Cyber Resilience In an Age of Amplified Risk
Hosted by Rubrik
Confronting legacy technology, persistent resource constraints, and a quickly changing threat landscape, CIOs face the critical challenge of ensuring rapid recovery, business continuity, and regulatory compliance. Emerging AI and agentic systems are reshaping this challenge: they accelerate response and enable autonomy, but also introduce new risks when agents drift off course.
Join this session to discuss:
- Achieving rapid recovery and business continuity across complex hybrid environments
- Effectively communicating risk levels and enterprise resilience ROI, including the impact of AI adoption
- Integrating infrastructure failover and agentic AI strategies with overall security posture
