Media Fusion and heise medien GmbH & Co. KG hosted an exclusive precursor leadership roundtable for the cybersecurity industry in Bengaluru, bringing together senior CISOs, DPOs, cybersecurity strategists, technology leaders, and policy influencers. CyberSec India Expo 2026, scheduled for April 23-24, 2026 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai will attract high-profile attendees from leading government bodies, defence programs, global tech giants, consulting powerhouses, policy think tanks, and major enterprises across sectors. As India advances its digital transformation agenda, the urgency to fortify cyber resilience continues to escalate, with enterprises facing over 3,200 cyberattacks per week, placing India among the most targeted nations globally. The DPDP Act and Shared Accountability The closed-door roundtable was held under the theme ‘Bridging the CISO-DPO Divide: Shared Accountability under the DPDP Act,’ highlighting the growing need for deeper collaboration between cybersecurity and data-privacy leadership amid evolving regulatory expectations. The recent operational rollout of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act has redefined governance structures and accountability for organisations handling personal data. Industry insights reveal that over 60% of Indian enterprises remain uncertain about implementing DPDP-aligned compliance frameworks, while nearly 50% cite talent shortages as a major obstacle – underscoring the urgency for unified execution models between CISOs and DPOs. The roundtable featured industry thought leaders like Srinjoy Banerjee, Ramesh Venkateaman, Dr. Lopa Basuu, Sandeep Rao and Joerg Muehle, along with participation from leading organisations including McAfee, Indian Railways, Persistent Systems, Carl Zeiss, Unilever, Nexusnow.ai, LexOrbis and others. Participants examined whether the DPDP Act will act as a transformative dealmaker in building unified privacy-security governance, or risk becoming a deal-breaker if operational roles, boundaries, and processes remain fragmented. Discussions also explored immediate implementation priorities, privacy-by-design and security-by-design models, readiness for responsible AI regulation, cross-sector data protection, and global standard interoperability. Key Themes Explored Raghavendra Deshpande, AGM Global Business Enterprises, Reliance Communications Limited highlighted that AI-driven threats and agentic AI will require CISOs and DPOs to adopt new security frameworks to protect both AI systems and sensitive data. He noted that fragmented global regulations and potential fines of up to 10% of global revenues will push organisations to strengthen governance and risk management, with DPOs playing a key role in mapping data flows across jurisdictions. He added that geopolitical tensions and rising attacks on critical infrastructure are expanding the threat landscape, making resilience essential, and stressed that the roles of CISOs and DPOs are rapidly converging. “CISOs are now evolving into Chief Resilience Officers,” he said. Hariharan R., Head, Global Consumer Services, McAfee highlighted during the discussion that the DPDP Act is accelerating the need for stronger data governance and clearer consent management processes across organizations. He noted that with rapid AI adoption, key challenges in 2026 will include managing AI hallucinations, strengthening governance, and balancing automation with human oversight. He emphasized that close collaboration between cybersecurity, privacy, and technology teams will be crucial for smooth and secure implementation. Ramesh Venkatraman, Hon.

He emphasized that cybersecurity can no longer be the responsibility of a single team and that every employee must think like a CISO or a DPO as technology and threats evolve. Ramesh added that platforms like CyberSec India Expo play an important role in advancing national cyber resilience by enabling learning, collaboration, and greater awareness across the industry, and he urged professionals to engage more, network more, and learn from diverse viewpoints to strengthen the community. Dr. Anup Dayananda Sadhu, CISO of Indian Railways, shared that organisations like Indian Railways are custodians of vast volumes of personal data across PRS and UTS ticketing systems, HR platforms, and public digital channels, and implementing the DPDP Act within the next 18 months will be a major responsibility. He said the organisation is fully aligned and prepared to meet these requirements, and stressed that platforms like CyberSec India Expo are vital in sensitising stakeholders and driving cybersecurity awareness, especially within government organisations. He added that with evolving regulations and rising data exposure, cybersecurity must now be treated as an urgent priority, and knowledge-sharing events like this play an essential role in improving readiness and collective preparedness for effective implementation. With India experiencing a 30-50% talent shortfall across cybersecurity and privacy roles, and organisations rapidly expanding investment into governance infrastructure, leaders emphasised coordinated workforce development, capability acceleration, and shared accountability models as essential next steps. Looking ahead, CyberSec India Expo 2026 will present exclusive 2-day conference, advanced workshop, policy forum discussion, hands-on technology demonstrations, and unified exhibitor zones – furthering India’s compliance and innovation ecosystem. This precursor roundtable served as a strategic forum for aligning priorities, exchanging actionable insights, and strengthening India’s preparedness amid rising cyber threats and regulatory complexity.

How A-1 Fence is Setting the National Benchmark for Forced-Entry Delay Protection In today’s evolving threat landscape, perimeter security is no longer about simply preventing access; it is about buying time. Time for detection, time for response, and time to neutralise threats before they escalate. This is where delay-rated fencing systems play a critical role, forming the first and most decisive line of defence for critical infrastructure. As India continues to invest in data centres, transport corridors, defence installations, energy assets, and strategic facilities, the demand for certified, performance-tested perimeter solutions has never been higher. At the forefront of this evolution stands A-1 Fence, India’s leading provider of SR1, SR2 and advanced delay-rated fencing systems, engineered and delivered to global security standards. What are delay rated fences and why they matter Unlike conventional perimeter fences, delay-rated fences are tested to withstand forced entry attempts using specific tools for a defined minimum time. The objective is not just deterrence, but measurable resistance, slowing intruders long enough for alarms to trigger and response teams to act. International standards such as LPS 1175 (UK) and ASTM frameworks define how fences are tested, the tools used, and the delay times achieved. For high-risk sites, these certifications are no longer optional; they are now essential. A-1 SR1 Rated Fence: Certified protection for medium-risk perimeter The A-1 SR1 Rated Fence, certified to LPS 1175 SR1, offers a minimum 1-minute forced entry delay against basic hand tools. This makes it ideal for sites where opportunistic intrusion is the primary concern. Key advantages: Typical applications: For organisations seeking certified protection without over-engineering, A-1 SR1 provides the ideal balance of deterrence, delay, and value. A-1 SR2 Rated Fence: High-security protection where every second counts When threats are more deliberate and determined, A-1 SR2 Rated Fence delivers the next level of assurance. Tested and certified to LPS 1175 SR2 (Issue 7)/ B3 (Issue 8), this system provides a proven 3-minute delay against enhanced hand tools. Key advantages: Typical applications: SR2 fencing is designed for environments where response time is mission-critical – and where perimeter failure is not an option. A-1 AKAT® NG 30: Extended Delay Protection for High-Threat Environments For assets where intrusion attempts are likely to be deliberate, equipped, and persistent, A-1 Fence offers its most advanced delay-rated solution – ASTM-certified A-1 AKAT® NG 30. Engineered specifically to counter aggressive cutting and climbing attacks, AKAT NG 30 is designed to deliver extended forced-entry delay beyond conventional SR ratings, making it suitable for the highest-risk perimeters. Through its high-strength welded construction and anti-cut geometry, AKAT NG 30 achieves delay times of up to 30 minutes against medium cutting tools and provides significant resistance of more than 6 minutes even against aggressive power tools, giving response teams a decisive operational advantage. Unlike standard anti-climb fences, AKAT focuses on measured delay performance, not just deterrence. Key advantages: A-1 AKAT® NG 30 is purpose-built for defence installations, border security, data centres, energy facilities, and other strategic assets, where every additional minute of delay directly translates into enhanced threat neutralisation and site security. Engineering That Goes Beyond the Fence What sets A-1 Fence apart is not just certification, but system-level thinking. Every delay-rated fence is engineered as part of a layered security ecosystem, seamlessly integrating with: Equally important is durability. A-1’s hot-dip galvanising and powder coating processes ensure long-term corrosion resistance, a critical factor for India’s diverse climates and harsh environments. Why A-1 Fence Leads the Delay-Rated Segment in India With over 25 years of perimeter security excellence, A-1 Fence has helped redefine how Indian infrastructure thinks about perimeter protection, shifting the conversation from ‘can it be breached?’ to ‘how long can it be held?’ Conclusion: Delay is the New Defence In modern security design, delay equals control. Whether it is SR1, SR2, or advanced AKAT systems, delay-rated fencing gives security teams the most valuable asset of all: time. As India’s infrastructure grows more complex and critical, A-1 Fence continues to lead the way, delivering certified, performance-driven perimeter solutions that stand up to real-world threats. A-1 Fence, Engineering Time. Securing the Nation. Read More
