Axidian joined Dine with AlphaSec, a full-day cybersecurity event organized by Technophiles India in partnership with BD Software. Throughout the day, we had the chance to talk with CISOs, CIOs, and security teams from across India about practical cybersecurity concerns and AI-related risks. The event brought together professionals from finance, insurance, manufacturing, and other industries.
In what ways does AI change cyber risk monitoring? — answered by Kirill Bondarenko
One of the highlights of the event was a panel discussion titled: “Cybersecurity’s Double-Edged Sword: AI’s Role in Defense and Offense”.
Kirill Bondarenko, APAC Sales Director at Axidian, joined other experienced professionals from the region to share perspectives on how AI is influencing both protection and attack vectors. While AI in cybersecurity was the main topic, the discussion also touched on broader developments shaping security strategy in India.
Kirill contributed a technical angle, focusing on how AI can support practical use cases in privileged access management (PAM) and access control, and what risks come with automation when not implemented thoughtfully.
Real Needs from Real Companies: What Indian Leaders Are Looking For
Throughout the day, we spoke with dozens of professionals. Many showed active interest in:
- PAM solutions tailored to the needs of financial and manufacturing sectors
- Identity Access Management (IAM) that works across hybrid IT setups
- Growing awareness around ITDR — Identity Threat Detection and Response
- Secure authentication methods for both corporate and OT environments
The conversations confirmed what we’ve seen across the region: Indian organizations are seeking practical, scalable solutions that address real operational pain points.
India’s Security Landscape Is Growing Smarter
