CII Conference on Cyber Security & Privacy 2017

Our daily life, economic vitality, and national security depend on a stable, safe, and resilient cyberspace. Cyberspace and its underlying infrastructure are vulnerable to a wide range of risk stemming from both physical and cyber threats and hazards. The threat environment today has become extremely vitiated. Cyber war and cyber espionage is a reality now and attacks on critical infrastructures have become a dangerous threat.

India's e-Commerce is flourishing, with many e-governance activities being carried out over the Internet. As we grow more dependent on the Internet for our daily activities, we also become more vulnerable to any disruptions caused in and through cyberspace. India is gearing up to bring-in new encryption and privacy policies to take on growing cyber security challenges. As the Digital India initiative progresses, cyber-attacks have doubled year over year, and Indian businesses and government sites have become more vulnerable.
“It is not about the battlefield. Cyber security is vital. I dream of Digital India where cyber security becomes an integral part of national security,” said Shri Narendra Modi, Honourable Prime Minister of India. It is estimated that $671 billion will be spent on cyber security initiatives to protect PCs ($386 billion), Mobile Devices ($113 billion) and IoT devices ($172 billion) between 2015-2020.

Cyber Security is one of the most important emerging issues in India, particularly in Gujarat. Gujarat is one of the most industrialized state and key contributor to the GDP of the country, which makes it more subject to cyber-attacks. Gujarat has taken a series of steps to harden its security posture; still the cyber threat is imminent. Cyber security agencies in the state needs to be empowered to manage incidents quickly. Establishing a robust cyber security system in Gujarat is important to make Gujarat businesses globally competitive and create a safer Digital Gujarat.

CII Conference on Cyber Security and Privacy 2017 will bring together the thought leaders, experts and professionals at all levels of cyber security as well as the next generation of cyber defenders to exchange ideas and best practices, share experiences, and debate issues & challenges. At the conference, you can find new connections, innovations and resources to help defend your enterprise from the ever growing cyber security threat.
