Fortinet report warns India’s cybersecurity skills gap is worsening despite AI adoption

Fortinet’s 2025 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report highlights deepening security challenges in India, even as organisations accelerate their use of AI to strengthen cyber defence . According to the report, 92 percent of Indian organisations suffered at least one breach in 2024, and over a third reported five or more. More than half of IT leaders cited a lack of cybersecurity skills and training as a leading cause of incidents, while 60 percent said breaches cost them more than 1 million dollars.

AI tools are now widely deployed, and 82 percent of cybersecurity professionals expect AI to support rather than replace their roles. However, 52 percent of organisations say they lack the in-house AI expertise needed to use these systems effectively, increasing the risk of misuse and poorly implemented tools.

Board-level attention to cybersecurity is rising, yet understanding of AI-related risks still lags. With 98 percent of employers preferring certified hires and fewer organisations funding training, Fortinet warns that India must prioritise upskilling to avoid escalating financial and operational risks.
