Kerala is set to strengthen its position in India’s cybersecurity ecosystem with the Kerala Cyber Suraksha Summit 2026, bringing together some of the world’s leading technology companies in Kochi on September 5.
Global technology giants including Oracle, Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft, Cisco and Zscaler will support KCSS 2026. Their participation highlights the growing importance of Kerala’s digital and cybersecurity ecosystem and the increasing focus on cyber resilience, AI security and digital trust.
The summit is expected to attract more than 1,000 delegates, over 40 speakers, 20 expert-led sessions and more than 15 technology partners. Discussions will cover key areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, digital trust, cyber resilience and the changing nature of cyber threats.
KCSS 2026 is being organised by F9 Infotech in collaboration with Kerala Startup Mission. The event is also supported by organisations including the Data Security Council of India, TiE Kerala and the Cochin Chamber of Commerce & Industry, along with technology, industry, academic and community partners.
The summit comes as businesses and governments rapidly adopt AI, cloud computing and digital platforms, while facing increasingly complex cybersecurity challenges. The event will focus on strengthening resilience rather than limiting cybersecurity efforts to traditional defence measures.
The discussions will look at how governments, businesses and digital ecosystems can better prepare for cyber threats, respond to attacks and recover from disruptions.
A key feature of the summit will also be the first KCSS Cyber Excellence Awards 2026, which will honour individuals and organisations for their contributions to India’s cybersecurity sector.
With major global technology companies and cybersecurity experts participating, KCSS 2026 is expected to become an important platform for discussions on India’s digital security, AI security and cyber resilience.
