With nearly 40 professionals representing the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector in attendance, the session focused on how Cisco’s integrated platforms—Email Security, Secure Access, and Secure Networking—are setting new standards in cyber resilience.

The agenda featured live demonstrations, in-depth technical sessions, and valuable networking opportunities. Cisco’s cybersecurity experts led discussions on secure email communications, zero-trust access across networks and devices, and achieving end-to-end visibility and control across infrastructures.

The event was opened by MillenniumIT ESP Associate Vice President – Network and Cybersecurity Sridharan Govindaraj who welcomed guests and outlined the organisation’s services and the strategic importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital landscape.

Cisco Regional Leader – Cybersecurity Ashish Sud delivered the keynote address virtually, offering a strategic perspective on Cisco’s cybersecurity vision and the evolving threat landscape. This was followed by a detailed session on Email Security by Cisco Technical Solutions Architect Piush Kumar, and a presentation on Cisco Secure Access by MillenniumIT ESP Associate Consultant – Network Solutions Sandalika Weerasuriya.

MillenniumIT ESP CEO Shevan Goonetilleke remarked: “The BFSI sector operates in a highly regulated and fast-paced environment, where reliability and strong security practices are essential to maintain trust and continuity. This event was more than a showcase—it was a call to action. Together with Cisco and Inflow Technologies, we’re delivering enterprise-grade cybersecurity to ensure Sri Lankan financial institutions are resilient, agile, and ready for the future.”

Inflow Technologies Country Manager – Sri Lanka and Maldives Nilanthi Fernando added:
