Agenda

08:15 AM - 09:00 AM: Registration & Light Breakfast

9:00 AM - 9:05 AM: Welcome Address Steven Sim, Commvault + Geoff Haydon, Commvault

9:05 AM - 9:25 AM: The AI Imperative: Resilience Reimagined Alan Atkinson, Commvault

The AI-driven, agentic enterprise is a different animal. It operates instantaneously, autonomously, and at massive scale. Yet, the data your organisation depends on has never been further from its origin or more complex and vulnerable. Consequently, CIOs and CISOs must rethink the availability, accuracy, integrity, and dependability of its data for this new AI era. In his keynote, Alan Atkinson will delve into how Commvault helps enterprises confidently and safely scale resilience to power a continuous and competitive AI advantage.

9:25 AM - 10:10 AM: The Next Standard of Resilience Daniel Tan (DT), Commvault

AI is transforming the very fabric of cyber resilience. In this mainstage innovation showcase, Daniel Tan will unveil breakthrough innovations that redefine how organisations secure, manage, and recover their data in the AI era.

10:10 AM - 10:40 AM: Hacking Cyber Defence: The Case for the Hacker Mindset Emil Tan, Booz Allen Hamilton

Cybersecurity is often approached as a problem of frameworks, controls, and compliance. But in reality, it is a contest of thinking between defenders and adversaries operating in parallel. This talk explores why effective cyber defence begins with understanding the attacker. It traces the shift from compliance to adversary thinking, and ultimately to the hacker mindset — a way of seeing systems differently, questioning assumptions, and uncovering what others miss.

10:40 AM - 11:10 AM: Tea-Break

11:10 AM - 11:40 AM: Think Like an Adventurer: Stay Ready, Recover Fast, Move Forward Rob Lilwall, Adventurer

11:40 AM - 11:55 AM: Sponsor Spotlight: Reimagining Data Protection in the age of AI & Cybercrime Gerald Teo, Hewlett Packard Enterprise

11:55 AM - 12:45 PM: Panel Discussion: Beyond the Hype, Making Cyber Resilience Real Moderator: Gareth Russell, Commvault 

Panellists: Tom Hayhurst, Amazon Web Services + Mathew Varghese, Hitachi Vantara + Alvin See, Keppel Technology Solutions + Daniel Tan (DT), Commvault

The challenge is no longer understanding cyber and data resilience, it is executing it. In a world where AI is accelerating everything and threats never slow down, resilience is no longer just about preparation, it is about performance in the moment.

But how do organisations move from theory to action? Where do they start, how fast should they move, and how do they adopt AI responsibly while strengthening cyber and data resilience?

This panel brings together practitioners to explore how they are building resilience into everyday operations, embedding ResOps, and designing recovery strategies that actually work when tested. It is a practical conversation about what it takes to operate through disruption, not just plan for it, and how resilience becomes a competitive advantage when it is built to perform under pressure.

12:45PM - 1:00PM: Locknote Martin Creighan, Commvault

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch
