Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 28: As digital transactions accelerate, so do cyber threats, making payment security a critical global issue. To address these challenges, QNA launches Payment Security Summit & Awards – India, in Mumbai on 4th March 2025 in partnership with the PCI Security Standards Council, and supported by DSCI, Cyber Security Association of India and ISACA Mumbai Chapter. This milestone event will bring together top industry leaders, regulators, financial institutions, retail and telcos to drive the future of secure digital commerce. With India experiencing unprecedented growth in digital payments, the country is not just an economic powerhouse but also a prime target for payment security threats.
Brijesh Singh, Additional Director General of Police, Government of Maharashtra, emphasized, safeguarding trust in financial transactions is paramount:
“As India accelerates its digital transformation, securing payment systems is paramount to safeguarding trust and financial integrity. Strengthening cybersecurity frameworks and encouraging innovation will be key to a resilient and secure digital economy.â€
Ensuring payment security isn’t just about protecting businesses, it’s about securing an entire economy. Lt. Gen Dr. Rajesh Pant, Chairman of the Cyber Security Association of India, underscored how cyber resilience is key to India’s economic ambitions:
 “In order to become the third-largest economy, India cannot afford headwinds due to financial cyber-crimes. For Viksit Bharat, we have to be Cyber Surakshit Bharat.â€
