The National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, which works under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, will hold the third National Conference on Cyber Security, Digital Forensics and Intelligence in New Delhi on 16 and 17 November, at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre on Janpath. Its theme is Cyber Secure Bharat: Fortifying India's Digital Future. The first edition was held at Kohima in Nagaland in 2024 and the second at Gauhati University in Assam, and what began as a regional meeting has since widened into a national platform. Ten tracks will be taken up, covering cyber security, digital forensics, security of artificial intelligence, critical infrastructure, threat intelligence, blockchain and crypto, drone and internet-of-things forensics, digital evidence, cyber law and cloud security. The Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre, CERT-In, Delhi Police, the Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification body and the Software Technology Parks of India are among the knowledge partners. A hackathon named Cyber Kushti 2026, built in three levels around the themes Review, Attack and Defend, will run beside the technical sessions, and the institute will sign agreements with industry partners.
