General Pant’s appointment comes at an opportune moment as TAC Security prepares for its forthcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO).
With an illustrious career that spans more than four decades, General Pant has showcased unmatched proficiency in the realm of cybersecurity.

Prior to his role as the National Cyber Security Coordinator, General Pant held the position of Director at the Army’s cyber training establishment.

“2023 has been a year of increasing geopolitical conflicts and tensions. This has had a direct bearing on cyberspace where we are witnessing an increasing involvement of private enterprises coming under cyber attacks from state and non state actors. There is therefore an imminent need for enterprises to protect and respond to cyber threats, a space where TAC Security has the requisite expertise. It shall be my privilege to guide this Company towards their desired goal,” said Lt. Gen Rajesh Pant.
