Kerala is set to make a significant mark on India’s cybersecurity landscape as some of the world’s biggest technology companies come together to support the Kerala Cyber Suraksha Summit (KCSS) 2026, to be held on September 5 in Kochi.Global technology leaders Oracle, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google and Microsoft, along with Cisco and Zscaler, will support KCSS 2026, joining several leading national and international technology organisations at what is emerging as one of South India’s most significant cybersecurity leadership gatherings.Organisers at a press meet said that the participation of these global technology majors marks a major milestone for Kerala’s rapidly expanding digital and cybersecurity ecosystem and reflects the growing national importance of cyber resilience, AI security and digital trust.Cyber Security FocusKCSS 2026 is expected to bring together more than 1,000 delegates, 40-plus distinguished speakers, 20-plus expert-led sessions and 15-plus leading technology partners, creating a high-impact platform for conversations around cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, digital trust, cyber resilience and the rapidly evolving threat landscape.Organised by F9 Infotech in collaboration with Kerala Startup Mission, the summit is supported by a distinguished ecosystem that includes the Data Security Council of India (DSCI), TiE Kerala and the Cochin Chamber of Commerce & Industry (CCCI), alongside leading strategic, industry, community, academic and technology partners.Tackling ThreatsThe summit comes at a critical time when the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital platforms is transforming economies while simultaneously creating a new generation of cyber risks.Against this backdrop, KCSS 2026 will focus on moving the cybersecurity conversation beyond defence and towards resilience — the ability of governments, businesses and digital ecosystems to anticipate, withstand and recover from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.Another major highlight will be the inaugural KCSS Cyber Excellence Awards 2026, created to recognise individuals and organisations making outstanding contributions to India’s cybersecurity ecosystem.Published on August 20, 2026
