New Delhi, February, 2025 – Channel Technologies successfully hosted the first edition of CT Cyber Charcha in February at IIT Delhi, with ISACA as the community partner and IIT Delhi as the academic partner. The conference brought together industry leaders for powerful keynotes and panel discussions on the evolving cybersecurity landscape.

“It was a really good event, well organized. What I liked about this event were the two points: one, it was brand-agnostic, and two, it focused on the mid-market. So thanks, CT, for doing it.” said Mr. Mandar Kulkarni, National Security Officer at Microsoft.
A key highlight of the event was the unveiling of findings from Channel Technologies' latest cybersecurity survey.

This survey was conducted as part of a broader initiative to assess cybersecurity trends, challenges, and investment priorities within mid-segment organizations. Insights were gathered from CISOs, CIOs, industry experts, and IT leaders using a quantitative and qualitative approach, incorporating survey questionnaires and expert interviews. The research covered key areas such as cyber risk management, technology adoption, regulatory compliance, and security investment priorities.

The findings highlight that mid-segment organizations are increasing security budgets, with a strong focus on cloud security, endpoint protection, and IAM. However, compliance with GDPR, DPDP Act, and industry regulations remains a challenge. Companies are also investing in AI-driven threat detection, Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), and Extended Detection & Response (XDR) though skill shortages and integration complexities hinder rapid adoption.
