The Story in Brief
N. Manjula, Secretary of Karnataka’s Department of Electronics, IT and BT, said on Wednesday that cybersecurity is no longer just a technology issue but an economic imperative and governance priority. She spoke at a Cyber Dialogue jointly organised by the Karnataka government and the Israeli Consulate in Bengaluru.
The event, held under the theme “Stronger Together. Secure Tomorrow,” brought together senior officials, cybersecurity experts, and a delegation of 10 Israeli companies. Discussions covered four areas: innovation and start-ups, industry partnership, talent and skills, and policy and trust. The dialogue aimed to translate knowledge exchange into practical collaboration and strengthen resilience of critical digital infrastructure, The Hindu reports.
The Indian Opinion
Some dismiss such government-Israel cyber dialogues as photo ops. But this one came with a concrete agenda: innovation, talent, policy, and trust. A 10-company Israeli delegation did not just sit through speeches, they held technology demos and B2B meetings. The real test will be whether these leads turn into actual start-up partnerships or critical-infrastructure projects. Will Karnataka track the outcomes of these meetings?
