Seceon powers cyber resilience with unified security at GISEC 2025
Chandra Shekhar Pandey, Founder and CEO of Seceon Inc., shares insights on platform traction, demo success, and Middle East expansion with GISEC Global 2025 reflected a strong wave of momentum for cybersecurity innovators like Seceon Inc. With an integrated approach to threat detection and response, the company is drawing attention for its unified platform that simplifies and strengthens cyber resilience. Chandra Shekhar Pandey, Founder and CEO of Seceon, spoke about the platform's real-time capabilities, the surge in booth engagement, and his vision for growth in the UAE and broader Middle East. Interview Excerpts: How would you describe GISEC this year compared to previous editions? The mood is incredibly vibrant. Compared to last year, we're seeing a lot more footfall and excitement. Yesterday alone, we had around 400 booth visits, and today it's already exceeded that. Our team is actively engaging with partners and industry leaders. What's encouraging is the recognition we're receiving—even though Satyam isn't a globally known brand yet, many attendees are aware of our platform and have come with positive feedback. That kind of recall doesn't happen by accident—it shows the groundwork is paying off. What did you showcase at GISEC this year? We are presenting our unified security platform, which integrates SIEM, SOAR, XDR, and security posture management into a single solution. The goal is to eliminate the need for 15 to 20 different security tools by offering real-time insights, threat detection, and automated response capabilities on one platform. It helps organisations stay audit-ready at all times and immediately flag anomalies for proactive action. So far, we've conducted over 50 live demos today alone, across four demo stations. That level of engagement has been very exciting. What is most critical to building cyber resilience while maintaining operational efficiency? The key is comprehensive visibility. Organisations must be able to detect and respond to threats early—before they spread. If your security tools are siloed, your analysts are left trying to make sense of billions of data points, and that slows down response times. Our platform provides context and situational awareness, which enables faster, more accurate action. Without this, even the best products or teams can struggle, and both resilience and security are compromised. Do you have any expansion plans in the UAE or wider Middle East region? We operate 100% through our partners. We've already placed team members on the ground to ensure partners are empowered and customers receive full value. Our mission is to demonstrate real efficacy and ROI so customers can not only experience the benefits but also advocate for the solution based on their success.

Lucknow Development Authority bans pots on balcony ledges citing potential hazard
Lucknow, The Lucknow Development Authority on Monday directed flat owners and resident associations of high-rise buildings to remove flower pots and similar items from balcony ledges in a week, citing a child's death in Pune after a pot fell on him. The order issued by Additional Secretary and Competent Officer C P Tripathi said flower pots placed on parapet walls or railings could slip and cause serious injury or death to people below. It instructed flat owners to ensure no pots or heavy objects are placed on balcony parapets. Apartment Owners' Associations are to conduct immediate inspections and enforce removal, stated the order. The Lucknow Development Authority also said, "If an accident occurs, both AOA and the individual flat owner will be held responsible. In buildings where no AOA exists, builders or promoters will be held accountable." According to the LDA order, the residential society's office bearers must publicise the directive through notices, WhatsApp groups and meetings and certify to the authority within seven days that all balconies have been cleared of such objects. It warned that failure to comply with the could lead to legal action under safety provisions of the Apartment Act. The LDA's move has been hailed by AOAs and citizens. Chandra Shekhar Pandey, the president of the AOA at Rishita Manhattan in Gomti Nagar Extension, said, "This is a laudable decision keeping in mind the safety of residents. There have been reports of mishaps at some places, so this move is good." Rajeev Vig, a former office bearer at the high rise society, said the AOA had been pressing for such safety measures in the past. "Imagine the damage a flower pot falling from a 20th-floor balcony can do to someone on the ground. This is a much-required decision," he told PTI. Earlier in May, the local development authorities in Noida and Ghaziabad also issued similar orders, both triggered by the Pune mishap of April. In December 2023, a delivery executive was hospitalised with injuries in Greater Noida after a flowerpot fell on him while he was in a high-rise residential society on duty.
