As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve in scale and sophistication, Identity Shield Summit 2026 organized by miniOrange will bring together senior leaders from government, policy bodies, and enterprise cybersecurity in Pune on January 16 and 17, 2026. The two-day summit will position Pune as a key destination for serious conversations on cyber risk, digital trust, and security readiness.
The summit is expected to attract over 5,000 attendees and 75+ cybersecurity experts from India and abroad, creating one of the country’s largest gatherings focused on identity-led security discussions.
Identity Shield Summit 2026 will focus on identity security, digital trust, and enterprise cybersecurity, with discussions spanning Identity and Access Management (IAM), Zero Trust frameworks, customer identity protection, fraud prevention, and the impact of AI-driven and identity-based cyber threats on modern organizations. The agenda is designed to move beyond policy discussions toward practical, operational decision-making in real-world environments.
The summit is being led by Mr. Anirban Mukherjee, Founder and CEO of miniOrange, an India founded cybersecurity company specializing in identity security solutions with a strong global footprint.
“Cybersecurity must become a ‘cybersena’ movement in India. The country needs close to two million skilled cybersecurity professionals to truly establish itself as the global backbone for digital security,” said Anirban Mukherjee, Founder & CEO, miniOrange.
Identity Shield Summit 2026 will host prominent voices from India’s cybersecurity and governance ecosystem, including Mr. Vinayak Godse, CEO, Data Security Council of India (DSCI); Mr. Brijesh Singh, Additional Director General of Police, Government of Maharashtra; and Commander Vivek Yadav, Joint Director (Cybersecurity and Quantum) at C-DAC, Ministry of Electronics. Their participation underscores the summit’s focus on policy, law enforcement, and future-ready cybersecurity frameworks.
Designed as a neutral, knowledge-sharing platform, the summit will bring together CISOs, IT leaders, cybersecurity practitioners, and industry experts through keynote sessions, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops and live security challenges centered on real-world attack scenarios.
With Pune emerging as a key technology and innovation hub, Identity Shield Summit 2026 aims to strengthen national conversations around India’s role in shaping global cybersecurity, digital identity, and trust-led digital infrastructure.
