QRC Engages with Cybersecurity Leaders at DSCI Member Symposium

June 27 , 2026

Hyderabad, India — June 24, 2026: QRC Assurance And Solutions participated in the Data Security Council of India (DSCI) Member Symposium – Hyderabad 2026, joining cybersecurity, privacy and technology leaders for discussions around some of the issues increasingly shaping India's digital trust landscape — from operationalizing the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) to managing AI-driven cyber risks and strengthening enterprise resilience.

Hosted by Providence India in Hyderabad, the half-day member symposium was designed as a focused forum for the DSCI community, combining expert panel discussions with an innovation showcase featuring emerging cybersecurity technologies. The event reinforced an increasingly important message for enterprises: cybersecurity, privacy and governance can no longer operate as independent compliance activities. They are becoming interconnected components of organizational resilience.

From DPDPA Readiness to Operational Privacy

One of the central discussions at the symposium focused on “DPDPA Implementation – Operationalizing Privacy in India's Evolving Regulatory Landscape.” The panel brought together CG Balaji, Anitha Vittal, Nasser Prakash, Vasanth Kumar and Richa Johri Gupta to examine the transition from understanding privacy obligations to implementing them within business operations. For organizations navigating India's changing privacy environment, that transition is significant. Effective privacy governance increasingly requires organizations to understand their data, establish clear accountability, integrate privacy controls into processes and maintain evidence that those controls operate effectively. The discussion closely reflects a broader shift within the industry: privacy compliance is moving from policy-level preparation toward operational implementation.

Preparing for AI-Driven Cyber Risk

The symposium also looked beyond today's regulatory requirements to examine how emerging technologies are reshaping enterprise risk. A second panel, “Securing the Next Decade: AI Threats & Cyber Resilience in the Hyperconnected Ecosystem,” featured Sudhindranath Byna, Siva Subrahmanyam Yedlapalli, Sriram L., Sai Pavan Kumar Surapaneni, Jitendra Singh and Sridhar Yerramilli. The discussion addressed the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and cybersecurity — including the new risks created by increasingly connected technology environments and the need for organizations to build security programs capable of adapting to them. AI is changing both sides of the cybersecurity equation. Organizations are adopting intelligent technologies to improve operations and security capabilities, while threat actors can use the same advances to increase the speed, scale and sophistication of attacks.

The resulting challenge is therefore broader than securing another technology platform. Organizations increasingly need governance structures capable of addressing AI risk, cybersecurity risk, privacy obligations and business resilience together.

Innovation Meets Governance

Beyond the panel discussions, the DSCI Member Symposium included an Innovation Showcase, providing participating technology companies with an opportunity to demonstrate emerging cybersecurity capabilities. The showcase featured organizations including QuilrAI, Cyber Evolve, Posidex Technologies, Seqrite, QClairvoyance Quantum Labs and Netenrich, highlighting developments spanning cybersecurity, data protection and emerging technologies. The combination of governance discussions and technology demonstrations was particularly relevant. Innovation can create significant business value, but sustainable adoption depends on organizations being able to establish appropriate security, privacy, risk and governance guardrails around new technologies.

QRC at the DSCI Member Symposium

For QRC Assurance And Solutions, participation in the symposium provided an opportunity to engage with members of India's cybersecurity ecosystem and exchange perspectives around cybersecurity, DPDPA, artificial intelligence, cyber resilience, quantum technology and information security. These conversations align closely with the challenges QRC encounters while working with organizations navigating increasingly interconnected security and compliance requirements. Rather than treating cybersecurity, privacy, AI governance and regulatory compliance as isolated programmes, enterprises are increasingly looking for ways to build integrated governance and assurance models that can evolve alongside regulatory and technological change.

Participation in industry forums such as the DSCI Member Symposium allows QRC to remain closely engaged with these developments while contributing to the broader dialogue around building secure and resilient digital businesses.

Building the Next Layer of Digital Trust

The Hyderabad symposium brought together more than 111 industry leaders, cybersecurity professionals and innovators, according to host Providence India, while DSCI's pre-event communication had anticipated participation from more than 200 members. Across the discussions, several priorities stood out: operationalizing privacy, governing the adoption of AI, improving cyber resilience, managing emerging risks and strengthening collaboration across the cybersecurity ecosystem.

For organizations, the direction is increasingly clear.

The next phase of cybersecurity maturity will not be defined simply by adding more controls. It will depend on the ability to connect governance, risk, privacy, cybersecurity and resilience into a coherent framework that supports both compliance and business transformation. QRC Assurance And Solutions remains committed to participating in industry initiatives that advance these conversations and to helping organizations translate evolving security and regulatory expectations into practical, sustainable governance programmes.
