India’s Finance Minister has called on the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to deepen global cooperation and harness artificial intelligence (AI) for enhanced cyber risk management in capital markets.
According to the report, the emphasis is on strengthening cross-border regulatory collaboration to address increasingly interconnected financial risks. As capital flows become more globalised, coordinated efforts between regulators are essential to ensure market stability and investor protection.
The Finance Minister also highlighted the importance of leveraging AI and advanced technologies to detect and mitigate cyber threats. With the growing digitalisation of financial markets, cyber risks such as data breaches, fraud, and system vulnerabilities have become more sophisticated.
AI-driven tools can enable real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and predictive risk assessment, improving the ability of regulators and market participants to respond to threats proactively. This aligns with broader efforts to modernise regulatory frameworks and enhance resilience.
From a governance perspective, the use of AI requires robust oversight, clear accountability, and adherence to data protection norms. Ensuring transparency and ethical use of technology is critical for maintaining trust in financial systems.
From a risk management standpoint, integrating AI into regulatory processes can significantly strengthen cybersecurity preparedness and operational resilience.
The development underscores India’s focus on building a secure, technology-driven financial ecosystem supported by global collaboration and advanced risk management practices.
