Beyond Awareness: Awareness Won't Save You, Recovery Will
October 15 | Register Now AI has compressed breakout times to minutes, exposing the gap between knowing you're at risk and recovering from it. Rick Orloff, CISO, and Chris Brandt, Consulting Field Solutions Architect, show why resilience, not awareness, decides survival, and how to build the active-defender architecture that closes the gap. We’ll cover: Worse than expected — how the AI threat has grown dramatically in 2026. Backup vs. cyber recovery, and why you need a tested "minimum viable business" plan. How storage becomes an active defender: built-in security, connected detection, dynamic recovery. A real Fortune 100 recovery story showing resilience in action when prevention fails.

IDC surveyed 387 financial services organizations. Nearly 70% of those increasing cyber recovery spending cited limitations in their current solution as a top-two driver. But this stat caught my eye too: 27.7% said their recovery solution was too difficult to use. That matters. In the middle of an incident, the person doing the restore may not be the person who designed the recovery process. So I’m curious: does ease of use factor into how your team evaluates cyber recovery?Guarantee Data Availability: How to Create a Snapshot Bunker
June 23 | Register Now! Without data integrity and availability, recovery is difficult and may take days or even weeks. Everpure prioritizes remediation and recovery as the critical path to cyber resilience. Data availability is the foundation for reliable remediation and rapid recovery, enabling organizations to restore data regardless of the severity of a disaster or cyberattack. Why a snapshot bunker is the cornerstone of effective layered resilience Key considerations for architecting the bunker to ensure survivability How to set up and operate a snapshot bunker Register Now!Know Thy Enemy: Threats to Cyber Resilience
April 2 | Register Now! "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” – Sun Tzu. Threat actors are the enemy to your operational resilience and ability to survive. Knowing their strategy and tactics will help you resist and recover from their malicious actions and keep critical workloads available. In this webinar, you’ll learn: Exploits and techniques your organization will face How AI is accelerating these threats Counter-measures to face the onslaught Register Now!The Foundations of Cyber Resilience: Visibility and Indelibility

In this back-to-basics webinar, we’ll break down how Pure Storage SafeMode™ Snapshots and Pure1® security assessments work together to form a resilient last line of defense for your data. In this live demonstration, you’ll see how they protect data integrity, accelerate recovery, and simplify security operations. Key takeaways: How immutable SafeMode Snapshots protect data from ransomware and insider threats Best practices for snapshot policies that balance recovery speed and operational efficiency What “secure by default” looks like when these features work together in real environments Register Now!
Cyber Recovery Redefined
November 19 | Register Now! Join Pure Storage experts for a live demo of the latest in cyber resilience. See how Pure Recovery Zones automatically create isolated, secure recovery environments for fast, clean restores. These innovations redefine how organizations recover from cyberattacks—faster, smarter, and more securely. Key takeaways: Array-based data intelligence discovers which applications are mission-critical, such as databases versus print servers, so that automation can map and tag app volumes with security tiers of service. Pure1® can discover these tiers and create custom recovery zones. This tells replication services where data should be replicated into and limits compute and network compromise. Role of third-party tools that can validate applications and, if necessary, clean data within the zone. Automation can promote the application to its production destination, thereby limiting compromise. Register Now!When Security Awareness Fails: Effective Cyber Recovery
October 30 | Register Now! Based on Ponemon Institute research, cyber incidents reveal that recovery times are not hours, but days with organizations frequently suffering data loss. Despite the best efforts of cybersecurity awareness and security investments, organizations still need to amplify their recovery strategies to minimize business disruption and data integrity. This session will explore: How organizations should continue investing in cybersecurity Why measure cyber recovery in minutes and hours vs. days Using new cyber resilient storage capabilities to speed up recovery The cross-functional and cross-technology cyber recovery process and the importance of rehearsals and testing Register Now!The SafeMode Seance: A Cyber Security Haunting
