Commander Vivek Yadav, Scientist E, at C-DAC Patna, was invited as a distinguished panelist at BSides Ahmedabad, one of India's premier cybersecurity conferences, held on September 12th-13th, 2025.
The high-profile panel discussion "Cyber Warfare: Lessons from Today's Global Conflicts" brought together an exceptional lineup, including senior officers from the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and DRDO.
During the discussion, Cmdr. Vivek emphasised:
- How global cyber conflicts (in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific) highlight the increasing importance of cyberspace as a parallel battlefield.
- Why India must strengthen its resilience in critical infrastructure from power grids to healthcare.
- The pressing need for integrated collaboration, with government, military, and the private sector joining forces to protect India's cyberspace.
- Strategic recommendations on policy, technology, and talent development to prepare India for the next generation of conflicts.
The key takeaway from the panel was that in the era of hybrid warfare, cybersecurity is no longer just a support function but a frontline national security imperative.
This participation reinforces C-DAC Patna's commitment to advancing national cybersecurity readiness, and C-DAC Patna continues to contribute thought leadership in building a secure and resilient digital India.
