Best Practices Meet 2021 | DSCI Watch Sessions
ABOUT

13th Best Practices Meet 2021

As the world continues its fight against the pandemic, the thirteenth edition of the DSCI Best Practices Meet shall be held in virtual mode again this year. This decade is anticipated to be a watershed for digital technologies wherein a multitude of innovations shall kick in and this would be accompanied by a highly agile approach towards development, adoption, consolidation and platformization. Cyber Security which has been called out as one of the key fundamental pillars of technology would be playing an exceedingly important role in enabling this critical endeavour for mankind.

With this context in mind, we have kept the theme for BPM 2021 to be 'Security Decade... enabling Digital innovations of this Decade'. BPM’s journey of covering the critical technology themes over the span of 12 years has been a truly enriching experience that has been greatly shaped by the expertise of technologists, futurists, practitioners, thought leaders, and provokers from across the board. The underlying philosophy of BPM has been to meticulously deliberate the architectural and engineering aspects of the Cyber Security realm and link it to the topical and futuristic technological and digital developments.
