The Government has decided to implement an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered threat detection system to strengthen the security of State cloud services, Digital Economy Deputy Minister Eranga Weeraratne said in Parliament yesterday.

Weeraratne said the initiative will enable authorities to identify and respond to emerging cyber threats more effectively. He assured that all necessary measures are being taken to protect institutions operating under cloud infrastructure and to ensure the safety of public data.

The Deputy Minister also noted that no Government service had been disrupted by the recent system failures and that operations across institutions continue without interruption.
