Cybersecurity Conferences In India

In this post, we take a look at Cybersecurity Conferences taking place in India, specifically throughout 2019.

All events and conferences that are listed on this page are in descending order.

Cybersecurity In India
According to the United National Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) India is ranked 23rd in their rankings (however please bear in mind that rank hasn’t been updated for 2019).

There’s no doubt that India’s Cybersecurity community is booming. Growth in the InfoSec space in India is expected to be driven by dozens of government initiatives towards digitizing (modernizing) key economic sectors. The rapid uptake of Social Media, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud & IoT technologies, et al have all boosted the demand for cybersecurity solutions and services across the country.

Cybersecurity Conferences in India in 2020
By our reckoning, there are over 40 major Indian InfoSec events in Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad. There are also a decent amount of events in Bangalore, primarily due to the fact that over 35 percent of all the IT companies present in India is located within that region.

Inevitably, with tech being such an important driver to the Indian economy it is hardly surprising that Cybersecurity Conferences are also growing in tandem with events.

We love BSides events. We like them because they’re a great opportunity to meet local Professional InfoSec Practitioners.

Typically BSides are either free or are priced affordably.

If you have an association with Cybercrime in India and live in Hyderabad, then this is an event that you ought to attend. Topics include the “Indian Critical Infrastructure Protection” (so we suspect that there will be SCADA/ ICS related talks) and discussions on the Indian Government’s policies and approach to tacking Cybercrime.

 July 3rd, 2019  

Taking place in Bangalore, this is an excellent event addressing AI and IoT. Whilst it may not be a puritanical Cybersecurity Conference it certainly seems fascinating and we’d recommend you to learn more about it.

Annual Cyber Security Conclave (CyVIT)

We’ve recommended this event for our upcoming events IT Security events in India for 2019 because OWASP does such amazing work with regards to seeking and helping patch web application security. Goa seems to host many other conferences, and this is one that we absolutely recommend. And of course – it is free to attend!
