Cyberthreats are evolving beyond conventional defenses, targeting critical information infrastructure and exploiting both human and technological gaps. As attackers leverage AI and APT tactics, organizations must rethink their cybersecurity posture - from board-level accountability to verticalized security strategies. Organizations need to understand how to balance in-house capabilities with specialized vendors, implement threat-informed defense, and align cyber resilience with privacy and regulatory imperatives in India's maturing digital landscape.

This session, led by Naveen Singh, director general of NCIIPC; Vishal Salvi, CEO of Quick Heal; and Bithal Bhardwaj, CEO of Gramax at GMR Group, will cover:

• Integrating threat intelligence and red teaming into long-term cyber strategy;
• Building sector-specific security frameworks and operational playbooks;
• Working with external partners while retaining strategic control and accountability.
