Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary, Industries and Commerce, Government of Telangana, said “Telangana, the youngest state in India has a thriving innovation ecosystem, which is evident in the fields of Cybersecurity and privacy. It is the first state in India to have its own Cybersecurity policy and established a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Cybersecurity, which is catalysing the Cybersecurity ecosystem, especially the startups and the Global Capability Centres of MNCs, who have their operations setup here. India and Israel’s cybersecurity partnership could be a potential game changer. This meetup will be an excellent opportunity for the participants to exchange ideas and form global collaborations to foster the growth of the cybersecurity and privacy industry.”
Speaking at the event, Dr. Sriram Birudavolu, CEO, Cybersecurity CoE said “Cybersecurity and Privacy are two of the cornerstones of the industry, economy and society in an increasingly cyber-physical world. The Telangana Cybersecurity CoE will not only uplift the Cybersecurity and Privacy quotient in the ecosystem, but also help organizations exploit the burgeoning $231 billion global market in these areas. Indo-Israel bilateral collaborations will be extremely beneficial in this regard.”
.Amir Rapaport, Editor-in-chief and Founder, Cybertech, Israel said “It is our first Cybertech session in collaboration with Cyber security Center of Excellence in Hyderabad: Government officials and companies from Israel and India met for an unprecedented discussion on the challenges and opportunities in cyber, as well as a unique technological display.”
