Dhananjay Khanna Elevated at SBI Card

SBI Card has elevated Dhananjay Khanna to Executive Vice President, marking an important milestone in his leadership journey with the organization. Khanna, who serves as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at SBI Card, announced the promotion through a professional update.

In his expanded role, Khanna is expected to take on broader responsibilities while continuing to strengthen the organization’s cybersecurity and information-security posture. His elevation comes as financial institutions face increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, digital fraud, identity threats and risks emerging from rapid adoption of AI.

For digital payments and credit-card companies, the CISO’s role is becoming increasingly strategic. Security leaders must now balance cyber resilience, regulatory compliance, data protection, fraud prevention and business innovation, while ensuring that expanding digital services remain secure and trusted by customers.

Khanna’s elevation reflects the growing importance of cybersecurity leadership within the financial-services sector. As SBI Card continues its digital journey, strong security governance will remain critical to protecting customer information, securing transactions and strengthening operational resilience. Cybersecurity is increasingly moving beyond a technology function to become a core component of business strategy, customer trust and sustainable digital growth.
