Rajesh Nambiar said AI now needs more than just conventional cybersecurity to stay safe. As AI enters banking, healthcare, and defence, organisations must protect foundation models and proprietary data. We must build trust and infrastructure together because these new autonomous agents can access systems and execute real-world actions for us.

Every technology cycle throws up a moment when trust and infrastructure must be built at the same time. As AI embeds itself into banking, healthcare, government and defence, security can no longer be treated as just conventional cybersecurity. Organisations must protect not only traditional networks, applications and endpoints, but also foundation models, proprietary data, specialised AI applications and, increasingly, autonomous agents that can interpret instructions, access systems and execute real-world actions.
