September 9-11, 2025
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.

Key Capabilities for Rapid & Reliable Identity Restoration
Identity is today’s primary attack surface and, when identity systems fail, business stops. But too often fragmented tools, infrequent risk assessments, and manual investigations create gaps in detection, response, and recovery. Many options rely on complex and error-prone recovery processes or insufficient native tooling, missing critical configurations, attributes, and metadata during restoration as a result.

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.

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.

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.
