Identity-based attacks are a CISO's nightmare, with 90% of cyber intrusions leveraging phished or leaked credentials and privilege escalation. Once compromised, attackers can move anywhere across the data estate and are frequently infiltrating your cloud environments. In this session, we'll dive into the unified approach of Rubrik Identity and Cloud Resilience, demonstrating how it goes beyond traditional data protection to secure your entire hybrid identity, including Active Directory and Entra ID, as well as safeguarding your ability to recover data after an incident. We'll explore how to proactively manage identity and data risk, continuously monitor for changes, and—when prevention fails—orchestrate a fast, clean recovery of all your data across your identity & cloud platforms. You will learn how your organization can maintain business continuity, even in the face of a catastrophic event.
