Recent advances in AI technologies have granted organizations and individuals alike unprecedented productivity, efficiency, and operational benefits. AI is, without question, the single most exciting emerging technology in the world. However, it also brings enormous risks. While the dystopian, AI-ruled worlds of sci-fi films are a long way off, AI is helping cyber threat actors launch attacks at a hitherto unknown scale and level of sophistication. But what are AI-powered attacks?

For organizations handling sensitive data, finding a secure and efficient way to test data protection solutions is crucial. The Protegrity API Playground offers a straightforward way to test Protegrity’s data protection features. The Playground grants you 10,000 API requests after registration to use as you see fit: protecting names, addresses, credit card numbers – or any other data your organization considers secure.

Since 2015, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced several cybersecurity and cyber resilience frameworks to address evolving cybersecurity risks and strengthen the resilience of regulated entities (REs).
