National Conference on Telecom Security in the AI and Quantum Age – Securing India's Digital Backbone in the Era of AI and Quantum Computing

Sh. Pankaj Verma, National Cyber Security Officer, Cisco – India & South Asia, shared strategic perspectives on strengthening telecom security in an era defined by AI, legacy infrastructure, and the emergence of quantum computing.

Key Takeaways:

* Three uncomfortable truths are shaping the future of cybersecurity:

- AI is accelerating cyber operations, requiring organizations to rethink their defense strategies.
- The greatest security risk in telecom networks is not the newest technology, but the legacy systems that continue to support critical infrastructure.
- Quantum computing represents a present-day preparedness challenge, demanding proactive planning and adoption of quantum-safe security measures.

* Measuring security by the number of vulnerabilities is no longer sufficient. The fundamental question is:
"Can the network continue to operate securely while under attack?"

* Open-source collaboration and vulnerability research play a critical role in strengthening cyber resilience through responsible identification and mitigation of security weaknesses.

* Trust modernization should be viewed as a strategic security investment, enabling organizations to build resilient, adaptive, and future-ready digital infrastructure.

* In an increasingly dynamic threat environment, organizations must be capable of defending at machine speed through automation, intelligence, and continuous monitoring.

The session underscored that securing India's telecom ecosystem requires resilient network architecture, modernization of legacy systems, and a forward-looking cybersecurity strategy that is prepared for both AI-driven threats and the quantum era.
