    11 Reasons to register for DRJ 2026 Fall

    Usually the best part of DRJ conferences are the communities that include Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity, Crisis Management, and Information Security leaders and implementers gathering together; not this Fall.

    Agentic threats require an Agentic solution

    Agentic threats require an Agentic solution … that summarizes what was announced from Rubrik Forward 2026. If you wanted to distill the entire day into a single sentence, it would be Bipul’s declaration: “To counter AI-led attacks, we must operate at AI speed.” I wasn’t able to squeeze all the announcements into this 3-minute summary…

    In 1962, JFK gave his famous moonshot speech to put an astronaut on the moon using a rocket “made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented”.
