Main Program Agenda
Chapter 1
The (Big) Shift: Reimagining Resilience for the Cloud-First Enterprise
- The cloud is here to stay, and it demands a fundamentally new approach to cyber resilience. Get ready for our biggest shift yet, as CEO Sanjay Mirchandani shares Commvault’s vision for the future of our customers, our category and the digital world. We’ll give you a hint: It’s not about bouncing back from the breach. It’s about continuously moving forward — faster, smarter and more resilient than ever before.
Chapter 2
The Launch: Innovating Our Platform To Create a New Paradigm
- Embracing the future of cyber resilience isn’t (just) about building the best SaaS platform. It’s about creating a new environment and ecosystem for the cloud-first enterprise: one that empowers every customer with the insight, partnership and innovation they need to stay ready for ransomware and drive continuous growth in the era of AI. In this session, our product visionaries will introduce the next generation of Commvault Cloud: a new paradigm for enterprise resilience.
Chapter 3
The Mandate: Anticipating the Next Era of Modern Compliance
- Compliance follows the threat — and in a cloud-first world, threats are evolving faster than ever before. Hear from our partners at Harvard Business Review about emerging mandates like DORA, NIS2 and SOCI, and how they’re setting a new benchmark for global compliance: demanding new levels of transparency, responsibility, and proven resilience across every facet of the modern supply chain.
Chapter 4
The Horizon: Making Cloud-First Resilience Your Competitive Advantage
- The shift is happening. The time to talk is done. Today is all about action. It’s about recognizing new truths and deploying all our strength, skills, and experience against them. It’s about taking what works and applying it in new ways. It’s about turning resilience into the ultimate strategic and business advantage. Get started with Martin Reeves of the Boston Consulting Group, as he shares why the future will be defined by two types of companies: Those who follow old models and pay the price — over and over again — and the successful, thriving, continuous businesses who will set the pace for what’s to come.
