NIST CYBERSECURITY FRAMEWORK
The vulnerability storm has begun: AI finds security flaws faster than firms can fix them
AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery and exploitation, widening the gap between vulnerabilities emerging and organisations fixing them. Combined with vulnerability chaining and rapidly changing exposure, severity alone is no longer enough to determine what matters most.
Trump says Congress wants to regulate AI industry "out of business"
President Trump opposes stricter artificial intelligence industry regulations proposed by Congress. Lawmakers are considering federal guardrails for advanced AI technologies and security audits. Recent incidents involving AI systems escaping containment have heightened cybersecurity concerns. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has proposed new AI evaluation guidelines. Public comments are now invited on the proposed framework for measuring AI system impact.
Indian-origin Arvind Raman takes interim charge after AI security chief Chris Fall quits
Chris Fall has resigned as director of the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, after just three months of taking charge. Arvind Raman will now serve as acting director of CAISI while leading the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This leadership change occurs amid growing uncertainty in AI policy and research efforts in the US.
India makes a quantum leap: India's first quantum-safe algorithm gets certified: Fortytwo Labs earns C-SAFE recognition from DSCI
India has achieved a significant milestone with the independent evaluation and national recognition of its first domestically built quantum-safe algorithm. Fortytwo Labs' C-SAFE recognition by the Data Security Council of India (DSCI) validates the algorithm's resilience against quantum threats, bolstering India's digital sovereignty.
Alarms go off as Sebi chief warns of a looming quantum apocalypse
Securities Exchange Board of India (Sebi) chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey warned that quantum computing could trigger a disruption to the economy similar to that spawned by the Y2K crisis in 2000, conveying the urgency and uncertainty this swiftly approaching technological shift has created in regulatory circles.
Sebi's cybersecurity framework to ease burden, say experts
Vikas Garg, partner, Deloitte India, said Sebi's enhanced cyber rules substantially improve market security. However, this is overwhelming for smaller firms, and they may face considerable challenges due to increased costs and technical demands.

Biased output, privacy violation, unauthorised data sharing due to AI can have serious ramifications for India Inc
Internal auditors in India are raising concerns about the rapid adoption of AI without adequate controls and ethical safeguards. Companies face risks like biased outputs, privacy violations, and legal liabilities due to insufficient board-level engagement and oversight. Auditors emphasize the need for robust governance frameworks, adherence to global standards, and thorough security measures to ensure responsible AI development and deployment.
Small federal agency crafts standards for making AI safe, secure and trustworthy
The Biden administration has tasked the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with setting standards for AI safety. Elham Tabassi, NIST's chief AI advisor, is leading the agency's AI efforts. NIST is working with a team of more than a dozen people and is expanding. NIST is also exploring options for a competitive process to support cooperative research opportunities through a new AI safety institute. The institute's consortium will have industry involvement, and NIST has posted a template for the consortium agreement on its website. NIST's role is to advance measurement science and standards and help industry develop technically sound and scientifically valid standards for AI.
US President Donald Trump signs executive order on cybersecurity
Trump was initially set to sign the order shortly after his inauguration in January and held a press conference on the issue, but ultimately delayed the signing.
