We had an amazing CISOPlatform Roundtable in Delhi on 4th Dec, hosted as a closed-door session on "Inside the Silent Battlefield: Intelligence Insights on Cyber Threats" with Shri A.K. Dhasmana (Former Secretary, R&AW and Chairman, NTRO).
It was a privilege to have 40+ CISOs in one room. The depth of conversation and shared experiences made this session truly powerful and highlighted the critical role security leaders play in protecting both enterprise and national interests.
Key Takeaways from the Discussion
- State and non-state actors are sharpening their tactics
Adversaries are continuously evolving their cyber warfare techniques to target national and enterprise-critical infrastructure, using stealth, misinformation, and long-term infiltration strategies. - AI, quantum technologies, and supply-chain infiltration are amplifying risk
Emerging technologies are converging with hostile intent. AI, quantum capabilities, and supply-chain vulnerabilities are making attack surfaces more dynamic, complex, and difficult to defend. - From point-in-time testing to continuous validation
There is an urgent need to shift from traditional point-in-time audits to continuous AI-based penetration testing and red teaming, so that organizations can proactively discover and remediate weaknesses before adversaries exploit them.
The discussion reinforced the importance of intelligence-led cybersecurity, continuous validation of security controls, and deeper collaboration among CISOs to stay ahead of rapidly evolving threats.
A big thanks to the entire FireCompass team for supporting this initiative. This is exactly the kind of intelligence-led engagement we aim to drive for the CISOPlatform community.
What's Next?
We are excited to continue this momentum.
