IFSEC India expo highlights push towards future-ready security and surveillance framework

New Delhi, Dec 11 (UNI) Managing Director of National Informatics Centre Services Incorporated(NICSI) Alok Tiwari on Thursday said that Artificial Intelegence(AI) would soon become the foundation for intelligent public services and mission-critical digital platforms.
He was addressing the 18th edition of IFSEC India 2025 expo here on Thursday.
The expo will have more than 150 exhibitors, over 350 brands and an expected 20,000 visitors. This year’s theme, “Shaping Nations, Securing Futures,” reflects India’s evolving need for intelligent, large-scale and AI-supported security systems.
The inaugural ceremony saw the presence of senior officials from government and public-sector bodies. In their remarks, they emphasised how security challenges are shifting rapidly in both physical and digital domains.
Tiwari noted that cyberattacks have intensified sharply, especially after Operation Sindoor, with attempted hits on government networks rising nearly seven times.
He highlighted the need for stronger defences against ransomware, phishing and supply-chain threats while also pointing to the emerging challenge of quantum computing, which could make existing security algorithms outdated by 2028.
He added that cloud computing continues to scale quickly, bringing both opportunities and new risks for national digital infrastructure.
Padma Jaiswal, Secretary of the UT of Puducherry, said cybercrime has grown into a trillion-dollar global threat even as India’s cybersecurity capabilities are still expanding.
She underlined that almost every citizen today faces some form of digital attack, from phishing to ransomware, and as India’s digital economy, UPI systems and public data platforms grow, stronger public-private partnerships will be essential.
She added that predictive and preventive security frameworks will play a key role as India works toward becoming a $30-trillion economy by 2047.
Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director of Informa Markets in India, highlighted the strong demand for modern and interoperable security technologies across sectors. He pointed out that India’s electronic security market is expanding at one of the fastest rates in the world—around 14–18 per cent annually.
He said the rise of safe-city projects, modern metro networks, industrial automation, and smart workplaces has pushed the need for AI-led and integrated surveillance systems, and that the scale of this year’s IFSEC India reflects the trust industry places in the platform.
