CERT-In alerts MSMEs to AI-powered cyberattacks

India's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a warning to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) about escalating cybersecurity threats powered by artificial intelligence. The advisory highlights how attackers are increasingly leveraging AI tools to conduct sophisticated attacks against small businesses, which often lack robust security infrastructure. CERT-In recommends MSMEs implement enhanced security measures, conduct regular employee training on cyber threats, and establish incident response protocols. The warning emphasizes that AI-driven attacks can be more targeted and difficult to detect than traditional methods. Businesses are urged to stay vigilant and report suspicious activities to authorities. Source: The Cyber Express.
