The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), India's markets regulator, has issued an advisory on emerging AI-driven vulnerability detection tools. The advisory comes as a warning that the use of these tools could introduce new cybersecurity risks for regulated entities.

Task Force Established

Reporting Cyber Incidents

As part of its efforts to enhance cybersecurity, SEBI has directed market infrastructure institutes and other intermediaries to report cyberattacks, vulnerabilities, and malicious activities on a priority basis. This move aims to facilitate swift action in the event of a cyber incident and prevent potential losses.

The task force will also play a crucial role in reporting cyber incidents, malicious activities, and system vulnerabilities to SEBI. This information will be used to refine the cybersecurity framework and ensure that India's securities markets remain secure and resilient.
