Rajesh Chhabra, General Manager, India & South-Asia, Acronis: Calling upon technology leaders and industry experts to take on the challenges of cybersecurity head-on
Rajesh Chhabra, General Manager, India & South-Asia, Acronis, said, “Seeing such a varied set of leaders unite to take on the challenges of cybersecurity head-on is simply encouraging. As India continues its journey toward digital transformation, the event emphasizes the necessity of cooperative innovation and a proactive approach to cyber protection.”
“The dedication of Acronis to India’s digital future was demonstrated in the discussions at TRU Security Day 2025. By bringing together professionals from government, business, and other countries, we’re not only discussing cyber resilience on a global scale, but also creating conversations and collaborations required to make it a reality,” added Chhabra.
Prof. Triveni Singh emphasized the critical need for capacity building and the continuous training of cybersecurity professionals to effectively leverage cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions. “The need of the hour is structured and sustained training, because no amount of advanced technology can compensate for a lack of skilled personnel,” commented Prof.Singh
“Cybersecurity professionals aren’t made overnight; they require rigorous, hands-on experience, analytical thinking, and a deep understanding of the ever-evolving threat landscape to truly protect our digital infrastructure. Just as importantly, they must be well-versed in regulatory frameworks to ensure compliance and uphold security standards across sectors,” elaborated Prof. Singh.
Shri Prashant Kumar Mittal focused on the importance of fostering strong public-private collaboration to strengthen India’s cybersecurity infrastructure. “Addressing today’s cyber challenges requires more than just technical solutions; rather, it demands a unified effort. By bringing together the strengths of government institutions and private sector innovation, we can create a robust and agile cybersecurity ecosystem. Collaborative training initiatives, knowledge sharing, and joint frameworks will be essential in building a talent pool that is not only technically proficient but also aligned with national security and compliance priorities.”
