AI Use by CISOs Rises to Handle Budget Constraints and Boost Resilience: Findings From Wipro Report
**Wipro Embraces AI for Cybersecurity and Cost Optimization**
In a strategic shift towards AI-powered operations, Wipro Limited, a leading technology services and consulting company, is transforming into a consulting-led, AI-centric enterprise. The company, with over 230,000 employees and business partners across 65 countries, is investing heavily in AI to drive growth, innovation, and efficiency across its operations and client services.
Approximately 87,000 Wipro employees have completed advanced AI training, enabling them to build and manage intelligent agents that automate workflows and improve service quality. Wipro has committed $1 billion to infuse AI across all business layers, focusing on systemic innovation rather than siloed tools.
Wipro's strategic direction is not limited to AI integration. The company is also focusing on building innovative solutions for digital transformation needs. In the realm of cybersecurity, Wipro aims to enhance its security posture by leveraging AI for predictive and preventive operations, automating security workflows to improve overall security.
A survey of over 100 global cybersecurity leaders found that AI-driven automation and cost optimization are top cybersecurity priorities. Implementing Zero Trust security frameworks is a top investment priority for 97 percent of survey respondents, while 30 percent stated that investing in AI automation to bolster cybersecurity operations and reduce costs is a top priority.
To leverage AI for cyber resilience, CISOs must work with their peers to get the correct data governance in place and set up regular comprehensive cybersecurity training programs for all employees. The growing role of AI in managing cyber threats is highlighted in Wipro's recently released "State of Cybersecurity Report 2025."
Wipro's focus on cost optimization strategies is evident in its efforts to automate workflows and increase productivity, which can lead to cost savings and efficiency gains. Despite a slight decline in IT services revenue, Wipro has reported improved operating margins and a commitment to return value to shareholders, indicating a focus on cost management and strategic investment.
Wipro's strategic initiatives related to AI integration and cybersecurity are not without risks. The company's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission provide more details on these risks, including fluctuations in earnings, competition, client concentration, and political instability, among others.
