We are pleased to share the successful conclusion of the executive roundtable on, 'Beyond Reactive Cybersecurity: Building Pre-emptive Defense in the AI Age,' organized in collaboration with CYFIRMA. The conference brought together distinguished experts from the cyber security fraternity to discuss how organizations can strengthen cyber resilience amid evolving security dynamics.

The discourse highlighted the critical need for organizations to transition from reactive security approaches to predictive, intelligence-driven cyber resilience, as artificial intelligence continues to redefine the cyber threat landscape.

Presiding over the discussion, Kumar Ritesh, Founder & CEO, CYFIRMA, and Vinayak Godse, CEO, DSCI, exchanged perspectives with CISOs and technology leaders on cyber risks, AI-powered threat intelligence, and strategies for building proactive security programs that can anticipate and mitigate future threats.

We are grateful to have facilitated a conversation that reinforced the importance of continued collaboration across the cyber security ecosystem in strengthening collective resilience.
