How Cisco is securing digital India

Digital is not just about technology implementation. It encompasses the transformation of business, enterprises and governments using technology, so as to make experiences better, communication effective and work simpler. Thus so far, the rising levels of digitisation and digital adoption have ushered in a significant transformation in India, however, reliable and resilient digital transformation can only be achieved when it has a foundation of cybersecurity beneath it, says Anil Nair, vice-president, engineering, Security Business Group, Cisco India.

Digitisation offers new opportunities but also new risks. “We believe that trust is the new currency of a digital India,” says Daisy Chittilapilly, president, Cisco India & SAARC. Doubling down on its commitment to India, the San Jose, California-based firm announced significant security innovations and investments in security infrastructure in the country to help Indian organisations become more resilient and tackle the cybersecurity risks in a hybrid world.

Cisco is all for a skilling revolution in the cybersecurity space as well. It aims to train 500,000 cybersecurity professionals over three years across India. The training will be provided through Cisco’s flagship programme, Networking Academy, that is celebrating its 25th anniversary. In India, over 1.2 million students have been trained with digital and cybersecurity skills since inception.
