SEBI is creating a new artificial‑intelligence system that will automatically review the cyber‑security checks of stock‑market participants. The goal is to spot weak spots early and rank firms by how risky their cyber posture is.
AI tool to check cyber safety
The regulator said the tool will read cyber‑audit reports, highlight missing controls, and assign a risk level to each regulated entity. This will help SEBI focus its supervision where it matters most.
- Analyzes cyber‑audit data automatically
- Identifies gaps in security controls
- Classifies firms as low, medium or high cyber risk
Technology roadmap for market infrastructure
At the same time, SEBI is putting together a working group to map out a technology plan for market‑infrastructure institutions such as exchanges. The roadmap will give a clear five‑year and ten‑year vision for how these bodies should upgrade their systems.
- Short‑term (5‑year) targets: strengthen risk‑based supervision and improve cyber resilience
- Long‑term (10‑year) goals: build a future‑ready, adaptable securities‑market ecosystem
Why it matters
By using AI to keep an eye on cyber health, SEBI aims to protect investors and maintain market integrity as more people join the market. The regulator also urged exchanges and other infrastructure players to keep investing in technology, risk management and cyber‑defence.
