Indian Cybersecurity Firms Use AI Amid Rising Threats from Advanced Models Like Mythos

Indian cybersecurity firms are deploying AI agents built on large language models to accelerate detection and remediation of software vulnerabilities from days to hours, addressing the shrinking window for human response as cyberattacks occur at machine speed. This shift is driven by emerging AI models like Anthropic's Claude Mythos, which can identify unknown software flaws and potentially expedite cyberattacks. The Indian government and financial sector are responding with high-level meetings and frameworks for real-time threat sharing to mitigate these unprecedented risks.
