Cyberattacks Surge 47%: Goa Conclave to Chart India’s Digital Defence

India faces a critical cybersecurity challenge. A staggering 47% rise in cyberattacks in 2025 has targeted major financial institutions and critical infrastructure. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for robust digital defence strategies.

The Economic Times CISO (ETCISO) is responding to this crisis. Their 8th Annual Conclave, scheduled for September 18-21, 2025, at the Grand Hyatt, Goa, will address the issue head-on.

This year’s theme, “The CISO Imperative: Resilience, Agility, and Strategic Leadership,” is perfectly timed. The conclave will bring together leading cybersecurity experts to discuss innovative solutions and best practices.

The discussions will focus on building organizational resilience against sophisticated cyber threats. The event aims to equip CISOs with the tools and strategies needed to navigate the evolving digital landscape.

This crucial conclave comes at a pivotal moment for India. As our digital economy expands, strengthening cybersecurity is no longer optional; it’s paramount for national security and economic stability.
