ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Security Playbook Needs a Reset.
AI is creating new attack surfaces. Identities are multiplying beyond humans. Cloud and data are expanding the enterprise perimeter. And resilience is being tested by threats that move faster than traditional security models.
CISO Playbook 2026 — RESET. ARCHITECT. DEFEND. brings together 75+ India’s top CISOs and cybersecurity leaders for two immersive days focused on one fundamental question:
What should the next enterprise security playbook look like?
Across AI Security, Cloud & Identity, Data Protection and Cyber Resilience, leaders will challenge existing assumptions, explore emerging approaches and exchange perspectives on the decisions shaping enterprise security.
Through Think Tank Sessions, closed-door conversations, peer intelligence and technology discovery, CISO Playbook moves beyond discussion to help security leaders rethink what comes next.
THREE IMPERATIVES. ONE SECURITY AGENDA.
RESET
Challenge legacy security assumptions. Rethink strategies built for a threat landscape that no longer exists.
ARCHITECT
Build security into the architecture of the AI-first enterprise — across cloud, identity, data and infrastructure.
DEFEND
Prepare for threats that move faster, adapt faster and operate across an increasingly connected enterprise.
