QRC at National Cyber Security Conference 2026 – Hyderabad

Hyderabad, – 7 August 2026: As organizations accelerate digital transformation, cybersecurity is increasingly becoming a question of business resilience and trust – not simply technology protection.

Against this backdrop, QRC Assurance And Solutions participated as a Silver Partner at the National Cyber Security Conference 2026 – Hyderabad, organized by the National Cyber Security Research Council (NCSRC)

Held at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, the conference brought together more than 150 cybersecurity leaders, CISOs, government officials, policymakers, industry experts and members of academia for discussions around India’s evolving cybersecurity landscape.

The conference provided an opportunity to contribute directly to the industry’s conversation around cybersecurity assurance, resilience, risk governance and digital trust.

Cybersecurity Moves Closer to the Business Agenda

The cybersecurity challenge facing organizations is changing. AI adoption, cloud infrastructure, interconnected digital ecosystems and increasingly sophisticated threats are expanding both the scale and complexity of enterprise risk. The National Cyber Security Conference brought these challenges into focus through keynote sessions, technical presentations, expert panels and industry discussions covering areas including AI and cybersecurity, threat intelligence, cyber defence, information security and digital resilience.

The underlying message was increasingly clear: organizations cannot build sustainable digital businesses without building cybersecurity and resilience into the same foundation.

This is where assurance becomes particularly important. Security controls need to do more than exist. Organizations need confidence that those controls remain effective as technology, threats and business environments change.

QRC Brings Cybersecurity Assurance to the Conference Stage

Representing QRC at the conference were Satyanarayana Sarma (Sathish Sarma) Bandaru, Vice President – Customer Engagement, and Jagadeesh Kumar Dusi, Business Head, QRC Assurance And Solutions.

Beyond engaging with delegates at the QRC booth, the two leaders contributed to the conference through a dedicated Tech Talk on the evolving cybersecurity landscape and the role of assurance in building resilient digital ecosystems.

The session examined how organizations can strengthen cybersecurity while maintaining the trust of customers, partners and other stakeholders.

Six Priorities for Stronger Cybersecurity Assurance

The QRC Tech Talk highlighted several priorities for organizations navigating increasingly complex digital environments. These included:

• Strengthening cybersecurity assurance and organizational resilience
• Managing evolving cyber risks across digital environments
• Building security and trust into technology ecosystems
• Aligning cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives
• Improving risk visibility and governance
• Strengthening compliance and security-assurance frameworks

The discussion also emphasized the importance of creating a culture of continuous cybersecurity improvement. Together, these priorities point toward a significant shift in enterprise security thinking. Organizations increasingly need to move beyond asking whether they are compliant or whether particular controls have been implemented. The more important question is:

Can the organization demonstrate that its security controls continue to manage the risks they were designed to address?

Building Trust into the Digital Future

The conversations at National Cyber Security Conference 2026 reinforced an important principle:

Cybersecurity assurance is not simply about demonstrating compliance. It is about creating confidence that an organization can continue to operate securely as risks evolve.

As businesses become more digital and interconnected, that confidence will increasingly influence organizational resilience, regulatory preparedness and stakeholder trust.

Through its participation as a Silver Partner and its contribution to the conference’s knowledge programme, QRC Assurance And Solutions was proud to support NCSRC’s wider initiative toward strengthening India’s cybersecurity ecosystem.
