The Quarter 3 ASIS Delhi Chapter Meet was held on 18 July this year at Wipro Limited’s Gurugram office. Led by Harvindra Singh, Chairman – ASIS International (Delhi Chapter), it was nothing short of magnificent – a splendid spectacle of meticulous organization and flawless execution. The enthusiastic reception from all attendees was palpable, and the sheer volume of participants was overwhelming. The event saw a footfall of over 120. The principal sponsor for this event was Wipro Limited. Their generosity extended beyond providing the venue; they graciously hosted a lavish lunch and presented each participant with a delightful gift bag. Col A. L. Suresh, Head Function – Tech COE Physical Security Systems, Wipro delivered the keynote address on ‘Setting up a Center for Excellence for Physical Security Systems and Operational Technology’ that was extremely engaging and insightful. He dwelled on various insights by initially pointing out that the purpose of a Center of Excellence (COE) included tech management, exploring new tech, IoT security, trends and threats and aspects special to organizations. A fireside chat was effected between Umesh Kumar – VP of Physical Security, Risk & Control at NatWest Group, and Capt. Sanjay Sharma, Global Security Head – Wipro Limited. Pertinent and some tricky questions were raised regarding the future of corporate security. Most memorable was when Mr. Kumar gave an option to Capt. Sharma to choose between Artificial Intelligence and Human Intelligence. Capt. Sharma dodged that googly and explained why a combination of both was necessary. A takeaway from this fireside chat was that smart technology is growing ahead with time. It is a financially well-informed practice closely aligned with business. Both Col Suresh and Capt. Sharma spoke about the problem of deepfakes when trends and threats were discussed and how there is no structured response to this problem as of now. A workshop by young professionals from Inquest Advisories Niharika Karamchandani and Tanya Vatsa was aptly called ‘Resilience Reboot’ as it led to everyone putting their thinking caps on to deal with three different kinds of incidents – a ransomware attack at a global tech company, a fire incident at a warehouse, and a lockdown situation due to a pandemic. The audience became privy to the CSR activities conducted by the ‘Women in Security’ and the ‘Young Professionals’ Committees. In June, in a workshop organized by ASIS International New Delhi Chapter, psychologist Prakriti Pandia encouraged participants to share their stories and feelings, leading to an exceptionally insightful experience. The combination of personal reflection and communal support created an invisible bond. Emotions were let out and shared, with many finding solace in discovering the commonality of shared experiences. A self-defence training was given to 30 girls at Lajpat Nagar this quarter and the aspiration is to reach out to more girls and empower at least 300 girls. Abhay Ranjan, who spearheads the boot camp for CPP, PSP, and PCI certifications amassed a lot of love when he mentioned how he has enriched each time any member gets certified. Needless to say, there is a reason why ASIS International is creating a lot of goodwill among security professionals globally.
