Exploring Cyber
Resilience in Strategy and Practice
22-24 October, 2025 EMEA | Vienna
Thank you for your interest. A Rubrik CXO Experiences team member will get in touch with you.
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.
