During the interview, he stated that companies with outdated security systems must pay attention to cyberattacks. He highlighted that the challenge isn’t the absence of cybersecurity vendors but the presence of a fragmented and sometimes outdated security infrastructure. 
Arora urged businesses to have a roadmap for modernizing their cybersecurity and adopting AI-based systems, noting that cyberattacks are now happening in hours rather than days.

 “Listen, you need to have a two- or three-year road map to try and modernize all of that. Put that in some sort of an AI stack, so you can actually do this in more real time. Because the bad actors are moving faster.” <cite>Nikesh Arora, CEO of Palo Alto Networks</cite> 
</blockquote> 
This emphasis on swift action is especially pertinent given the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new guidelines, which mandate companies to report significant security breaches within four days of confirmation.
