This two-day event brings together leaders in the field of cyber security from around the world to discuss the current challenges and future trends in the sector in what will be an elite gathering of the most influential cyber leaders and top technology businesses.

The constant evolution of cyber security attacks has made organizations worldwide vulnerable to cyber threats such as malware, ransomware, and data breaches, ultimately leading to significant losses. World Cyber Security Summit, Jakarta is a platform to share the best practices in cyber security and cyber resilience. The two-day event will tackle various topics, including discussions on emerging cyber threats, use cases from recent attacks, and the role of cooperation and knowledge sharing in preventing cybercrime.

As senior citizens embrace the digital age, they are finding themselves at a greater risk than ever before. With unfamiliar technology and fast-evolving fraud tactics, it’s no surprise that more and more cybercrime victims are over 50—many losing not just money, but their sense of security and trust.  In response to this growing crisis, Truecaller, the leading global communications platform, has announced a transformative partnership with Khyaal, India’s number one app for senior citizens, committed to the empowerment and well-being of India’s elderly. This collaboration uniquely blends Khyaal’s deep understanding of seniors and expertise in creating meaningful engagement, along with Truecaller’s cutting-edge caller identification technology. Together, they create a robust and secure shield that fosters trusted, reliable communication, building a safer and more connected community for India’s elderly population.  All Khyaal members will receive an exclusive 50% discount on Truecaller Premium membership, ensuring they have access to the most advanced caller identification and spam protection features. Additionally, as part of this comprehensive safety initiative, Khyaal and Truecaller will co-create dedicated educational content. This includes “New Scam Highlights” sessions that decode emerging fraud tactics, interactive “Spot the Scam” workshops and contests, essential guidelines for handling calls from unknown numbers, and powerful testimonials from Khyaal seniors who have successfully identified and avoided scam attempts. These initiatives will be delivered through a mix of digital and on-ground formats. Seniors will have access to the workshops and sessions on the Khyaal app. The partnership will extend beyond digital boundaries through Khyaal’s “50Above50″ event, featuring interactive awareness sessions and dedicated safety booths that offer seniors practical, hands-on education and insights on digital safety.” While the free version of Truecaller is also functional, the Premium subscription includes enhanced spam blocking and several advanced safety features which can better protect senior citizens against fraudulent and unwanted communication. This technology-driven approach provides an additional layer of prevention, complementing Khyaal’s ongoing efforts to empower seniors through education and solutions to create a safer world for seniors. “The digital age holds tremendous promise for our seniors—offering connection, convenience, and community. But it also brings new threats they’re often unprepared for,” said Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Global CEO, Truecaller. “We’ve heard far too many heartbreaking stories of older individuals duped by scams. Our partnership with Khyaal is a meaningful step toward equipping them with the knowledge and tools to navigate this landscape safely.” Commenting on the partnership, Hemanshu Jain, Founder & CEO, Khyaal said, “The statistics are deeply concerning: seniors are losing their hard-earned savings to increasingly sophisticated scammers who exploit their trust and unfamiliarity with digital fraud tactics. The emotional toll of falling victim to such scams can be devastating, often leading to anxiety and a loss of confidence in using digital tools. At Khyaal, we’ve long recognised this silent crisis and have been committed to raising awareness through digital workshops. This partnership with Truecaller takes that commitment further. By learning to identify red flags, equipping themselves with the right tools like Truecaller, and staying informed about emerging scam tactics, seniors can maintain their independence while protecting themselves …

For years, global supply chains have operated on a fundamental faith: that if materials are moving, everything is working. That approach worked — until cybersecurity threats became not only routine, but sophisticated and devastating. Data leaks and ransomware are no longer affecting individual businesses due to the emergence of advanced persistent threats. They send ripples through supply networks and have an impact on national security, financial systems, and basic services. This is particularly true for industries linked to government contracts. Where sensitive defense information passes through hundreds of subcontractors, an individual organization’s approach to security becomes a part of the broader risk. This isn’t just about protecting one company’s data — it’s about protecting entire ecosystems. Acknowledging this, the Department of Defense of the United States introduced a framework-based cybersecurity certification model. Among these, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification — CMMC — is a key cornerstone in the effort to reform how government supply chains can operate securely. With ever-changing policy developments and recent announcements, CMMC updates are now shaking up the landscape for contractors, suppliers, and service providers. Why CMMC News Matters In The Current Scenario The cybersecurity environment for federal contractors is changing. The DoD’s implementation of CMMC, first announced in 2020, remains a work in progress. Changes, updates, and policy updates all mean companies need to be watching the CMMC news to stay compliant. CMMC implements a tiered approach for cybersecurity requirements for businesses doing business with the DoD that have access to FCI and CUI. Unlike self-attestation models, CMMC requires third-party assessments, especially for businesses participating in higher-risk jobs. Recent news updates have included: These shifts are not optional. And not meeting CMMC requirements now can result in disqualification from doing business with the DoD altogether. That should have supply chain companies in manufacturing, technology, logistics, and more reading about CMMC news. Supply Chains On Red Alert for Cybersecurity And big financial institutions, health care providers, and other operators of critical infrastructure are all taking notice. CMMC marks a move to formal, enforceable cybersecurity standards, in contrast to voluntary guidelines. Industry experts also note that CMMC’s configuration, including third-party accreditation and defined levels of maturity, as well as publicly trackable compliance, could serve as a model for future regulatory efforts in various industries. Staying Current on CMMC News: Why It Matters Given that CMMC is rapidly evolving, not being current isn’t an option. Policy changes, interim rules and enforcement updates revise timeframes and alter compliance expectations. Firms that are constantly kept abreast of the CMMC can enjoy several benefits, some of which are mentioned in the rundown: Final Thoughts As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, organized certification frameworks such as CMMC are becoming the rule rather than the exception. For contractors, suppliers and service providers, keeping up to date with CMMC news is about more than checking compliance boxes. This is a matter of future-proofing business activity and staying up to date to continue operating in markets that are becoming increasingly security-aware. As the bar for …
