GenAI-Driven Attacks Require Changes to Application and Data Security Practices and User Monitoring End-user spending on security and risk management (SRM) in India is forecast to total $2.9 billion in 2024, an increase of 12.4% from 2023, according to a new forecast from Gartner, Inc. Indian organizations will continue to increase their security spending through 2024 due to legacy IT modernization using cloud technology, industry demand for digital platforms, updated regulatory environment, and continuous remote/hybrid work. “In 2024, chief information and security officers (CISOs) in India will prioritize their spending on SRM to improve organizational resilience and compliance,” said Shailendra Upadhyay , Sr Principal at Gartner. “With the introduction of stringent government measures mandating security breach reporting and digital data protection , CISOs are facing heightened responsibility in safeguarding critical assets against evolving cyber threats.” Gartner a...

More than 40 Latin American mobile network operators (MNOs) have launched a data roaming transparency scheme in the region that will provide consumers with greater visibility of their roaming charges and usage of mobile data services while travelling, according to the GSMA. The initiative is supported by operator groups including América Móvil, Antel, Entel Chile, Millicom, Oi, Orange, Telecom Italia and Telefónica. They have agreed to undertake a number of measures in the countries in which they operate to help mobile subscribers understand their data roaming charges and manage their use of data services when visiting other countries.
The MNOs participating in this initiative account for more than half a billion mobile subscribers across the region. “The Latin America region is unique in that we are at different stages of economic development, so it is important that we help consumers to better understand any costs that they may face and provide a consistent experience for consumers, wherever they travel,” says Javier Delgado, chair of the GSMA chief regulatory officers’ group of Latin America. “This is an important initiative and the second recently undertaken by MNOs in in the region, following on from a commitment to combat mobile phone theft earlier this year,” says Sebastian Cabello, director of GSMA Latin America. “MNOs are acting proactively in order to address customers’ needs to both ensure increased transparency of services and maintain the security of consumers’ information and data.”
Adopting the Following Measures:
Sending text messages to remind customers of their data roaming tariffs when they arrive in another country and turn on their mobile device;
Implementing a monthly data roaming spending limit to help consumers manage their roaming bill and sending alerts when their data usage approaches the limit; and
Temporarily suspending data service when usage exceeds the spending limit.
Roaming services in Latin America have been growing steadily following retail price reductions of up to 80 per cent since 2007 in some countries, through the provision of an increasing range of innovative pricing tariffs and the expansion of these additional services to prepaid customers. However, the availability of these roaming services is still constrained by several factors, including double taxation that can increase end-user prices by up to 40 per cent 2. “Data usage is continually increasing in Latin America with the adoption of smartphones, tablets and new generation devices, and we look to continue working with regional operators to offer better, customised and more transparent services to customers,” adds Delgado.
