As a President of Cyber Society of India, I delivered welcome address and set the context of topic outlining on current Cyber threat landscape, Digital Edge wherein we’re experiencing technological advancements, digital transformation and Generative AI role in log analytics, predictive analysis, etc.

Also emphasised on Adjudication Process & understanding of this clause is crucial in the context of the digital age, when cyber events are on the rise. Many people are unaware of the adjudicating procedure where the victim is not at fault and has lost money as a result of the intermediary’s negligence.

The intermediary is required to implement “Reasonable security practise” to protect the computer and computer network, and if they fail to do so they will be liable for compensating damages for the negligence. At the end, Mr.Balu Swaminathan, Secretary – Cyber Society of India, proposed vote of thanks.
