CONCEPT by
Connect with India’s top CISOs shaping trust, resilience, and security strategy for 2026.
The CISO Forum 2026 convenes India’s top 100+ CISOs for an exclusive two-day residential conference. Built around the CISO Agenda 2026, Quantify Risk, Build Resilience, Enable Growth, the forum focuses on how CISOs are translating cyber risk into business language, strengthening organisational resilience, and enabling secure growth amid AI-led disruption and regulatory intensity. The conference offers a rare setting to align security priorities with boardroom expectations and shape the year ahead.
India’s DPDP enforcement is unlocking nearly USD 240 million in non-discretionary cybersecurity investments in 2026, with CISOs already finalising priorities and accountability frameworks. This is not a phase of experimentation, but a regulation-driven decision cycle shaped by compliance mandates, heightened board oversight, and regulatory scrutiny. The CISO Forum positions leaders at the centre of this moment—where risk is quantified, resilience is operationalised, and security becomes a growth enabler, not a constraint.
