  • Noise to Signal in the AI era

    Noise to Signal in the AI era

    ‘Noise to signal’ isn’t just a tooling problem; it’s a charter problem. Cyber resilience is broader than ransomware; therefore, the signals we care about are broader than security events, and the team that owns the SIEM might not be the team that owns the resilience and governance outcomes. Especially when you add identity, along with…

  • Cloud-Powered Resilience is exciting, and not just for the tech stacks

    Cloud-Powered Resilience is exciting, and not just for the tech stacks

    At a recent AMA, was asked what excites me most about Managed Services (MSPs) delivering Data Protection. I said there are three categories, each with disruptive innovation: There isn’t a single best scenario or vendor; what matters is zeroing in on what the customer needs, not only in resilience but in overall IT agility. This…

  • ‘First Look’ at DPM’s AI-Enhanced Resilience

    ‘First Look’ at DPM’s AI-Enhanced Resilience

    It’s finally here! DPM’s AI-Enhanced Resilience research gets its first public look this week at Disaster Recovery Journal, before it’s seen anywhere else. To do some mythbusting, we asked IT leaders whether the AI in their backup, DR, and cyber tools is “mostly marketing” or “actually transformative” (or somewhere in between), and their answers could…

  • Druva’s Identity Resilience: Governance Needs Accountability, Not Just Rules

    Druva’s Identity Resilience: Governance Needs Accountability, Not Just Rules

    One year ago, Druva introduced Dru MetaGraph; and now we’re starting to see how it all comes together where governance and AI land within their Resilience Cloud. Here’s what happened in between and why it matters for Cyber Resilience.

  • Cohesity Cyber Resilience Report 2026

    Cohesity Cyber Resilience Report 2026

    IT folks will already want to download Cohesity‘s new 2026 Report on Cyber Resilience, but here’s why Business Continuity and Risk Management folks ought to also. The report measured what those of us in resilience have known for a while: (1) the importance of building your plan around your MVC and (2) quantifying the gap…

  • Cohesity Catalyst 2026

    Cohesity Catalyst 2026

    “An ounce of resilience is as important as a pound of detection.” is my favorite line from the Cohesity Catalyst 2026 event, thanks to Sanjay Poonen and Ben Franklin. Beyond that and more GOAT videos that I inevitably play on repeat (kudos Carol Carpenter and team), here’s what stood out to me on the Cyber…

  • The avg org runs 2.8 Backup Products

    The avg org runs 2.8 Backup Products

    How many backup products does your org actually run? Only 7% of orgs run a single backup and recovery stack; the avg org runs 2.8 data protection solutions. It’s not because IT teams enjoy tool sprawl; it’s because most need to supplement their primary solution to cover the breadth of their IT, especially due to…

  • 10 Hard Questions to ask IT — 2026 edition

    10 Hard Questions to ask IT — 2026 edition

    Business Resilience stakeholders and their IT teams are often disconnected because they’re not grasping how their IT strategies are creating or affecting their risk posture, often because they don’t share taxonomy or metrics. Here’s 10 hard questions from a workshop I ran at MIT and am paring down for customer events, roadshows, CABs, PACs, SKOs,…

  • Commvault’s latest Azure announcement

    Commvault’s latest Azure announcement

    Commvault just became the first cyber resilience vendor embedded natively in the Microsoft Azure fabric. If that doesn’t sound like a big deal, give me two minutes — because twenty years ago, something very similar changed the entire data protection industry.

    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…
