Jasmeet Khurana
Cyber & Security Specialist Head – Client Risk & Compliance

With over 25 years of experience in technology operations, transformation, and governance, Mr. Jasmeet Khurana has evolved into a strategic leader at the forefront of cyber risk and compliance. Currently serving as Cyber and Security Specialist Head (Client Risk & Compliance) at BT Group, he leads with a pragmatic, outcome-driven approach — building resilient teams and helping organisations translate policy into practical, enduring security posture in an increasingly digital world.
From Reactive
to Resilient
How Jasmeet Khurana is navigating AI-era cyber risk at BT Group — and calling for a fundamental shift from reactive controls to proactive, governance-led resilience
Mr. Jasmeet Khurana believes that leadership is essential not as a management function, but as the force that creates accountability, encourages collaboration, and ensures every team moves toward the same goals. At BT Group, where he serves as Cyber and Security Specialist Head for Client Risk & Compliance, he has spent over two decades putting that conviction into practice — turning policies into the kind of practical, operational resilience that organisations can genuinely rely on.
His approach to leadership is pragmatic and outcome-driven. Having evolved from technical specialist to strategic leader across the cyber risk and compliance landscape, Mr. Jasmeet Khurana is motivated by the challenge of building teams that are not just technically proficient, but genuinely resilient — capable of adapting as the threat environment shifts and the expectations of clients, regulators, and stakeholders continue to grow.
What makes his perspective particularly sharp is his grasp of where the technology frontier is heading. As AI adoption scales across industries, Mr. Khurana identifies an emerging shift in security priorities: the focus will move from system performance to the reliability and accountability of outcomes — a change that demands new frameworks, new governance disciplines, and a fundamentally different posture from security leaders.
“AI is significantly reshaping the cyber risk landscape, particularly in areas such as data integrity, model manipulation, and trust in automated decision-making. As adoption scales, the focus will shift from system performance to the reliability and accountability of outcomes.
This evolution introduces risks including model poisoning, deepfakes, and AI-driven threat vectors, while increased interconnectivity amplifies supply chain and third-party vulnerabilities. For Indian enterprises, the priority must be strong governance, transparency, secure-by-design principles, and continuous monitoring. To effectively deal with new risks, it will be important to switch from reactive controls to proactive resilience.”
Recognised as one of the Leading Corporate Leaders in India 2026, Mr. Jasmeet Khurana shared his insights on AI-led transformation and emerging cyber risks in an exclusive conversation with Corporate TrendZ. His call to Indian enterprises is precise and urgent: in a world of model poisoning, deepfakes, and AI-driven threat vectors, the organisations that endure will be those that have embedded secure-by-design principles and continuous monitoring into their operating DNA — not those waiting to respond after the fact.
For Mr. Jasmeet Khurana, the defining challenge for security leaders in the years ahead is cultural as much as technical: shifting mindsets from reactive to proactive, from compliance-as-checkbox to governance as a genuine competitive advantage. It is a shift he is actively driving at BT Group — and one he believes the broader Indian enterprise landscape must urgently embrace.
