Abstract

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, DPDPA, has fundamentally changed the breach response game for Indian enterprises. With a mandatory 72-hour breach notification window to the Data Protection Board, CISOs can no longer afford fragmented playbooks, slow forensics or siloed decision-making.

This panel discussion will bring together top cybersecurity leaders from across verticals to share hard-earned lessons on building breach response programs that meet DPDPA’s aggressive timeline without sacrificing investigative rigor, legal defensibility or stakeholder trust. This session will cover: Drafting breach notifications that satisfy regulators without creating unnecessary legal liability or customer panic; Coordinating Security, Legal, DPO, and Executive teams under 72-hour time pressure; Shortening detection time from days to hours through continuous monitoring and automated triage.
