Following an engaging first day where the experts shared their views on how to enhance one’s project management skills, we were all set to welcome our news guest speakers on day two of the virtual summit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The speakers of day 2 included:<\/strong><\/p>\n The panelists of the panel discussion:<\/b><\/p>\n The second day of the summit started with a compact session of <\/span>Mr. Jigar Mehta,<\/b> Project Manager, Capgemini, talking about the new wave of Project Management: \u201cLean-Agile\u201d. The key extracts from the session are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n The second session of day 2 was on Customer Centricity by Design Thinking. <\/span>Ms. Shruti Nair<\/b>, AMC, ICICI Prudential and <\/span>Dr. Rashmi Jain<\/b>, Academician, Chetana\u2019s Institute of Management jointly discussed this topic that revealed a number of avenues of customer behaviour and satisfaction. The key takeaways from this session are:<\/span><\/p>\n Now, coming to the last \u2018trinity\u2019 among the three, <\/span>Mr. Vivek Kedia<\/b>, Founder, MobiTrail, discussed \u2018<\/span>Incorporating Information Security into IT Project Management\u2019. IT security or digital security is the core of a successful business growth strategy, hence, this session turned to be engaging. After a brief introduction of MobiTrail, he said there are organizations that are more sensitive to data security vulnerability (like the BFSI industry). He spoke about the traditional IT Project Management cycle where the IT security vulnerabilities lie.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The next part of the session was taken over by <\/span>Mr. Lalit Popli<\/b>, COO, ARCON, who shared his insights on the \u201cImportance of Identities and Privilege Management Users in Information Security\u201d domain. The key takeaways from the session were:<\/span><\/p>\n Towards the end of the event, there was a panel discussion among all the delegates and invitees as mentioned above. Mr. Lalit Popli from ARCON was the moderator of the session. It was the concluding session of the virtual summit. This esteemed panel covered all the areas that were showcased in the last two days and added their valuable inputs to ensure a complete knowledge sharing session.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Mr. Vikaas Sachdeva<\/b> contributed to this question by stating that the paranoia of a CIO is the key to stay updated with the emerging IT risks and the threat patterns. He added that organizations keep on adopting new technologies to stay competitive with the security trends. However, very few among them conduct regular audits to ensure security effectiveness as well as preparedness. Even minutest glitches should be addressed to avoid any catastrophic incident.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mr. Ranjan Revandkar<\/b> responded to this question humbly by bringing the context of an age-old saying, \u201cDevils never sleep.\u201d Being a CISO, it is never possible for anyone in any organization to plan for a routine. Mr. Ranjan added that whenever there is an apparent end-of-the-day, a black-hooded hacker might start his\/ her day at that time. The result is that a CISO’s day is not yet over. Hence, even if we plan a day\u2019s work, it might not lead to accomplishment at the desired time. Any priority might arise anytime (even at the wee hours) and then a CISO is at work.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ms. Vandana Verma<\/b>, being the founder of InfoSeckids and a core researcher of this project, explained that educating kids about what is right and what is wrong has become too crucial today. In this digital age, it is never possible for parents to restrict their children from internet access. Normally parents give in to the curiosity of today\u2019s kids. Also, when parents are working, then keeping a smartphone with their kid is \u2018apparently\u2019 more convenient for instant communication to stay updated with their whereabouts. While countries from Europe and N&S America have already given utmost importance to cyber rules for kids, Ms. Vandana focused on this area of cybersecurity in India to prevent \u2018<\/span>digitally uncontrolled & unsecured<\/span><\/i>\u2019 childhood. Many parents today are not even aware that YouTube and YouTube Kids are two different apps. So, awareness is the key to ensure a digitally sound future for our next generation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n While responding to this, <\/span>Commander Vinod Singh Ujlain<\/b> spoke about cyber warfare. While most of the confidential defence strategies are kept secret under government supervision, there are certain operational blueprints of the army that require complete secrecy. Earlier, it required secret locations to store the records, but today digital storage has emancipated the requirement of a secured access control environment. The extent of confidentiality is so much over here that the lieutenants or colonels are not updated about these strategic secrets.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to <\/span>Mr. Vishal Samant<\/b>, while answering the question, identification of the key personnels to appoint for a project is very important. Every individual has a different set of KRAs and it is upto the organization how they can utilize those KRAs for a successful project. Any project would also require a team of senior management who can keep a track of proceedings on a regular basis to ensure timely completion. A project coordinator also has to coordinate from all levels – including senior management to basic first level employees through clear communication. If there is any plan for introducing HRMS application for HR or ERP application for finance – any project would require involvement of all levels of employees with different roles and responsibilities. The conventional project organization chart helps enterprises to chalk out a proper project plan with a proper allocation of resources.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The educational and knowledge sharing 2-day virtual summit ended with a thanks giving note. Dr. Madhumita Patil and Mr. Lalit Popli thanked all eminent speakers and panelists for making this virtual summit a grand success. This gathering of industry stalwarts added value to the whole idea of bringing the connection of customer, security and project management in the modern business world.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PART 2 Following an engaging first day where the experts shared their views on how to enhance one’s project management skills, we were all set to welcome our news guest speakers on day two of the virtual summit.\u00a0 DAY 2 The speakers of day 2 included: Mr. Jigar Mehta, Delivery Project Manager, Capgemini Ms. Shruti […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":4993,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,83],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cyber-security","category-virtual-summit"],"acf":{"blog_inner_page_contents":[{"acf_fc_layout":"hero_section","image":4993,"news_logo":"","publish_date":"","reading_time":"","heading":"","para":"","cta_text":"","cta_url":"","is_featured_post":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"page_contents","social_media_items":null,"sidebar_item_desktop":[{"id":"PART 2","item_name":"PART 2"},{"id":"DAY 2","item_name":"DAY 2"},{"id":"How to stay abreast with the latest cybersecurity trends?","item_name":"How to stay abreast with the latest cybersecurity trends?"},{"id":"How does a CISO plan his\/ her day of work?","item_name":"How does a CISO plan his\/ her day of work?"},{"id":"How is Information Security important to kids and parents?","item_name":"How is Information Security important to kids and parents?"},{"id":"How does cybersecurity contribute to defense and the army?","item_name":"How does cybersecurity contribute to defense and the army?"},{"id":"What kind of team structure is ideal to ensure an impenetrable IT security cordon?","item_name":"What kind of team structure is ideal to ensure an impenetrable IT security cordon?"},{"id":"Conclusion","item_name":"Conclusion"}],"contents":[{"id":"PART 2","title":"PART 2","content":"Following an engaging first day where the experts shared their views on how to enhance one's project management skills, we were all set to welcome our news guest speakers on day two of the virtual summit."},{"id":"DAY 2","title":"DAY 2","content":"DAY 2<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n
