Strengthening India’s IoT Security Ecosystem: Ashtaksha Labs Joins Industry Brainstorming on IoT Security & Cyber Trust
Ashtaksha Labs Private Limited was privileged to participate in the “IoT Security Ecosystem & Sandbox – Brainstorming & Industry Interaction”, organized by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and C-DAC Bengaluru, with support from the IoT Security Foundation – Bharat.
Representing Ashtaksha Labs at this important Industry Interaction was our Founder & CEO, Mr. Nandi Dharma Kishore HN, contributing to discussions focused on strengthening Security, Trust, and Resilience across India’s rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.
Building Trust in India’s Connected Ecosystem
As Connected Technologies become increasingly integrated into Critical Infrastructure, Enterprises, Industries, and everyday life, ensuring the Security of IoT Devices has become a key priority.
At the heart of the interaction was an important question:
How Can India Build a Trusted Ecosystem Where Manufacturers Can Demonstrate Security, Enterprises Can Make Informed Procurement Decisions, and Users Can Confidently Deploy Connected Devices?
The discussion is particularly relevant as Connected Technologies continue to expand across sectors such as Smart Energy, Connected Mobility, Surveillance, Industrial IoT, Smart Infrastructure, and other Digital Ecosystems.
With this rapid adoption comes an equally important need for robust Security Validation, Testing Frameworks, Trusted Standards, and mechanisms that enable Organizations and Users to evaluate the Security of Connected Products.
IoT Security Sandbox and Bharat Cyber Trust Mark
Initiatives such as the IoT Security Sandbox and Bharat Cyber Trust Mark have the potential to play an important role in strengthening confidence across the Connected-Device Ecosystem.
A structured Security Ecosystem can support Manufacturers in validating the Security of their Products, help Enterprises make better-informed Technology Procurement Decisions, and ultimately strengthen User Confidence in Connected Devices and Services.
Such initiatives also encourage collaboration among Government, Industry, Academia, Cybersecurity Professionals, Technology Manufacturers, and other Stakeholders to address emerging IoT Security Challenges.
Our Commitment to Secure Innovation
At Ashtaksha Labs, we believe that Technological Innovation must progress alongside Cybersecurity, Resilience, and Digital Trust.
Participation in Industry Interactions such as this provides an important platform for Knowledge Exchange, Collaborative Thinking, and discussions around practical approaches to securing the next generation of Connected Technologies.
We look forward to continuing our engagement with the Cybersecurity and Technology Ecosystem and contributing towards building a Secure, Resilient, Trusted, and Sustainable IoT Ecosystem for India.
