Wrap-up on Backup

  • Disaster Recovery Journal 2026 Fall Conference

    Disaster Recovery Journal 2026 Fall Conference

    Congratulations to DRJ on a very successful 75th conference! Here are my three takeaways from their Fall 2026 event, with nods to those who added to the conversations: If you were at the event, what was your favorite takeaway?

  • 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 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…

  • Rubrik AI and Identity Summit 2026

    Rubrik AI and Identity Summit 2026

    Rubrik just announced Code Guardian, as their next step beyond backup and into their ‘Security and AI Operations’ tagline. When my kids were learning to drive, I used to tell them the accident you avoid beats the accident you recover from. Turns out that’s just as true for unsecured code as it is for teenage…

  • Agentic threats require an Agentic solution

    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…

  • Looking ‘Forward’ to Rubrik’s event

    Looking ‘Forward’ to Rubrik’s event

    I am looking “forward” (pun intended) to Rubrik‘s event this week. Bipul recently declared “Cybersecurity is dead. Hello, Agentic Cyber Resilience,” which we’ll likely hear from main stage. No doubt this conference will focus on the intersection of cybersecurity, AI, and backup (we still need backups). I’ll be listening to how those main stage promises…

  • What is Dell PowerProtect’s Superpower?

    What is Dell PowerProtect’s Superpower?

    What’s Dell PowerProtect‘s Superpower? I went to Dell Technologies World expecting to hear about what’s new in Data Domain and to dig into PP DM and PP1 as a backup or Data Protection solution — that was the wrong lens. Usually, a vendor’s Cyber Resilience superpower is wrapped around its backup software. That’s not entirely…

  • Dell Technologies World 2026

    Dell Technologies World 2026

    The average org uses 2.8 backup products — which is one of many reasons why centralized purpose-built Protection Storage is critical to many Cyber Resilience strategies. Headed to Dell Tech World next week to hear the latest about Dell Technologies’ Power Protect portfolio and to engage the ecosystem built around Data Domain, including Commvault, Druva,…

  • What if your backup solution understood the rest of your IT?

    What if your backup solution understood the rest of your IT?

    What if your backup software understood your business organization and what data mattered to your employees before it ever did a backup? Most cyber resilience solutions don’t. Most are grounded in the foundational backups of your data, but they’re limited by the administrator who points them at the workloads and the policies that that instruct…
