This indicates cybersecurity preparedness remains low as hyper-connectivity and artificial intelligence (AI) introduces new complexities for security practitioners, said the global technology firm.

“AI opens up new possibilities, but adds complexity to a challenging security landscape, with only 7% of organisations in Thailand achieving a mature level of readiness this year,” said Weera Areeratanasak, managing director of Cisco Thailand and Myanmar.

The index assesses cybersecurity readiness across five pillars: identity intelligence, network resilience, machine trustworthiness, cloud reinforcement and AI fortification encompassing 31 solutions and capabilities.
