Day 2 at #AISS2025 witnessed an important and engaging #plenary session on ‘Future of Global Cybersecurity Cooperation – Reflecting on Key Dimensions’. Joining Mr. @AtulKumar_19, Director - Government Initiatives & Global, DSCI, was a global panel comprising: -Ms. Filippa Braarud, Second Secretary | Oceans, Emerging Tech and Digital Public Goods | Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs -Ms. Melissa Anne M. Telan, Second Secretary and Consul | Political and Economic Section Head | The Embassy of the Philippines -Mr. Aladin Legault d'Auteuil, Senior Trade Commissioner, Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada The panel began by addressing the growing complexity driven by accelerated digitization and the convergence of IT and OT environments. Suggestions emerged around leveraging open source and its benefits, particularly its ability to be reshared and reused. Further emphasis was placed on the importance of building global cooperation for cybersecurity, as the domain lacks strict perimeters. Developing frameworks is necessary to ensure increased collaboration among member states that come together in associations such as ASEAN. Global governance was equally highlighted, with global summits like G20 and G7 helping shape the dialogue. Suggestions were also made to accelerate legislation development to match the evolving pace of technology.

A powerful discussion unfolded on the growing complexity of digital public infrastructure in the face of evolving geopolitical dynamics during the #firesidechat at #FINSEC2025 on ‘Sustaining Financial Infrastructure in Emerging Geopolitical Scenarios’. In the Indian context, where digital public infrastructure is driving inclusivity and last-mile reach, the erosion of public trust poses a serious threat, especially in the financial sector, where trust is paramount, as quipped by Mr. @saravade, Strategy Advisor and Independent Director, and Mr. @AtulKumar_19, Director, DSCI. As global tensions rise, so does the urgency to safeguard the integrity of digital systems.

The recently held ‘International Seminar on Cyber Warfare 2025: Strategies and Challenges’ facilitated an amazing interaction on #Cyber_Diplomacy. The informative exchange during the fireside chat with H.E. Marje Luup, Ambassador of Estonia to India, Maj. Sadhna Singh, NITI Aayog Official, and Dr. Oshrit Birvadker brought in diplomatic, military, and geopolitical perspectives. With blurring boundaries across policy, diplomacy, and military strategy, the growing importance of cyber diplomacy was discussed at length. It was also stressed that cyber threats ripple out into governance, public trust, economic stability, and international relations, thus, the discussion on cyber is strategically central in global conversations now. The panel also explored the pivotal role played by emerging technologies like AI and Quantum, which are soon going to chart the course of cyber diplomacy. Some key highlights from the conversation: -Emphasis laid on fostering public-private partnerships. -Digital literacy to become a national priority. -Forming essential coalitions to develop global partnerships. -India's position in leading the Global South frontier. @nasscom @GoI_MeitY @MEAIndia @amitabhk87 @AtulKumar_19 | @cscihyd @USIofIndia | #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity #CyberResilience #DigitalIndia
