DG Telecom underscored the collective responsibility of organisations and users in ensuring cyber safety. Mr Puri updated participants on the commissioning of the Telecom-CSIRT setup and its readiness across DoT field units.

Industry Expert Mr Abhijit Tripathy elaborated on the significance of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) frameworks in enhancing organisational resilience, while Mr Sampat Ray highlighted the rise of AI-enabled malware and deepfake-based phishing scams targeting mobile users.
