Pune: Trend Micro successfully wrapped up the Pune segment of its Risk to Resilience World Tour in India. The event saw the participation of 60 attendees from 35 organizations, marking a pivotal moment in a tour covering seven Indian cities. This initiative follows last year’s extensive global engagement across 60 countries, including visits to five major Indian cities.
Under the theme “Innovation Meets Adrenaline,” the event fostered discussions on modern cyber resilience, the integration of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) with Attack Surface Risk Management (ASRM), and strategies for effective cloud risk mitigation.
Sharda Tickoo, Country Manager for India & SAARC at Trend Micro, emphasized the strategic importance of Pune, stating, “As global security trends emerge here, local businesses seek comprehensive IT visibility, technology consolidation, seamless integration with other cybersecurity products, fewer false positives, and enhanced cybersecurity resilience.
Our ASRM empowers these enterprises with superior visibility, proactive risk management, and fortified security postures. Leading IT and financial companies in this market trust our Gen AI-powered Trend Vision One platform, which scales seamlessly across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, offering comprehensive threat visibility and actionable insights.”
The event also featured a panel discussion with Manikrao Patil, Group CISO at Kirloskar Group, and Solkar Nagaraj, CISO at Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Co. Ltd., on the theme "Winning Strategies for Cyber Consolidation and Communication." The discussion was moderated by Kunal Kimatkar, Regional Head, West - Enterprise Business at Trend Micro.
A recent Trend Micro report ranks India as the fifth most targeted nation globally for ransomware attacks, with the Manufacturing, Government, and Banking sectors being the most affected by malware.
In response to the increasing complexity of cyberattacks, especially with the rise of Generative AI, Trend Micro has extended its Risk to Resilience World Tour to seven Indian cities this year. This expansion aims to share advanced strategies for enhancing organizational resilience and building enduring partnerships.
