IIM Indore opens admissions for executive program in AI and cybersecurity

IIM Indore, in collaboration with Jaro Education, has opened admissions for Batch 4 of its Executive Programme in Artificial Intelligence & Cyber Security for Organisations.

The 10-month program is designed to help professionals develop a business-oriented understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity and apply this knowledge to organizational transformation and digital risk management.

According to Precedence Research, the global artificial intelligence in cybersecurity market was valued at $29.64 billion in 2025. It is projected to grow from $35.40 billion in 2026 to approximately $167.77 billion by 2035, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.93% between 2026 and 2035.

Gartner’s AI Security Predictions further highlight the growing importance of securing AI ecosystems. More than 50% of enterprises are expected to use AI security platforms by 2028 to protect third-party AI services and custom AI applications.

The Executive Programme in Artificial Intelligence & Cyber Security for Organisations is intended for non-technical professionals, engineers, IT project managers, functional managers and early-career IT professionals seeking to develop strategic capabilities in AI and cybersecurity. Applicants are not required to have a purely technical background, as the program follows a multidisciplinary, business-focused approach.

The curriculum covers digital transformation, artificial intelligence, responsible AI adoption, cybersecurity, cyber threats, organizational risk and secure business decision-making. It aims to help participants understand how AI can be integrated into organizational processes while recognizing and addressing the cybersecurity challenges associated with its deployment.

IIM Indore offers a range of executive education programs in long-term and short-term formats. These programs are designed to help professionals strengthen their management and business capabilities while responding to changing industry requirements.

The institute ranked 62nd globally and second in India for its Executive Education Programmes (Open) in the Financial Times Executive Education Rankings 2026. It is also among India's select Triple Crown-accredited business schools, holding accreditations from EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA. These internationally recognized accreditations reflect the institute's academic standards and support the global recognition of its educational offerings.

IIM Indore Director Prof Himanshu Rai said, “As AI becomes embedded in decision-making, customer engagement, operations and digital infrastructure, organisations require talent capable of looking at technology through the combined lenses of business strategy, risk and security. The programme is particularly relevant for professionals looking to strengthen cross-functional technology leadership, build capabilities for AI-enabled organisations, explore opportunities in cybersecurity, or develop a broader understanding of the evolving digital landscape.”
