It will help the CISOs and other participants to equip themselves with better understanding of the changing dynamics of the cyber world, so that they are able to translate the benefits of secure cyberspace to individual organisations and citizens at large. The role of CISOs is to do a gap analysis of the cyber security in an organisation and come out with a plan and strategy to bridge the gap and take corrective actions.

He added, “If we are aware of the right practices, we can adopt a culture that ensures cyber security is handled well and equips us to address the new emerging challenges.” Speaking about India’s improving global cyber security index from 47th in 2018 to 10th in 2021, he reiterated Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for making India the most
