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.

BSides Delhi

 October 11th, 2019  

We love BSides events. We like them because they’re a great opportunity to meet local Professional InfoSec Practitioners. If you live and work in the Delhi region of India then we’d encourage you to associate yourself with this BSides Chapter and meet like-minded folk! Typically BSides are either free or are priced affordably.

Kenes Exhibitions Cyber Security Conference

 September 4th, 2019 - September 5th, 2019 

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.

Annual IoT and AI Conference

 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)

 April 4th, 2019 - April 5th, 2019 

There seem to be quite a lot of Cybercrime related Conferences this year in India, and this is another interesting and worthwhile event to attend – especially if you are you’re working in fields such as Digital Forensics and of course, Cybercrime.

PCI India Forum

 March 13th, 2019 - March 13th, 2019 

Work in PCI in New Delhi? Then you’ll be interested in this event.

OWASP SeaSides

 February 27th, 2019 - February 28th, 2019 Recommended Event Free Event

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!
