ISC2 Chennai Chapter organized its annual Cyber Security Conference at the MMA Auditorium in Chennai on the 22nd of February 2025. The event revolved around the theme “Shaping the future of Cybersecurity.”

During the conference, I addressed the audience, setting the context by discussing the current Cybersecurity Threat landscape and highlighting the technological advancements and security trends of 2024. These included the rising trend of social engineering attacks and the utilization of AI for deep fakes. I emphasized the importance of leveraging AI in security defense, focusing on analytics for anomaly detection, automation for prioritizing playbooks for containment actions, and monitoring attack surfaces. Additionally, I stressed the significance of Next Gen SOC capabilities with AI/ML analytics, Red teaming to evaluate control effectiveness, and continuous security maturity assessments. As the President of ISC2 Chennai, I warmly welcomed all participants and speakers.
