Beyond Recovery: Establishing a ResOps Framework for Higher Education

Higher education institutions operate in an increasingly complex threat landscape where cyber incidents have become an expected part of doing business. As recent breaches have shown, building resilience requires a strategy that goes beyond prevention and response.

Join experts from Commvault and Microsoft for a practical discussion on what it truly means to be ready in today’s threat environment. Learn how leading institutions are moving from tactical recovery to strategic cyber resilience by validating recovery plans, conducting realistic exercises and establishing Resilience Operations (ResOps) as a core component of cybersecurity readiness.  

Our speakers will dive into:

  • Lessons from recent higher education cyber incidents
  • Moving beyond backup and recovery to a strategic resilience operations framework
  • What effective recovery testing and cyber recovery exercises look like
  • Integrating response and recovery into a unified resilience strategy including strategic partnerships/ecosystems

Whether you're a CIO, CISO, security leader or operations practitioner, this session will provide actionable guidance to assess readiness, strengthen recovery capabilities and prepare for the next major disruption before it happens.
