Financial Security
Conclave 2026

The financial services sector is undergoing a significant transformation worldwide, driven by emerging technologies & unlocking niche, high-impact use cases. There is an accelerated shift toward more personalized, real-time, and embedded financial experiences. Within this evolution, cybersecurity has transitioned to a strategic enabler of trust and resilience. As digital ecosystems expand and attack surfaces grow, advanced cyber capabilities are critical to safeguarding innovation.

The future of financial services will be defined not just by technological sophistication, but by the ability to securely scale and protect interconnected, data-rich financial platforms.

Over the past seven years, the DSCI FINSEC Conclave has emerged as a key platform that enables congregation of the Security & Privacy leadership of a vast spectrum of organizations providing financial services, and this platform continues to evolve itself to better cater to the asks and expectations being set out extremely dynamically by the concerned ecosystem.

The eighth edition of FINSEC, slated for May 28 & 29 in Mumbai, will encompass informed exchanges around Privacy Operationalization, Next generation Financial Technologies, Quantum in Finance, Ransomware Readiness, Supply Chain & third-party vulnerabilities, Financial Fraud Defence, and several other sub-themes which warrant concerted deliberations amongst the stakeholders operating in this critical sector. With exploration of novel formats and agendas, FINSEC 2026 will convene banks, neo-banks, insurers, securities firms, banking financial entities, cooperatives, and fintech companies for immersive dialogues, knowledge-sharing sessions, and deliberations. Essentially, each stakeholder group shall find its agenda in action during the two days of the Conclave. Join us at FINSEC 2026 to engage with industry leaders, share insights, and shape the future of financial security and data protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

All Your Doubts Answered

How can I register for the FINSEC Conclave 2026?
Please follow these steps to register for FINSEC Conclave 2026:
Step 1: Click on the type of pass to register with.
Step 2: Choose the number of delegate(s).
Step 3: Fill in all details of the delegate(s).
Step 4: Submit the payment to confirm participation.
What are the payment options available for the registration?
After filling the details, once you reach at the last step for submitting the payment, you will have the following 2 options:
Online mode - In this mode, you can submit the payment via debit/credit/net banking/UPI. Using the online option, once you make the payment, you will get a confirmation mail on your email id for the event.
Offline mode - In this mode, you will have the option to submit the payment routed via bank transfer.
Once you choose this option and submit the details, you will be registered as not paid delegate. Once you do the bank transfer, you will need to share the UTR number with us. Once received, you will get a confirmation email of the registration.
*Note: Registration under offline mode will not be considered as confirmed until the payment is received by DSCI.
How can I get the invoice for the registration?
If you need an invoice for registration, make sure you add - (company name, address and GSTIN) on STEP 2 in the Buyer section. The billing details need to be furnished to get the invoice. In case you choose to skip providing the invoicing details, the same would be considered under unregistered and sharing of the tax invoice would not be possible post that.
What is included in my registration pass?
Your registration pass gives you access to all sessions and workshops for the event and meals during the event. *Note: The access of the pass is excluded from any exclusive or special session defined as Invite Only.
How can I get my pass on the event day?
To obtain your pass on the event day, you would need to visit the registration counter and mention your registration number and identity card to get your delegate badge at the venue.
Is accommodation part of my registration pass?
Unfortunately no, the accommodation and travel will have to be taken care by the delegates on their own. DSCI will not be responsible for the same. However, if you wish to stay at the event venue, you can book your accommodation at the special DSCI-negotiated rates crafted for the delegates only. You may have a look at it by going to the venue section of the event website.
Will there be any pick/drop facility available for the venue?
Unfortunately, no pick/drop facility is available for the event. It is advisable that delegates should plan their commute on their behalf only.
