Women bring a collaborative and holistic approach to technology development, helping bridge engineering, usability, and real-world application. This inclusive mindset strengthens how security systems are designed, tested, and deployed. Technology created by diverse demographics, the solutions they create are beyond and cater to the needs of large sections of society. Security systems, AI models, and surveillance technologies are designed to address complex real-world challenges, and inclusive teams help ensure those challenges are understood from multiple perspectives. In an industry responsible for safety and security, diversity is not simply a social goal; it is a design advantage. At Sparsh CCTV, the belief is simple: Technology designed to protect everyone. Women play vital roles across the organization, from leadership and research to manufacturing and business operations. Sparsh Sehgal, Chief Growth Officer at Sparsh CCTV, highlights a reality often overlooked in the security and surveillance industry, “Real progress will come when more women and young professionals are encouraged and supported to build careers in electronics, AI, and security technology.” At Sparsh, inclusion is structural. Technology That Protects Everyone Before a camera secures a city, before an AI system detects a threat, and before a surveillance network protects critical infrastructure, someone builds that technology. Increasingly, that ‘someone’ is a woman. From intelligent surveillance systems to advanced electronics manufacturing, their role is becoming more visible and more essential. As India positions itself as a global hub for electronics manufacturing and intelligent technology, expanding women’s participation in these sectors is not just about representation. It is critical for innovation, competitiveness, and long-term industry growth. Women Contributing to the Next Generation of Security Technology The security and surveillance industry is undergoing a major technological shift. Traditional CCTV systems are evolving into AI-powered intelligent infrastructure. Women engineers and technology professionals are contributing to this evolution across several critical areas, including: These contributions directly influence how surveillance systems are designed, tested, and deployed in real-world environments, from transportation networks and public infrastructure to enterprise security and smart city ecosystems.

IIRIS Consulting Pvt Ltd recently announced the official launch of IntelliTracker, a purpose-built monitoring platform designed to help banks and financial institutions manage fraud-related and law enforcement case lifecycles with structured visibility and RBI FMR 1-4-aligned reporting readiness. The product was recently showcased at the India AI Impact Expo 2026, drawing strong interest from industry stakeholders. Commenting on the launch, Dr. Vikram Singh, Advisory Leader at IIRIS, Former DGP of Uttar Pradesh, and a National Security Expert, said, “Fraud cases often move through complex, multi-layered law enforcement processes that require disciplined tracking and coordination. Institutions need structured visibility into these movements to ensure accountability and regulatory confidence. IntelliTracker brings much-needed digitisation and monitoring discipline to this interface between banks and enforcement agencies.” IntelliTracker envisions addressing the structural visibility gap by digitising case monitoring across the full lifecycle, from complaint registration to investigation tracking, court proceedings, and case closure. The platform aims to provide structured categorisation, continuous status tracking, and RBI-aligned documentation to support informed decision-making and regulatory compliance. Garry Singh, President, IIRIS, stated, “IntelliTracker is a masterpiece that will not only act as a great tool for monitoring and analysis, but also will aid higher efficacy in compliance and closure of cases; thus making business more robust.” Banks today manage thousands of fraud complaints registered across multiple jurisdictions. Case updates are often fragmented across portals, departments, and physical follow-ups. Monitoring tends to be periodic rather than continuous, while regulatory reporting remains manual and reactive. The absence of a unified, current view increases operational strain and compliance exposure. IntelliTracker addresses this gap through: IntelliTracker does not replace legal authority or enforcement processes. Instead, it enables structured monitoring, data-backed visibility, and reporting readiness, ensuring that final review remains fully under the bank’s control. The platform is now available for institutional deployment. The platform is designed to provide banks with a unified, real-time view of police-registered fraud cases while maintaining full institutional control over decision-making and enforcement actions. IIRIS Consulting Pvt Ltd is a global risk, intelligence, and advisory firm founded in India with a mission to build safer, more resilient institutions. With operations across 150+ global partner locations and offices throughout India, IIRIS delivers integrated solutions spanning forensic investigations, risk advisory, compliance, digital innovation, and law enforcement support. For over a decade, IIRIS has partnered with governments, financial institutions, and corporations to transform risk into structured, intelligence-led action, enabling stronger governance, operational resilience, and informed decision-making in complex environments.

Viraat brings deep regional expertise and extensive experience in building cybersecurity offerings across enterprise and channel ecosystems. He currently serves in a leadership role at ACPL Systems, a global cybersecurity distributor and solutions provider with a strong presence across APAC and international markets. As part of his advisory role, Viraat will work closely with RiskProfiler’s leadership team to: “Many modern threats materialise long before reaching traditional security controls – through impersonation, exposed credentials, and third-party compromise,” said Viraat Bindra, “RiskProfiler’s outside-in approach and focus on operationalising intelligence for security teams and service providers address a clear and growing need in the ANZ market. I’m excited to support the team as they expand their regional presence.” This announcement reflects a broader industry shift as enterprises and managed security service providers look beyond internal controls to understand what attackers see first – their brands, digital identities, suppliers, and internet-facing assets. “External risk has moved from being a security discussion to a business leadership priority,” said Setu Parimi, Co-founder and CTO of RiskProfiler, “As organisations scale digitally across global markets, the ability to continuously monitor and act on external exposure becomes critical to protecting customer trust and brand integrity. Viraat’s regional expertise and ecosystem experience will play an important role as we expand our partnerships and support organisations across ANZ and Asia-Pacific.” RiskProfiler continues to gain momentum globally as enterprises adopt proactive, outside-in cybersecurity strategies that help reduce exposure before threats escalate into incidents.

New capability brings enterprise-grade repository access control to organizations using GitHub Team and Organization plans eScan (MicroWorld Technologies Inc.) announced the successful deployment of GitHub Tenant Control within its Enterprise DLP solution, addressing a critical security gap affecting thousands of organisations that use GitHub Team or Organisation accounts without Enterprise-level access controls. The common thread? Organisations struggle to control how employees access GitHub, particularly when they haven’t invested in expensive Enterprise accounts with built-in authentication controls. When a Mercedes-Benz employee accidentally leaked a GitHub token in June 2024, it granted unrestricted access to the company’s entire GitHub Enterprise server source code. When The New York Times had credentials to their GitHub repositories inadvertently exposed in January 2024, their complete codebase appeared on 4chan months later. And in March 2025, the tj-actions/ changed-files GitHub Action compromise exposed CI/ CD secrets – including AWS keys, GitHub tokens, and private RSA keys – across 23,000 repositories. The GitHub Access Control Problem GitHub’s pricing structure creates a significant security dilemma. While GitHub Enterprise ($21/user/month) includes SAML single sign-on and centralized authentication controls, many organizations use GitHub Team accounts ($4/ user/month) to manage costs – particularly when purchasing seats for dozens or hundreds of developers. Team accounts lack GitHub’s native tenant control features, leaving organizations vulnerable to employees accessing repositories through personal credentials, third-party SSO providers like Google or Microsoft, or Apple ID authentication. “Organizations face an impossible choice,” said Govind Rammurthy, CEO & Managing Director, eScan, “Either spend 5x more for GitHub Enterprise just to get access controls, or accept the risk that employees might access your source code repositories through personal accounts that you can’t monitor or audit. eScan’s GitHub Tenant Control eliminates that dilemma.” How eScan solves it eScan Enterprise DLP’s new GitHub Tenant Control capability works regardless of GitHub account type – Team, Organization, or Enterprise. When an employee attempts to access GitHub using personal credentials or third-party authentication providers (Google, Apple, Microsoft), eScan’s DLP intercepts the authentication attempt and blocks it. Access succeeds only when employees authenticate using their corporate domain credentials, maintaining workflow continuity while ensuring complete visibility and control. “This isn’t about replacing GitHub’s security features for Enterprise customers,” Shweta Thakare, VP of Global Sales, explained, “It’s about extending enterprise-grade access control to organizations using Team or Organization accounts, and providing an additional layer of authentication enforcement even for Enterprise customers who want defense-in-depth.” Why this matters now GitHub reported that 39 million secrets were leaked across its platform in 2024 alone. The recent tj-actions compromise in March 2025 affected over 23,000 repositories, exposing credentials that could enable lateral movement into production environments. With India’s DPDP Act driving unprecedented focus on data sovereignty and access control, source code repositories have become a critical compliance concern. eScan’s GitHub Tenant Control integrates with the company’s broader Workspace Tenant Control feature set, which already manages authentication for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Dropbox, Atlassian, Slack, Webex, ChatGPT, and dozens of other platforms. The unified approach enables organizations to enforce consistent authentication policies across their entire cloud application ecosystem from a single DLP platform. Read More
