ABOUT THE EVENT
The event is inspired by the Hon’ble PM decision during Sector Review Meeting on Telecommunications held on 7th January 2026 as circulated by Niti Aayog on 29.1.2026:
Item No. 8: In the present geopolitical environment, there are several attempts at bugging or snooping on the national telecom infrastructure of the country. Department may come up with a mechanism that will be responsible for ensuring the safety of Indian Telecom Network.
In the transformative era of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing, telecom networks face unprecedented security challenges and opportunities. This flagship event by CSAI brings together policymakers, telecom operators, technology leaders, researchers, and cybersecurity experts to explore cutting-edge strategies for securing 5G/6G infrastructure.
This focused half-day summit will bring together telecom leaders, policymakers, cybersecurity experts, and technology innovators to address the critical security challenges facing India’s telecommunications infrastructure amid rapid advancements in AI and quantum computing. India’s telecom sector — the backbone of Digital India, 5G/6G rollout, UPI, Aadhaar, and emerging AI applications — faces dual pressures:
AI-driven threats (sophisticated attacks, automated exploits, deepfakes in social engineering).
Quantum threats (“Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attacks on current encryption, risks to RSA/ECC).
KEY THEMES
Quantum Threats to India’s Telecom Networks – The Harvest Now, Decrypt Later Reality
AI as Both Weapon and Shield: Securing 5G/6G Networks in Real Time
Quantum Computing Risks to 5G/6G Encryption
Post-Quantum Cryptography Implementation
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Hybrid Security Approaches
Secure AI in Zero-Trust Network Architectures
