One Platform. 500+ CXOs Leaders. Two Days. A Shared Vision for a Secured Digital Bharat.
As India accelerates towards a digitally empowered and AI-driven economy, cybersecurity is no longer confined to the IT function. It has become a strategic imperative for governments, public institutions, essential infrastructure, enterprises and the nation at large.
SECURE-IN 2026 is envisioned as a landmark national conference bringing together 500+ of India’s leading minds in cybersecurity, technology, digital governance, policy and enterprise leadership for two days of high-level dialogue, collaboration and knowledge exchange.
How do we build a secure, trusted and resilient digital Bharat in the age of AI?
The conference will bring together CXOs, CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, technology leaders, cybersecurity experts, policymakers, academia, innovators and industry leaders to deliberate on this defining question.
With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, AI accelerating both defensive capabilities and attack vectors, and India’s digital infrastructure expanding at unprecedented scale, the need for collective action has never been greater.
SECURE-IN 2026 will create a strategic platform for stakeholders across Central Ministries, State Governments, Public Sector Undertakings, Critical Information Infrastructure, financial institutions and enterprises to exchange insights, identify emerging risks, share best practices and shape the future of cybersecurity and digital trust in India.

India is building one of the world’s most expansive digital ecosystems. From digital public infrastructure and cloud platforms to AI systems, data centres, connected devices and critical services, technology is becoming deeply embedded in every aspect of economic and public life.
With this transformation comes a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
Cyberattacks are becoming more intelligent, automated and coordinated. AI is changing the nature of cyber threats while simultaneously creating new opportunities for threat detection, intelligence and response. The convergence of AI, cloud, data, IoT, edge computing and critical infrastructure is creating a new cybersecurity paradigm.
SECURE-IN 2026 brings the country’s cybersecurity leadership community together to move from fragmented responses to collective resilience, proactive preparedness and trusted digital transformation.
India’s National Cybersecurity Response Agency
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) is a functional organisation of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, with the objective of securing Indian cyberspace. CERT-In has been operational since January 2004.
CERT-In works across India’s cyber ecosystem and engages with government departments, public sector organisations, State CSIRTs, industry, security vendors, law-enforcement agencies, academia, international CERTs and other stakeholders.
Securing Indian cyberspace through national coordination, proactive preparedness and trusted cyber resilience.
Its role extends beyond responding to incidents. CERT-In undertakes proactive activities including vulnerability analysis, risk assessment, cybersecurity advisories, training, awareness and development of preventive strategies.
In an increasingly connected India, cyber resilience is fundamental to national security, economic continuity and public trust.
CERT-In serves as a critical national coordination point for cybersecurity incident response and helps strengthen the ability of organisations to prevent, detect, respond to and recover from cyber incidents. Its mandate spans the wider Indian cyber community, including government, public and private-sector organisations.
The importance of this role is becoming even more pronounced as emerging technologies reshape the threat environment. In 2026, CERT-In has issued guidance addressing AI-assisted vulnerability exploitation and AI-accelerated vulnerability protection and response, reflecting the growing importance of AI in the cybersecurity landscape.
From Cyber Defence to Digital Resilience
Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally changing cybersecurity.
The same technologies that enable organisations to detect threats faster, automate security operations and strengthen intelligence can also be exploited to accelerate reconnaissance, vulnerability exploitation, social engineering and sophisticated attacks.
The cybersecurity conversation therefore needs to move beyond traditional perimeter defence.
AI Security. Cyber Resilience. Digital Trust. Data Protection. Critical Infrastructure. Zero Trust. Cloud Security. Incident Response. Cyber Governance.
SECURE-IN 2026 will bring these interconnected priorities together through strategic discussions, expert sessions, leadership dialogues and collaborative forums.
Eight interconnected priorities for a secure, trusted and resilient digital Bharat.
Building resilient security frameworks across Government, PSUs, critical sectors and enterprises.
SECURE-IN 2026 will convene senior decision-makers and cybersecurity leaders from across India’s digital ecosystem.
Cybersecurity cannot be solved by one organisation, one sector or one technology.
It requires collaboration.
SECURE-IN 2026 will provide a unique platform where government meets industry, policy meets technology, and cybersecurity leadership meets innovation.
The objective is to foster deeper collaboration, accelerate knowledge sharing and build a common understanding of the risks and opportunities shaping India’s digital future.
Cyber resilience for the systems and institutions powering India’s digital economy and national progress.
Protecting financial infrastructure, digital banking, payment systems, customer data and increasingly AI-driven financial ecosystems from sophisticated cyber threats.
Securing generation, transmission, distribution, smart grids, control systems and increasingly connected energy infrastructure against cyber disruption.
Building cyber resilience across solar, wind, green-energy infrastructure, distributed energy systems, storage networks and digitally connected renewable assets.
Protecting hospitals, healthcare networks, medical devices, patient data and essential health infrastructure while enabling secure digital healthcare transformation.
Securing universities, institutions, research networks, student ecosystems and sensitive intellectual property against cyber threats.
Strengthening the security and resilience of infrastructure fundamental to India’s economic and national security, including transportation, telecom, utilities, data centres and other essential services.
Addressing cybersecurity risks across Industry 4.0, OT/ICS environments, connected factories, supply chains and industrial automation.
Strengthening cyber resilience across Central Ministries, State Governments, PSUs, public digital platforms and citizen-facing services.
Protecting India’s communications infrastructure, networks, cloud ecosystems and next-generation digital connectivity.
Securing the infrastructure powering India’s rapidly expanding digital economy, including cloud platforms, data centres, edge environments and hyperscale infrastructure.
Protecting digitally connected transportation systems, smart mobility infrastructure, airports, railways, urban systems and other technology-enabled public infrastructure.

Addressing the evolving cyber threat landscape surrounding strategically important systems, networks, technologies and supply chains.
The convergence of AI, cloud, IoT, operational technology, data and connected infrastructure means that cyber risks are increasingly interconnected.
A vulnerability in one ecosystem can have consequences far beyond a single organisation.
SECURE-IN 2026 therefore brings together leaders across sectors to move towards a common national objective:
Build cyber-resilient sectors. Build digital trust. Build a secure India.
Through high-level keynote sessions, CXO dialogues, expert panels and cross-sector conversations, the conference will explore how organisations can strengthen their security posture while continuing to innovate and digitally transform.
From financial systems to power grids. From hospitals to universities. From renewable energy assets to essential infrastructure. From government platforms to enterprise ecosystems — SECURE-IN 2026 will put cybersecurity at the centre of India’s digital future.
