The concept of “IT resilience” has evolved beyond recovery planning; it’s about enabling continuous operations, informed decision-making, and measurable business outcomes. For many organizations, the journey from traditional IT disaster recovery (ITDR) to IT resilience remains unclear.
This session explores how to elevate ITDR programs through data analytics, AI enabled intelligent automation, and actionable insights. Drawing from industry best practices and real-world examples, this session shows how to identify and leverage operational data that reflects your organization’s true resilience posture, and how AI-driven tools can streamline testing, analysis, and optimization.
Participants will gain practical strategies for incorporating recovery optimization into broader enterprise resilience programs, without turning the conversation into a technology pitch.
Key takeaways:
• How to define and assess IT resilience beyond traditional recovery metrics
• Ways to apply data analytics, AI solutions, and intelligent automation to strengthen testing, response, and recovery analysis
• How to use operational data to demonstrate resilience maturity and value to stakeholders
• The role of recovery optimization in enabling continuous improvement
