The Fourth Edition of the Enterprise Security Connect 2023 (ESCON) is set to be a highly anticipated event in South Asia, specifically designed to address the growing concerns around ransomware attacks, data breaches, cloud security gaps, unauthorized user access, and the rising importance of zero trust. The conference will be held in Kolkata, India, and aims to bring together security leaders from various organizations across the region.
ESCON offers a unique platform for security professionals to gain actionable insights and guidance from industry experts. The conference focuses on providing objective information and fostering idea exchange among attendees. The event will feature presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities to facilitate knowledge dissemination and peer networking.
One of the highlights of ESCON is its innovative approach to engage delegates and speakers. The conference includes sessions like Idea Café, where participants can actively contribute their thoughts and perspectives on various security challenges. The CISO Extempore is another intriguing session that allows security leaders to share impromptu insights and experiences.
Attending ESCON promises to be an unforgettable un-conferencing experience, offering valuable opportunities to enhance your organization's security performance and address mission-critical priorities. By participating in this event, you can gain valuable knowledge, exchange ideas, and establish connections with industry experts and peers in the security domain.

Park Street
Park Street, is a famous thoroughfare in downtown Kolkata, India. In Bengali, it is often referred as Shaheb -er Para or the “neighbourhood of Englishmen”. Park Street remains Kolkata's foremost dining district, with many restaurants and pubs. It is often known as "Food Street" and "The Street that Never Sleeps".
Victoria Memorial Hall
The memorial houses the royal gallery, the national leader's gallery, the portrait gallery, central hall, the sculpture gallery, the arms and armory gallery, and the newer, Kolkata gallery. The Victoria Memorial has the largest single collection of the works of Thomas Daniell (1749–1840) and his nephew, William Daniell (1769–1837). It also has a collection of rare and antiquarian books such as the illustrated works of William Shakespeare, the Arabian Nights and the Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam as well as books about kathak dance and thumri music by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. However, the galleries and their exhibitions, the programmatic elements of the memorial do not compete with the purely architectural spaces or voids.
Misti Hub Kolkata
Misti Hub is home to about eleven prominent sweet shops in the city of Kolkata. Each of them has their own, unique special sweet that you must give a try.
