SQ1 Security Powers National Cyber Security Conference 2026 – Hyderabad Edition as Platinum Partner

SQ1 Security joined the National Cyber Security Conference 2026 (NCSC 2026), Hyderabad Edition, as Platinum Partner. Organized by the National Cyber Security Research Council (NCSRC), New Delhi, in association with AICTE and CERT-In, the conference pulled together cybersecurity leaders, policymakers, CISOs, government representatives, researchers, and technology experts for a day built around one question: how does India secure its digital future? Critical infrastructure security, AI-driven threats, and DPDP compliance sat at the heart of the conversation. Satish Narayanan Opens the Conversation Satish Narayanan, CEO of SQ1 Security, took the stage as a featured speaker, setting the tone for the day. Santosh Kumar J on Securing Critical Infrastructure Santosh Kumar J, Vice President – Growth at SQ1, joined a Fireside Chat titled "Cybersecurity of Critical Infrastructure – Building Resilience for a Secure Digital Future," alongside Nagesh Jha (CISO, NSDL), Vamsi Krishna GV (CISO, NopalCyber), and Rajendra K. (Head of Cyber Security & IT, HBL Engineering Limited). The panel moved through what real resilience looks like when power grids, hospitals, and transport systems are all connected and all exposed, agreeing on one thing above all: securing critical infrastructure isn't an IT function anymore, it's a matter of national stability. Discussion areas included:

• Protecting critical infrastructure against evolving cyber threats
• Building cyber resilience and business continuity
• Securing interconnected IT, OT, and digital environments
• Zero Trust and modern security architectures
• AI-driven attacks and emerging technology risks
• Third-party and supply-chain security
• Strengthening collaboration between industry, government, and cybersecurity stakeholders

Adhithya Rajasekaran on Agentic Automation for DPDP Compliance Adhithya Rajasekaran, Technical Product Manager at SQ1, led a Tech Talk walking delegates through how AI-powered automation is reshaping the way enterprises handle privacy. The message was simple: compliance shouldn't be something you document after the fact. It should run continuously, in the background, proving itself as it goes. He covered:

• The evolving DPDP compliance landscape in India
• AI-driven agentic automation for privacy and governance
• Intelligent consent management and data lifecycle automation
• Continuous compliance monitoring and risk mitigation
• Automating policy enforcement and audit readiness
• Building privacy-first, AI-enabled organizations

About SQ1 Security Most organizations don't fail at compliance because they lack policies. They fail because those policies live in spreadsheets, emails, and good intentions, disconnected from what's actually happening across their infrastructure. SQ1 Security exists to close that gap. Stakflo turns DPDP compliance into an automated, continuous process, replacing paperwork with proof. Scani5 gives security teams the visibility and testing to know their critical infrastructure is actually protected, not just assumed to be. Together, they help India's enterprises move from documentation to demonstrated resilience.
