Introduction
Rubrik is hosting a virtual event dedicated to data security and cyber resilience, bringing together IT and security professionals to examine the operational realities of defending against ransomware and ensuring business continuity. The programme targets senior technology leaders responsible for protecting mission-critical data across enterprise environments, offering practical guidance on building resilient data protection strategies at a time when ransomware attacks continue to escalate in both frequency and sophistication.
The timing reflects broader industry concerns. Ransomware incidents have evolved from opportunistic attacks into highly organised operations that can paralyse entire organisations within hours. For security teams, the challenge extends beyond prevention to encompass detection, response and recovery, each phase requiring distinct capabilities and careful coordination. This event addresses that full spectrum, positioning cyber resilience not as a theoretical goal but as an operational discipline.
About This Event
The virtual format makes the event accessible to a geographically dispersed audience while maintaining opportunities for engagement through interactive sessions and question-and-answer segments. Attendees can expect a combination of presentations and real-world case studies that illustrate how organisations have implemented cyber resilience strategies in practice.
Rubrik, the organising company, specialises in data security and management platforms designed to protect enterprise data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The event serves as a platform for sharing best practices and recent innovations in the field, drawing on Rubrik’s experience working with organisations that manage sensitive and regulated data.
Ransomware Defence and Data Protection Strategies
Central to the event’s agenda is the challenge of ransomware defence. Modern ransomware attacks frequently target backup systems alongside primary data stores, recognising that organisations with compromised backups face far greater pressure to pay ransoms. Effective protection therefore requires architectures that isolate backup data from production environments and prevent attackers from encrypting or deleting recovery points.
The event examines how organisations can implement immutable backups, air-gapped storage and anomaly detection to identify suspicious activity before encryption begins. These technical controls form part of a broader data protection strategy that must account for the volume, velocity and variety of data flowing through modern enterprises. Cloud workloads, containerised applications and distributed databases each present distinct protection challenges that traditional backup approaches may not adequately address.
Beyond prevention, the programme explores rapid recovery capabilities. The ability to restore critical systems within hours rather than days can determine whether an organisation weathers a ransomware incident or suffers prolonged operational disruption. Recovery time objectives have become a board-level concern, and security teams increasingly need to demonstrate that their data protection investments translate into measurable resilience.
Incident Response and Business Continuity
Cyber resilience extends beyond technology into process and governance. The event addresses incident response frameworks that enable organisations to coordinate effectively when attacks occur. This includes establishing clear roles and responsibilities, maintaining communication channels that remain operational during incidents, and conducting regular exercises to test response capabilities.
Business continuity planning intersects with cyber resilience in important ways. Traditional continuity planning often focused on physical disasters, but ransomware attacks present different challenges. Systems may remain physically intact while being rendered unusable, and recovery may require forensic analysis to ensure that restored systems are free from persistent threats. The event explores how organisations are adapting their continuity frameworks to address these cyber-specific scenarios.
Regulatory Compliance and Cloud Security Considerations
Compliance requirements add another dimension to data protection strategies. Regulations governing data privacy, financial services and critical infrastructure increasingly mandate specific controls around data protection and incident reporting. Organisations must demonstrate not only that they have implemented appropriate safeguards but also that they can recover data within prescribed timeframes and notify regulators when breaches occur.
Cloud security features prominently in the discussion. As organisations migrate workloads to public cloud platforms, they must navigate shared responsibility models that divide security obligations between cloud providers and customers. Data protection in cloud environments requires understanding how native cloud services interact with third-party backup solutions and ensuring that recovery processes work consistently across hybrid architectures.
Who Should Attend
The event is designed for senior IT and security professionals with responsibility for data protection and cyber resilience. Chief Information Security Officers and Chief Information Officers will find strategic perspectives on building organisational resilience, while IT Directors and Security Architects can explore technical implementation details. Data Protection Officers may benefit from discussions of compliance requirements and regulatory expectations.
The content applies across industries, though organisations managing particularly sensitive or mission-critical data, such as those in financial services, healthcare and critical infrastructure, may find the material especially relevant. Decision-makers evaluating data protection investments or reassessing their cyber resilience posture following industry incidents will gain practical frameworks for guiding those efforts.
Operationalising Cyber Resilience
A recurring theme throughout the event is the shift from treating cyber resilience as a project to embedding it as an ongoing operational capability. This requires integrating security and data protection teams, establishing metrics that track resilience over time, and creating feedback loops that incorporate lessons from incidents and near-misses.
The case studies presented during the event illustrate how organisations have navigated this transition. Real-world examples provide context that abstract frameworks cannot, showing how theoretical best practices translate into practical decisions about technology selection, process design and resource allocation. For attendees seeking to benchmark their own programmes against industry peers, these examples offer valuable reference points.
