ET-CISO

Connect with 100+ India’s top CISOs, shaping the enterprise security landscape.

The AI-driven, digital-first economy is pushing enterprises to rapidly expand across cloud platforms, data ecosystems, AI systems, and connected devices. Insights from the CISO Forum’s CISO Priority Survey 2026 reveals that 44% of security leaders rank enterprise-wide cyber resilience as their top priority, while a majority place it within their top three strategic focus areas. Alongside resilience, CISOs are increasingly prioritizing AI security and governance as well as identity and data protection across complex cloud environments. These priorities reflect the growing need to secure emerging technologies while managing an expanding digital attack surface.

The CISO Forum Mid-Year conference 2026 will bring together 100+ CISOs and senior cybersecurity leaders from India’s leading enterprises, financial institutions, technology companies, and critical infrastructure sectors.
