Regulated entities in the securities market are advised to strengthen cyber resilience against AI-driven vulnerability detection tools by updating systems and applications promptly, using virtual patching where needed, and conducting regular vulnerability assessments, security audits, and scenario-based risk assessments. They should coordinate with third-party vendors to release and deploy patches, harden systems, secure APIs through authentication, authorization, rate limiting and whitelisting, and maintain continuous SOC monitoring with tested SOAR/SIEM responses. The advisory also requires updated asset inventories and software bills of materials, onboarding to the Market SOC where applicable, and long-term planning for AI use in detection and autonomous mitigation, in line with SEBI's cyber security framework.
