From September 2–4, Axidian took part in the CIO100 Symposium and Awards, one of India’s key gatherings for technology decision-makers. Together with our partner RP tech India, we spent two days connecting with CISOs, CIOs, and IT leaders from some of the country’s largest enterprises — across finance, manufacturing, pharma, and more.
CIO100 brought together senior IT leaders to talk about what’s actually working and what still needs to evolve in AI adoption, infrastructure modernization, and enterprise cybersecurity.
For Axidian, the event was a chance to meet organizations dealing with fragmented environments, regional compliance needs, and complex access challenges. It also lets us demonstrate how our solutions, especially for privileged access, can be deployed in both traditional IT and isolated OT networks.
Bridging Strategy and Execution in Enterprise IT
The agenda at CIO100 India focused on the priorities shaping executive decisions in 2025. Discussions touched on everything from shaping AI strategy at the board level to rethinking software development in the age of GenAI. Cloud optimization and hybrid infrastructure also remained high on the list, as did creating consistent customer experiences and building a resilient cybersecurity culture.
But beneath the forward-looking themes, many participants voiced a shared concern: the difficulty of execution. Even with clear strategies, organizations often struggle to integrate new technologies into legacy systems, ensure security isn’t left behind, and prepare internal teams to adopt and manage change.
This disconnect between vision and implementation was one of the most relevant challenges raised throughout the event.
Why Events Like CIO100 Matter
The Indian enterprise market is moving fast but not uniformly. Different industries are facing different security and transformation hurdles, and no one-size-fits-all approach exists.
Participating in CIO100 Symposium and Awards allowed us to engage directly with those leading this shift, understand the specific roadblocks they face, and share how our platform helps meet both operational and compliance goals.
