Sajjanar urges banks, digital platforms to strengthen cybersecurity

Hyderabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar has called upon banks, financial institutions and digital service platforms to strengthen their cybersecurity infrastructure in view of increasingly complex cybercrime incidents and evolving threats from artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted attacks.

He said entities handling citizens’ financial transactions and sensitive personal data, including banks, financial institutions,



quick-commerce companies and mobility platforms, must upgrade their security systems, processes and technical manpower to tackle sophisticated attacks by hacker syndicates.

“Third-party systems, services and software modules handling confidential information should be treated on par with core applications. He called for stringent quality standards and security protocols to be implemented across the entire digital ecosystem,” Sajjanar stressed.
