Opposing the celebrations organised by the Congress government in the state, she called Tipu Sultan “anti-Hindu and anti-Kannada”. The government was practising vote-bank politics, Shobha added.

| Indian techies driving next-gen cyber security architecture: McAfee CEO Posted: 21 Oct 2017 01:11 AM PDT LAS VEGAS: As enterprises the world over scout for next-generation cyber security architecture to mitigate attacks, the Indian systems integrator (SI) community is helping major companies embrace state-of-the-art security structures, Chris Young, Chief Executive Officer of McAfee, has said. “A lot of companies in India are trusted providers of cyber security solutions to firms around the world. Indian companies have the same challenge and opportunity as other companies. I think they have the right ability to drive the architectural model that other firms are using,” Young told IANS on the sidelines on “MPOWER Cybersecurity Summit” here. “Given the strength in the Indian SI community, they are actually playing a big part in helping other companies realise the next-generation architectural vision,” he added. With its largest research and development facility in Bengaluru — employing over a 1,000 engineers — the US-based McAfee’s revenues are growing in double digits in India. Over the next couple of years, the country is expected to become one of McAfee’s top markets. India is one of the fastest-growing markets for McAfee in the APAC region. McAfee has partnered with approximately 49 per cent of ET 500 firms and aims to cover 60 per cent — with an overall target to increase the customer base by 20 per cent. When asked to comment on the investment by the Indian organisations in the cyber security space, Young told IANS: “Several top firms in India have industry-leading cyber security operations and are working with the best available tools to ward off data breaches. They have some of the best people. I don’t see underinvestment happening in the cyber security space in the country.” The time is ripe for companies globally to “move investment from where we have been to where we are going”. On ransomware, Young said that it has been in existence for 30 years, with first attack reported in late 1980s. But the year 2013 saw a surge in ransomware attacks. “This probably took off owing to the change in the hackers’ ability to monetise the attacks. Customers are witnessing data breaches which use exploits that go beyond malware itself. Hackers are using trusted tools to execute their sinister plans,” Young noted. Young said there is a need to adapt to the situation to avert adversaries by detecting the problems, correcting them and eventually protecting them against cyberattacks. “We need to increase the capabilities of the first responders by 20 per cent by keeping them up-to-date,” he told reporters. Globally, McAfee cybersecurity solutions protect more than a quarter-of-a-billion endpoints across every category of device, serve nearly two-third of the world’s 2,000 largest companies and defend more than 200 million consumers each day. To empower companies protect their systems, Young announced the launch of new endpoint and Cloud solutions during the event. The solutions go beyond machine learning to take advantage of the speed and accuracy of advanced analytics, deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI), thus increasing efficiency of security operations. The company also announced collaboration with networking and security major Cisco to provide customers comprehensive visibility and real-time security orchestration. |

| I’m being sacked: A blow-by-blow account of how Mistry was fired Posted: 21 Oct 2017 12:46 AM PDT Nirmalya Kumar, who was part of the core group executive council (GEC) formed by Cyrus Mistry till he was fired, claims in a new blog that the former Tata Sons CEO fell to a vilified PR campaign despite the goodwill he enjoyed in the group. In his blog, which chronicles corporate India’s biggest boardroom drama that led to Mistry’s exit on October 24, 2016, Kumar claims that no Tata group CEO, barring two – Harish Bhat and Bhaskar Bhat – had anything negative to say about Mistry a year after the episode. Kumar, who was the head of strategy of the Tata group during Mistry’s tenure and was removed the same day as Mistry, claims till date Mistry has not been given a valid reason for his exit. Excerpts from his blog: On 24 October 2016, Cyrus was in his Bombay House 4th floor office examining what seemed like a routine agenda for the Tata Sons board meeting that was scheduled to start in five minutes at 14:00 hours. Through the grapevine, Cyrus had heard that some of the board members had an unscheduled informal meeting earlier that morning. However, what they had discussed was unknown, and as such, he did not give it much further thought. The previous week had been business as usual with trips to China and Singapore to meet partners and investors. A knock on the door, and to his surprise, enter his predecessor, Ratan Tata and Tata Sons board member Nitin Nohria. Cyrus welcomes them and asks them to take the two chairs opposite him. Nitin Nohria begins by proclaiming that "Cyrus as you know the relationship between you and Ratan Tata has not been working." Therefore, Nohria continues, Tata Trusts have decided to move a board resolution removing Cyrus as Chairman of Tata Sons. He is offered the option of resigning or facing the resolution for his removal at the upcoming board meeting. Ratan Tata chimes in at this stage to say he is sorry that things have reached this stage. Cyrus Mistry calmly responds with gentlemen you are free to take it up at the board meeting and I will do what I have to do. Nitin Nohria and Ratan Tata exit the room and walk over to the other end of the hallowed 4th floor of Bombay House, where the board room is located. Cyrus, sends a text "I am being sacked" to his wife Rohiqa, before putting on his jacket and heading to the Board Room. The board meeting Cyrus takes his place on the chairman's seat, a chair that is slightly elevated and larger compared to the other chairs in the room. Mistry welcomes Ratan Tata (who had never attended a board meeting since Cyrus had become Chairman) to the meeting and informs the board that Ratan Tata and Nitin Nohria have something to share prior to considering the previously circulated agenda. Nohria, a Tata Trust nominee and Dean of Harvard Business School, advises the board that the Tata Trusts have asked its nominees to propose a motion to the Board of Tata Sons. Amit Chandra, another Tata Trust nominee, apprises the board that at a meeting of the Trust Directors held earlier in the day it was agreed to move a motion to request Mistry to step down as Executive Chairman of Tata Sons because the Trusts had lost confidence in him for a variety of reasons. No rationale for the decision beyond this declaration was shared. In response, Cyrus argued that the articles of association required a 15-day notice before taking up such an item for the consideration of the Board, and as such, the present action was illegal. Amit Chandra informed the board that the legal opinion obtained by the Trusts stated such a notice was not necessary. He offered to share the opinion, but none has been to date. The aftermath The conference room is where Cyrus first got a chance to sit down, visibly shaken, and asked for a cup of tea. They knew they needed a public relations agency and a lawyer immediately. What they did not know was that Tata had already engaged six major public relations companies and booked many of the most prominent lawyers in the country in a bid to squeeze the resources available to Cyrus post firing…. CEOs being fired is always news, despite it not being a terribly uncommon occurrence. What made the firing of Cyrus Mistry so unusual was that Tata Group had a history of only six Chairman over 148 years! Cyrus Mistry was selected after a careful process that took over a year, and by assuming the role at the age of 46, he was expected to serve between 20-30 years. In general, the Tata group is renowned for its values, which did not encompass a "hire and fire" policy. Most senior Tata executives were consummate insiders, having usually served their entire career with the Group. The initial contract under which Cyrus was serving as the Chairman had been passed via a shareholder resolution of Tata Sons. It was due to expire on 31 March 2017. Instead of the sudden, no warning dismissal, the board could have just let the clock run out in five months. By eschewing the public humiliation of Cyrus Mistry, the bloody aftermath that followed could have been avoided. Unfortunately, instead there was the subsequent public airing of the underbelly of the Tata group as well as the deleterious impact on the reputations of Ratan Tata, Cyrus Mistry and the Tata brand. The only winners as far as one could see were the public relations companies and lawyers, who are still having a field day…. Postscript A year later, despite the best efforts of the press promoted by the six PR agencies and pressure from the internal Tata communications team, only two Tata CEOs, Bhaskar Bhat and Harish Bhat, have had anything negative to say about Cyrus Mistry in the press. And, even they, were remarkably muted in their criticism. Under the circumstances, what better performance review could Cyrus Mistry have received as Chairman of Tata Sons?

| Will mention Hegde’s name in Tipu Jayanti invite: CM Posted: 21 Oct 2017 12:32 AM PDT Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Saturday that his government would mention the name of Union Minister of State for Skill Development Ananth Kumar Hegde in the official invitation for the Tipu Sultan Jayanti fete on November 10. It was up to the union minister to attend the celebration or not, the chief minister said. “It is not proper for a union minister to make such a statement. We (the state government) will mention his name (in the invitation) as per the protocol. It is up to him (union minister) to attend or not,” Siddaramaiah told reporters. Hegde, through his personal secretary, had communicated to the chief minister’s secretariat that he considered Tipu Sultan as “anti-Hindu and anti-Kannada” and hence, he did not want to be associated with the celebration. The state government is celebrating Tipu Sultan Jayanti at the district level across the state on November 10. As Member of Parliament from Uttara Kannada Lok Sabha constituency, protocol mandates that Hegde’s name be included in the invite for all government programmes organised in the district. Source: DH |
