About the Event
Commvault Shift Virtual 2026 is a free, one-day virtual event examining how enterprise recovery practices must evolve to address threats that operate at machine speed. The event frames recovery not merely as a defensive capability but as a foundation for operational continuity when adopting new technologies. Sessions include keynote presentations, six deep-dive technical tracks, customer case studies, lightning lab demonstrations, and an AWS GameDay challenge. Live broadcasts will be followed by on-demand access, with interactive Q&A throughout.
Cyber Recovery in Hybrid and Cloud-Native Environments
A central theme is managing recovery across fragmented infrastructure. Sessions address the operational challenges of protecting data spread across on-premises systems, multiple cloud providers, and SaaS applications. Technical content covers cloud-native backup and recovery implementations on AWS and Google Cloud, with Clumio featured alongside Commvault Cloud for these use cases. The event examines how organizations can build recovery runbooks that account for the complexity of hybrid architectures rather than treating each environment in isolation.
Identity Resilience and Emerging Threats
Identity infrastructure recovery receives dedicated attention, reflecting the role compromised identity systems play in prolonging breach recovery times. The programme also addresses emerging risks, including frontier AI threats and post-quantum cryptographic concerns. These sessions aim to help security teams anticipate attack vectors that current defences may not adequately address and build recovery plans accordingly.
Recovery Operations as a Discipline
The event introduces Recovery Operations (ResOps) as a structured approach to maintaining continuous, proven recovery capabilities. This model emphasises regular testing and validation rather than assuming backup systems will function during an actual incident. Customer stories and expert panels explore how organizations have implemented these practices and demonstrated recovery readiness to boards and regulators.
Who Should Attend
The event targets CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, and other IT and security leaders responsible for resilience strategy. Infrastructure and cloud architects will find technical depth in the platform-specific tracks. Compliance and risk officers in regulated sectors (finance, healthcare, government) can explore how recovery capabilities support regulatory requirements. Engineers managing cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments are served by hands-on demonstrations and the AWS GameDay challenge. Security professionals can earn ISC2 CPE credits for participation.
