, followed by Bajaj Finance up 4.79%, Mahindra & Mahindra adding 3.81%, and Bajaj Finserv climbing 3.48%.Losses were seen in a few heavyweights. Larsen & Toubro slipped 0.57%, ITC fell 0.43%, HCL Technologies declined 0.31%, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries dropped 0.20%, and Infosys edged lower by 0.11%. Early trade clearly showed strong buying in auto and financial stocks, while IT and pharma names dragged at the AUTO STOCKS ARE RISING?TVS Motors, Hero, Eicher, M&M and Maruti are likely to respond positively to the news. Insurance companies are also expected to benefit from the GST revision. S&P 500 upgrading India's sovereign credit rating is another major positive. But the market ignored this announcement since the negative news flows are also strong. India-US trade talks are unlikely to happen before August 27th deadline. The ' Trump Sword' of 50% tariff dangling on India will restrain the market enthusiasm which can be triggered by the positive news mentioned earlier. The outcome of today's meeting at the White House for finding a solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict will be keenly watched by the market.- Ends advertisement

Indian markets rally as Sensex jumps over 1,100 points, Nifty reclaims 25,000
CHENNAI: Indian stock markets opened the week on a strong note, lifted by two major positives—fresh reform signals from the government and an upgrade in India's sovereign credit rating. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the government will roll out next-generation GST reforms by Diwali 2025, aiming to rationalise tax rates in a meaningful way. Adding to the optimism, S&P Global Ratings upgraded India's sovereign rating from 'BBB-' to 'BBB' with a stable outlook, the first such upgrade in 18 years. The BSE Sensex surged 1,142 points, or 1.42%, to trade at 81,740, while the Nifty50 crossed the 25,000 mark for the first time since July 25, rising 388 points, or 1.58%, to 25,019. Autos and consumer shares led the rally. Hero MotoCorp gained nearly 8%, while Maruti Suzuki and TVS Motor advanced 6% and 5% respectively, pushing the Nifty Auto index higher by over 4%. The Nifty Consumer Durables index also added more than 3%. Financial stocks were another big driver. The Nifty Bank rose 1.18% and the Nifty Financial Services index climbed 1.67%, after S&P also upgraded the ratings of several leading banks and NBFCs, including SBI, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bajaj Finance, and Tata Capital. Broader markets moved in tandem, with the Nifty MidCap and SmallCap indices gaining around 1% each. On the flip side, IT and pharma stocks were under pressure. HCL Tech, Infosys, Wipro, Dr. Reddy's Labs, Sun Pharma, ONGC, ITC, and L&T were among the top laggards. Meanwhile, market volatility also picked up. The India VIX, often seen as a 'fear gauge', rose over 4%, reflecting higher short-term uncertainty. IPOs The basis of allotment for Regaal Resources' IPO will be finalised today. In the SME space, Studio LSD opened for public subscription. ANB Metal Cast and Medistep Healthcare debuted on the NSE SME platform, while Star Imaging and Path Lab listed on the BSE SME platform. Global cues also supported the rally. Reports of easing concerns over oil supplies following recent US–Russia discussions boosted sentiment, particularly for oil-importing economies like India. Overall, investors welcomed the sovereign rating upgrade and the government's reform roadmap, pushing Indian equities higher across sectors.
