In AI security, the best defence is a great offense
By Chaim Mazal, CISO, GitLab
India recorded 265.52 million threat detections across 8 million endpoints in 2025, and the number keeps climbing despite increased security investments. At the same time, the level of expertise an attacker needs to run a sophisticated attack continues to fall. Advanced AI models allow attackers to scan an organisation’s entire footprint, surface gaps in real time, and generate an attack for each one – faster than most teams can respond.
For defenders, the challenge is clear: our current security approaches were not built for adversaries compounding their speed and scale this quickly. Gartner forecasts that Indian organisations will spend $3.4 billion on information security in 2026, up 11.7% from last year, as they respond to increasingly sophisticated AI driven threats. But if that spend doesn’t translate into an impactful strategy that actually keeps pace with attackers, organisations risk falling further behind while absorbing the consequences...
