“We Must Bring Digital Discipline”: Aftab Saloda
Awareness Seminar on “Cyber Security” Organized at UCCI
Udaipur | “It is a major misconception that cyberattacks target only large enterprises. Taxi drivers, hospitals, hotels, airports, and even individuals are becoming victims of cyberattacks. In the current scenario, adopting cybersecurity is essential not only for banks, financial institutions, industries, and businesses, but also for all organizations and citizens of the country. The government is also planning to introduce a cybersecurity law soon.”
This was stated by Mr. Aftab Saloda during an awareness seminar organized at the Udaipur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UCCI).
The Udaipur Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized an awareness program on the topic **“Cyber Security”** at the UCCI building. The resource person for the event was Mr. Aftab Saloda, Senior Vice President – Cyber Security at Silvers and former Managing Director of Accenture Security. He possesses more than 25 years of experience in the field of cybersecurity across India, the UK, the USA, and the Middle East.
At the beginning of the program, UCCI President Mr. Manish Galundia welcomed the participants and stated that the awareness session was organized for entrepreneurs in Udaipur in view of the upcoming government cybersecurity regulations, so that industries could become alert and prepared in time.
During the technical session, Mr. Aftab Saloda said that cyber threats are affecting every section of society, including businesses, families, communities, and even entire nations. He emphasized that identifying cyber risks and safeguarding personal and professional data is the responsibility of every individual. The session helped businesspersons and startup founders understand their current security preparedness and encouraged them to view cybersecurity not merely as protection against threats but also as an important value addition for business growth.
He further stated that during “Operation Sindoor,” several critical infrastructure companies in the country became targets of cyberattacks. Therefore, it is extremely important to understand how and where personal data can be used. He urged everyone to adopt digital discipline.
UCCI Senior Vice President Mr. Sandeep Bapna also shared his views on the growing cyber threats in the manufacturing industry.
During the question-and-answer session, Mr. Gaurav Pandey and Mrs. Sulagna Chaudhary from Silvers addressed the queries and concerns of the participants. The program was conducted by UCCI Honorary General Secretary Mr. Ashish Chhabra.
Around 55 participants attended the event and gained valuable insights into cybersecurity. At the end of the program, Vocational Training Standing Committee Chairman Mr. Hansraj Chaudhary expressed gratitude to all attendees.
