Exclusive insights report
Overview
Government and public sector institutions are navigating a defining decade for cybersecurity — ransomware, AI risk and the DPDP Act all at once.

As India accelerates its digital governance agenda, the attack surface across government departments, PSUs and public infrastructure has expanded sharply.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 now demands measurable data resilience. Veeam Software, in association with Tech Observer Magazine, brings together the most senior government technology leaders for an evening of frank, peer-level dialogue on practical strategies, architectures and emerging technologies to secure India's digital infrastructure at scale.

Why This Matters

The threats are real.
The stakes are public.

🔒

Ransomware Preparedness

India ranked among the most targeted nations for ransomware on public sector infrastructure in 2024. Is your recovery architecture ready?

⚖️

DPDP Act Compliance

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act introduces legal accountability for data failures — raising urgency for government CIOs and CISOs.

🤖

AI Data Governance

As government agencies adopt AI tools, citizen data flows into new pipelines. Governance, auditability and protection must follow.

☁️

Sovereign Infrastructure

Cloud adoption is accelerating. But who controls the data? What frameworks ensure sovereignty without sacrificing operational agility?

Agenda Themes

What the room will discuss

01
Cyber Resilience Frameworks for Government

From threat detection to full recovery — building end-to-end operational resilience for public sector IT.

02
Ransomware: Lessons from Real Incident Response

Practical strategies drawn from government sector ransomware events — what worked, what failed, and what changed.

03
DPDP Act Readiness Audit

Where public sector bodies stand today — obligations, gaps and the path to compliance without operational disruption.

04
AI in Government: Securing Agentic Workloads

How autonomous AI systems interact with citizen data — and the governance frameworks being built around them.

05
Data Protection for Hybrid Government Environments

Backup, recovery and data sovereignty strategies across multi-cloud, on-premises and hybrid government deployments.

06
Whole-of-Government Cybersecurity

Inter-ministry coordination models and shared infrastructure for national cyber resilience.
