Meet the people working on cyber resilience in Hyderabad, and hear about local meetings first.
A widely used, plain-language framework for organising a security programme around six functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover. A good starting point for plants building their first programme.
India's national computer emergency response team publishes directions on reporting cyber incidents, keeping logs and synchronising system clocks. Food businesses operating in India should know the reporting timelines that apply to them.
Help plan and run the Hyderabad chapter's meetups and workshops.
