Panel Discussion Proposal

Impromptu Founders & CISOs Meet

Abstract:

The Information Security field thrives on innovation, but for a founder's innovation to have a significant impact on the industry, it must traverse a long and challenging journey.

As we have witnessed in Silicon Valley, Cyber Security innovations receive substantial backing and support from CISOs/CTOs. What is the situation in India?

Let's explore the dynamics of the relationship between CISOs and founders in India. What are the founders' expectations from the leaders, and what does it take for these leaders to support innovative startups?

Composition:

Join us in this electrifying discussion, where James Robinson (Deputy CISO, Netskope) will provide insights from the Silicon Valley Cyber Security ecosystem. Rahul Sasi (Founder of CloudSEK) and Lavakumar Kuppan (Founder of Domdog.io) will share their journeys as Indian founders and discuss the support they have received or not received. To offer the Indian CISO perspective, we have Amol Naik (CISO at Unacademy), Himanshu Das (CISO at Cred), Jayesh Chauhan (CISO at CoinSwitch), Dhiraj Ranka (CISO at TATA AIG General Insurance Limited) & Sunil Yadav (Founder - x-Biz Techventures Private Limited)
