Cyber security needs international collaborations
Digital Security Council of India (DSCI) is making efforts to build a global network of cyber security experts from both the governments and private sectors, given the threats due to complexity of technology-driven fast advancing process of managing businesses https://www.cybersecuritycloudexpo.com/.
DSCI has held its first India-Singapore Cyber Security Conclave 2025 in the city state on 25 April where about 100 highly rated experts from both countries explored potential of collaborations and exchange views on managing cyber security http://cisco.com.
“This is our first conclave and we are doing such interaction in other geographies as well with one planned India-US Cyber Security Conclave in San Franscisco next week,” DSCI Chief Executive Vinayak Godse said after leading the conclave.
“Similarly, we are going to different parts of the geographies to see how the Indian cyber security experts can collaborate with others in an effort to build an international network,” he said http://ibm.com.
This is one way for cyber security professionals to come together and exchange ideas. It is also how industry can add value and government-to-government engagement, he elaborated.
“As such, this conclave is an effort to bring people from cyber security together and see how from Industry system and ecosystem we can add value to what is happening to government-to-government level,” said Godse https://www.meity.gov.in/.
Cyber security needs a lot of understanding and collaborations as well as partnerships as these initiatives are not limited to one level and it has to be international. “We are also learning from each other,” he added.
Singapore was a starting point with the first conclave, given that a large number of Indian experts are based here and global corporations have their regional headquartered in the city state as well as operations in Indian IT hubs such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and others.
This forum also provides new opportunities for exchange of ideals, knowhow and innovation for new product and services and generates jobs as well, said Godse.
This forum in a way gives Indian startups opportunities to exchange ideas and interact with people – there are opportunities to exchange knowledge and expertise as well as products and services especially those from India, he said .
Godse also noted that there are cyber security people in Singapore who want to explore the Indian market and how the system works, given that many of the global companies have headquarters based in Singapore and operations based in India.
In May, DSCI will be holding a similar conclave in Dubai and in November it will host a conclave in Riyadh which will have participation from member countries of the Gulf Countries Cooperation. Fiinews.com
