Sitharaman asks financial sector to be ‘exceptionally vigilant’ on cybersecurity

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday urged all entities in the financial sector to be ‘exceptionally vigilant’ on cybersecurity.

Without naming Mythos, the newly minted platform from leading AI company Anthropic, Sitharaman said artificial intelligence tools were making cyberattacks faster and more adaptive.

“Such tools can also evade detection by deploying tactics like automated discovery of system vulnerabilities and malicious source-code interference,” she added.
