Enterprise Cyber Security in South Asia - Why it Matters?

Event Summary

Almost 7 lakh cyber attacks were faced by commercial and legal entities and the citizens in India in 2020 as per The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeITY).

Enterprises in many countries like India, Bangladesh, Sri-Lanka are being subjugated to complex cyber-attacks which speaks for the vulnerabilities of the cyber landscape in South Asia. This can be easily attributed to lack of necessary cyber intelligence and the political and regulatory processes.

This cyber threat landscape across South Asia poses significant challenges due to rapid technological developments such as Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, lnternet of Things, 5G.

The Government of India is working on a draft of the National Cyber Security Strategy 2020 that envisages creating a secure cyberspace in India. Similarly, a Cyber Security Act is being proposed under the National Cyber Security Strategy of Sri Lanka.

With the support of the various Government initiatives, enterprises are now looking at creating a comprehensive framework to prevent, manage cybersecurity threats and incidents effectively, and protect critical information infrastructure.

Join us for the Enterprise Cyber Security in South Asia webinar as we bring the top 200 IT Security professionals to hear from industry leaders on risk mitigation mechanisms and cybersecurity.
