AI is driving unprecedented data growth, system complexity, and new risks to data integrity and availability across cloud environments. This keynote explores how technology leaders are re-architecting cloud resilience for an AI-driven world—combining cloud-native design, automation, and cyber recovery to protect data integrity, deliver trusted AI outcomes, and maintain operational continuity across multi-cloud environments.

10:20 AM – 10:40 AM: [ANALYST SPOTLIGHT] The State of Cloud Resilience — Challenges, Gaps, and What’s Next Rajiv Ranjan, Analyst, IDC
IDC presents an independent view of the key challenges organizations face in achieving cyber and operational resilience across multi-cloud, SaaS, and cloud-native environments. Based on recent research, this session highlights common gaps, emerging risks, and priorities shaping modern cloud resilience strategies.

10:45 AM – 11:10 AM: [PARTNER SPOTLIGHT] From Outage to Operations: Integrating Data Security & Intelligent Recovery in a Zero-Perimeter World (Panel Discussion with Microsoft Speaker) Jill Macmurchy, Chief Customer Officer - APAC, Commvault & Ameen Uddin, Partner CTO for India and South Asia, Microsoft

In a zero-perimeter world, resilience is defined by how quickly and confidently you can recover. Join leaders from Commvault, Microsoft, and a customer as they discuss how their partnership is helping organizations strengthen cyber resilience across hybrid and cloud environments. The panel will explore the concept of the Minimum Viable Company—protecting identity and critical communications, securing data in air-gapped immutable storage, and enabling rapid, trusted recovery through Clean Room Recovery and Cloud Rewind to quickly rebuild cloud applications.

11:10 AM – 11:30 AM:  TEA / COFFEE BREAK | Booth Visits

11:40 AM – 12:00 PM: [RESILIENCE INSIGHTS] The Hidden Cost of Cloud Data — Optimizing Backup, Storage, and Recovery Spend Poojan Kumar, Chief Product Innovation Officer, Commvault
As cloud environments scale, secondary data such as backups, snapshots, and retained copies can quickly become a major — and often invisible — cost driver. Without clear visibility and intelligent automation, organizations struggle to balance resilience, compliance, and cost efficiency. This session explores how organizations are gaining control over cloud data costs through improved visibility, lifecycle management, and consumption-aligned protection models—reducing spend while maintaining recovery confidence and resilience at scale.

12:00 PM – 12:25 PM: [PARTNER SPOTLIGHT] Resilient Identity, Resilient Business: Preparing for the Next Breach (Co presented with CloudSEK) 

Rahul Sasi, Co-Founder and CEO, CloudSEK & Amit Mahajan, Senior Director – Engineering, Commvault

In cloud-native and AI-driven enterprises, identity is the new perimeter - with machine identities now outnumbering humans by nearly 20:1. Every workload, API, and automation pipeline depends on trusted identity. Active Directory / EntraID remains the backbone of enterprise access -and a prime target for modern attacks. In this session, CloudSEK and Commvault discuss why securing and rapidly recovering Identity is foundational to building true business resilience.

12:30 PM – 12:45 PM: [CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT]  From Backup to Cyber Resilience: Securing the Modern Enterprise Santhosh Srihari, VP, Cloud & Data Center Genpact
