BANGALORE, INDIA: The Annual Karnataka Conference organized by ISACA Bangalore Chapter last week saw information security professionals and cyber law experts from across industries share their insights on the issues, threats, opportunities and challenges organizations undertake the digital transformation journey.

B. J. Srinath, Director General - ICERT, DeitY said, “This makes it important for them to have the requisite knowledge and skills to ensure these disruptive technologies are leveraged effectively and efficiently.”

During the two-day conference, domain experts shared their insights on the various aspects of cyber security including lessons learnt from the recent attacks, best practices to follow, and how to address the shortage of skilled security professionals.

The attendees got an opportunity to learn more about ISACA’s Cybersecurity Nexus (CSX)—a holistic resource providing credentials, training, research and networking to help address the cyber security skills gap.

R. V.
