Fortified by AI

"Attackers move at machine speed. Defences that worked a year ago are already being tested by adversaries using the same AI tools your team just adopted. Phishing arrives with perfect grammar and a deepfake voice to match. Credentials stolen in the morning become lateral movement by lunch. An agentic coding assistant that saves your developers hours can leak your source code through a SaaS ecosystem nobody reviewed. And the regulator wants to see your evidence by Friday.

Built to Hold is the practical guide for security leaders, practitioners, and executives who need to adopt AI-driven cybersecurity with clarity, strong fundamentals, and governance that holds up under real conditions. Written by a cybersecurity leader with over two decades of experience - from the Indian Air Force to enterprise security leadership - this book sits at the intersection where technology decisions become business decisions, and where the gap between a prepared organisation and an unprepared one becomes painfully visible.

"Technology is a precondition. The operating discipline is the differentiator. And the closed loop - where every incident makes the next one less likely - is where programmes that hold up are built."
