As AI reshapes both sides of the cybersecurity battle — arming attackers with faster, smarter tools while giving defenders new ways to fight back — few markets sit at the center of this shift like India. Home to a booming SMB economy, a growing share of global GCCs, and some of the world’s top AI and threat-research talent, India has become both a critical growth market and an increasingly attractive target for bad actors.

In this conversation with Express Computer, Patrick O’Donnell, Senior Vice President & Chief Revenue Officer at SonicWall, and Debasish Mukherjee, Vice President, Regional Sales – APAC, SonicWall, unpack why so many breaches still trace back to basic hygiene failures rather than missing technology, how SonicWall is embedding AI directly into its enforcement infrastructure rather than bolting it on, and what India’s rise as a global tech and data hub means for its cyber risk profile.
