Frontier AI is changing how organizations assess threat readiness, and patching cycles alone may no longer be enough to keep pace. As AI-enabled capabilities may increase the speed at which vulnerabilities are identified and exploited, resilience can no longer be treated as a fallback. It should become an operational discipline.
In this session, Commvault’s Vidya Shankaran, Michael Thelander and Pranay Ahlawat walk through four practical steps organizations can take now to build stronger resilience in the age of frontier AI. We'll cover why Mean Time to Clean Recovery (MTCR) may be a better resilience measure than backup schedules alone, how to run a real recovery drill before an incident forces the question, and why attackers may target recovery infrastructure early in an incident. We'll also tackle an emerging challenge many organizations are beginning to confront: what does it actually mean to recover an agentic AI system, and why the resilience layer should be built alongside AI deployment, not after the first breach.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding for moving a resilience program up in their organizational priorities and a sharper set of questions to bring back to their leaders, their security teams, and their infrastructure groups.
