The CXO Collective: Curated. Insightful. Impactful.

Cyber resilience is more than a checkbox or failsafe. It's a key business strategy. But too often IT, security, and data executives work in silos when business continuity and risk management should be a shared aim. Today's CXOs need a forum to workshop strategies and design cross-functional implementation plans to ensure their organizations remain ahead of business disruption—before the inevitable incident becomes a material event.

Rubrik CXO Collectives are exclusive two-day gatherings designed for CXOs, by CXOs. These forums offer the opportunity for candid conversations about real-world problems and strategies to solve them among CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs across industries—all within a strictly confidential setting free of media and exhibitors.

Challenges & Opportunities for Cloud-Based Cyber Recovery

Cloud-native applications are critical revenue and productivity drivers, but their distributed nature makes it harder to ensure their resilience. Attackers know this, and are increasing cloud attacks in response. Organizations struggle to understand what data is exposed, how long recovery would take, and how to demonstrate resilience to stakeholders like boards and regulators.

Join us to learn:
  • How Rubrik Cloud Application Resilience introduces a unified platform to protect data and configurations associated with top-tier applications
  • How automated orchestration helps reduce the impact of cyber incidents
  • Key resilience capabilities including continuous cloud discovery, orchestrated application recovery, and centralized monitoring and reporting

Key Capabilities for Rapid & Reliable Identity Restoration

When identity systems fail, business stops. Recovering Microsoft AD Forests can take days and involve manual, error-prone processes. Entra ID applications are rarely backed up, making rebuilds even more complex. Okta does not offer native tenant-level recovery, and organizations often miss critical configurations, attributes, and metadata during restoration.

Join us to learn:
  • How Rubrik Identity Recovery helps secure hybrid and multi-IdP environments, dramatically reducing mean time to recovery
  •  Benefits of automating complex restoration workflows, validating integrity before cutover, and providing point-in-time recovery across systems 
  • How organizations can quickly and confidently restore identity services—minimizing downtime, protecting revenue, and safeguarding customer trust

Agent Rewind: The Back Button for Agentic AI

Today's CISOs and CIOs must walk the fine line of accelerating AI adoption to harness the productivity gains without putting their organizations at risk. But open-source models are often insufficient for organization-specific needs and don't integrate well into existing workflows. Agentic AI presents even further opportunity for enhanced output, but requires potentially hazardous levels of access and autonomy.
 
Join us to learn:
  • How the acquisition of Predibase and release of Agent Rewind, powered by Rubrik metadata and data lake, can help organizations securely deploy GenAI 
  • Strategies for harnessing the maximum benefits of agentic applications without succumbing to the risks 
  • How AI security solutions can help teams build and deploy models with speed and confidence, accelerating ROI

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

Save the Data CXO Workshop

This simulation immerses executives in a realistic, high-pressure ransomware incident affecting a critical SaaS provider to global financial institutions. Participants navigate the cascading impacts of a sophisticated cyberattack by a well-organized threat actor involving both large-scale data exfiltration and operational disruption. The scenario reflects authentic pressures faced by financial services providers under current regulatory regimes (SEC, GDPR, NIS2, MAS TRM, APRA). Dialogue, timelines, and decision points are based on real-world incident responses from recent major cyber events, with pacing and ambiguity to mirror the pressures of real board-level crisis governance.

Establishing End-to-End Cyber Resilience for Microsoft 365

Today's attacks repeatedly begin with identity compromise and end with data exfiltration or ransomware. This playbook, repeatedly deployed by threat actors, calls out for a response. To become resilient, organizations must be confident their cyber posture allows for recovery across their entire targeted surface area—and quickly. 

Join us to learn:
  • How accurate data classification helps limit sensitive data exposure
  • How the Rubrik Security Cloud unifies cyber posture and recovery for Microsoft 365 environments 
  • Benefits of a unified control plane for streamlined backup, posture, threat, and recovery management

Hardening Identity Resilience with Attack Rewind

Identity is today’s primary attack surface and a compromised identity provider can cripple operations in minutes. Fragmented tools, infrequent risk assessments, and manual investigations create critical gaps in detection, response, and recovery.

Join us to learn:
  • How Rubrik Identity Resilience unifies visibility and delivers automated risk assessments across identity systems for both human and non-human identities 
  • Keys to remediating risks, rolling back malicious changes, and recovering identity systems from both operational failures and cyber incidents 
  • Benefits of integrations with existing XDR tools for enriched context, accelerated investigations, and faster resolution

Accelerating AI Adoption with Rubrik & Predibase

On average, more than half of AI projects never make it to production. Of those that do, they take an average of eight months from prototype to production. These projects frequently stall from risks in accessing valuable data, limitations in model accuracy, high infrastructure costs, and data governance difficulties. 

Join us to learn:
  • How to accelerate AI adoption by turning open source models into production-ready solutions 
  • How Rubrik and Predibase facilitate 2x performance gains with more accurate and efficient model creation 
  • Demonstrated capabilities for improving the success rate and ROI of internal AI initiatives

Achieving Enterprise Data Protection Across Hybrid IT Environments

Cloud data sprawl, acquisitions of major infrastructure providers, and a concerted effort by threat actors to target backups represent significant challenges for enterprise data protection programs today. Many IT and security leaders are responsible for managing and protecting hybrid and multi-cloud environments on top of on-premise data centers, stretching resources thin and introducing ample opportunity for security oversight.

Join us to learn:
  • How legacy recovery technologies threaten the availability and integrity of enterprise data 
  • Deficiencies in cloud-native recovery capabilities and how threat actors target them 
  • Critical capabilities of purpose-built solutions that help teams overcome enterprise data security challenges
