SECURITY TODAY has announced the constitution of the STKS 2026 Steering Committee, bringing together some of the most respected minds in enterprise security, risk management, resilience, business continuity and strategic leadership. The committee will guide the content and direction of the SECURITY TODAY Knowledge Summit (STKS) 2026, scheduled to be held in Mumbai on 2 September 2026.
For nearly two decades, STKS has evolved into one of South Asia’s most respected invitation-only knowledge platforms for security leaders. Since its inception in 2006, the summit has consistently anticipated emerging risks, introduced disruptive technologies, and facilitated meaningful dialogue between industry leaders, policymakers, technology innovators and security practitioners. Every edition has been driven by a carefully curated agenda developed by an eminent Steering Committee, ensuring that discussions remain relevant, practical and forward-looking.
Continuing that tradition, Rajan Luthra, Chairman’s Office – Head, Special Projects, Reliance Industries Limited, will once again chair the STKS Steering Committee. Having successfully guided the committee over the past several years, Rajan’s leadership has helped establish STKS as a benchmark for thought leadership in the security profession.

The collective experience of the committee spans critical infrastructure, manufacturing, aviation, hospitality, retail, logistics, consulting, enterprise risk, cyber-physical security, resilience and business continuity. Their diverse perspectives will help ensure that STKS 2026 addresses both today’s pressing security challenges and tomorrow’s emerging opportunities.
STKS 2026 has also received strong industry endorsement from its returning partners. CP PLUS continues as the Title Partner for the second consecutive year, reaffirming its commitment to advancing thought leadership and professional excellence in the security industry. Joining once again as the Platinum Partner is Howell Protection Systems India Private Limited, whose continued association reflects a shared vision of fostering meaningful dialogue, innovation and collaboration across the security ecosystem.
Together, these valued partners are helping create a platform where industry leaders can engage in conversations that shape the future of enterprise security, resilience and risk management.
Speaking on the announcement, GB Singh, Editor of SECURITY TODAY and Convener of STKS, said:
“The security profession is undergoing one of the most profound transformations in its history. Artificial intelligence, geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain vulnerabilities, convergence of cyber and physical security, operational resilience, insider threats and digital trust are redefining how organisations perceive and manage risk. STKS has always stayed ahead of these conversations, and our Steering Committee plays a pivotal role in ensuring that every session delivers genuine strategic value. We are privileged to have such an accomplished group of leaders shaping STKS 2026.”
Over the years, STKS has earned a reputation for moving beyond product discussions to focus on leadership, governance, resilience and enterprise-wide risk management. Previous editions have featured globally renowned security practitioners, policymakers, defence leaders, technology innovators and industry experts while attracting senior security executives from India’s largest enterprises.
The newly constituted Steering Committee has already begun deliberations and is expected to unveil the STKS 2026 Conference Agenda shortly. Delegates can look forward to a future-focused programme examining the evolving security landscape through the lens of leadership, innovation, resilience, trust and emerging technologies.
With security increasingly becoming a boardroom priority, STKS 2026 aims to equip decision-makers with actionable insights that will help organisations anticipate risks, strengthen resilience and build secure, trusted enterprises for the future.
The agenda announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
