The editorial briefing

Security is moving from tool deployment to operational assurance

The question is no longer whether an organisation will use AI, cloud and connected infrastructure. It is whether it can use them with visibility, control and resilience. A practitioner-led forum, not a sequence of product presentations.

AI security and governance

Secure AI use policies, agent inventory, AI red teaming, data controls, guardrails and accountability.

Identity security and PAM

Human, privileged, customer, workload and machine identities across hybrid and AI-enabled workflows.

AI-led SecOps, XDR and MDR

Detection engineering, SIEM modernisation, autonomous triage, threat hunting and analyst productivity.

Cloud-native security and CNAPP

CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, container and Kubernetes protection, code-to-cloud context and multi-cloud governance.

Continuous threat exposure management

Asset visibility, attack-path validation, breach simulation, vulnerability prioritisation and control assurance.

Data security and privacy operations

DSPM, DLP, classification, encryption, consent, retention, deletion and breach-notification readiness.

Cyber recovery and continuity

Immutable data protection, isolation, clean recovery, ransomware readiness, DR testing and service restoration.

OT, IoT and critical infrastructure

Asset discovery, segmentation, remote access, anomaly detection, legacy-system risk and operational resilience.

Speakers

Learn from the people who defend at scale

A stage shared by security leaders, researchers and experts from the front lines of India's enterprise and public sector defence.
