Cyberattacks have surged globally, increasing the risk to creditworthiness of debt issuers, particularly in the healthcare and public sectors. Moody's credit rating agency reports that the number of organisations experiencing cyber incidents has climbed from 4-5% per year before 2019 to around 7% since 2020. These incidents are
Artificial intelligence
An overwhelming majority of chief information security officers (CISOs) anticipate a surge in cyber attacks over the next three years as organizations face an increasingly complex and AI-driven digital threat landscape. With 98% of CISOs expecting a rise in cyber attacks, they identify cybersquatting, domain-based attacks, and ransomware as top
Artificial intelligence
Researchers in India have developed an artificial intelligence model that uses neural networks to accurately detect faults in railway tracks, even in noisy environments. The model, developed by the Department of Civil Engineering, employs a feature-weighting mechanism to prioritize critical acoustic emission parameters, enhancing its ability to identify and localize
