Top Highlights of the Cybersecurity Networking Event in Bangalore

Attendees were tasked with creating shareable content such as checklists and mind maps, fostering collaboration among peers. These sessions offered a hands-on experience and allowed participants to apply real-world strategies to their security challenges.

Key insights from the Bengaluru CISO Networking Event
- Benchmarking is Key to Improving Security Posture: One of the primary takeaways from the event was the importance of benchmarking your security programme against industry peers. By measuring cyber risk effectively, CISOs can make better strategic decisions and strengthen their organization’s defences.
- AI is Both a Blessing and a Threat: AI’s dual role in cybersecurity was a significant topic of discussion. While AI can vastly improve threat detection and response, it is also being used by cybercriminals to launch more sophisticated attacks.
