Built for Resilience: Powering the AI-Ready Enterprise

March 9-11, 2026

Americas CXO Collective

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.

From Protection to Performance: The New CXO Mandate

Cyber resilience is no longer an IT objective—it is an enterprise growth strategy. In this opening, we frame the day around what boards and CEOs now expect from CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs: measurable recovery confidence, transparent economic impact, and the ability to keep digital business running under pressure. The session sets a common language for finance, risk, and technology leaders and outlines how this forum is designed for organizations at every stage of maturity.

The AI Security Reality—Recovery, Integrity, and Control

AI has moved security from protecting systems to protecting decisions and data integrity. This keynote reframes cyber resilience as an executive growth mandate. It explores how leading organizations are moving beyond static backups to identity-aware, explainable recovery—capabilities that protect SaaS estates, AI pipelines, and customer trust at the same time. Drawing on recent advances in recovery intelligence and AI operations, we’ll examine how to contain blast radius, validate clean data, and establish Time-to-Trust as a board metric—from first deployment to advanced automation. so innovation can accelerate without gambling the enterprise.

Charting the Roadmap for the Rubrik Security Cloud

Modern enterprises need one operational fabric across hybrid data, SaaS, and AI workloads. This session provides a forward-looking view of platform direction: unified recovery workflows, identity-aware resilience, and automation at scale. Rather than features, we focus on architectural decisions CXOs must make today—data placement, sovereignty, performance, and integration—so that tomorrow’s innovation doesn’t become next year’s technical debt.

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

Turning AI, Security, & Cyber Resilience into Business Impact

How do you translate RTO/RPO into revenue protection and risk reduction? This interactive breakout introduces a financial model linking downtime to customer impact, regulatory exposure, and brand value. Attendees will learn how to present resilience investments in the language of EBITDA, not infrastructure.

Join us to learn:
- Reframe AI, security and cyber resilience as value drivers, rather than cost centers for compliance and protection
- Lear to quantify and communicate the financial and operational impact of resilience investments
- Explore a structured approach to connect initiatives to organizational priorities, risk appetite, and regulatory expectations

From Proof of Value to Deployment: Licensing, Commercial Models, and Sizing

This session covers how to structure licensing and commercial models, navigate finance nuances (delayed invoicing, price guarantees, consumption options), and design a proof-of-value that resonates with leadership. We’ll compare hardware strategies, model loaded data-center costs, outline professional services paths, and review starter use cases such as M365 and ransomware recovery—so teams can move confidently from evaluation to production.

Operational Excellence: Scaling and Extracting Full Value from Your Platform

Once the foundation is in place, the question becomes: how do we operate at scale? Rubrik product experts will walk through API-driven automation, onboarding workflows, telemetry, patching discipline, and non-disruptive testing for audit. We’ll address advanced scenarios—large databases, big data platforms, hybrid estates—and strategies for using Rubrik as a cost-effective archive while optimizing restore performance across physical and virtual workloads.

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

Establishing End-to-End Cyber Resilience for Microsoft 365

M365 is the central nervous center for collaboration at many organizations, making it truly a Tier 0/1 app. As AI agents proliferate, the blast radius of a single identity compromise expands exponentially, with the possibility to lead to data exfiltration or ransomware.This session examines practical workflows for protecting identities, mailboxes, and collaboration data; rapid restoration during account takeover; and containment across Entra ID and M365.To become resilient, organizations must be confident in their ability to recover across their entire IT estate—and quickly.

Join us to learn:
- How the Rubrik Security Cloud unifies posture management and recovery for M365 environments
- How to move beyond bulk restores to rapid, targeted recovery to minimize business downtime
- How accurate data classification helps limit sensitive data exposure

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
