Rubrik Forward 2026: What’s on the Agenda and Where to Find Assured Data Protection

From June 8-11, the global cyber resilience community will gather at Rubrik Forward 2026 in Las Vegas. This is one of the year’s biggest conversations around cyber recovery, AI-driven threats, cloud resilience, and operational continuity.

This year’s event comes at an important moment for the industry. Organizations are facing increasingly sophisticated ransomware attacks, growing pressure around recovery readiness, and a rapidly evolving threat landscape shaped by AI and automation. As a result, the conversation is moving beyond backup alone and toward a much bigger question: how do organizations recover safely, confidently, and operationally after a cyberattack?

That shift is reflected throughout Rubrik Forward’s 2026 agenda.

Why this Year’s Event Matters

This year’s sessions and keynotes are heavily focused on:

• Cyber resilience and operational recovery
• AI-driven cyber threats
• Identity security and recovery
• Trusted recovery and recovery readiness
• Cloud and SaaS resilience
• Faster, more automated recovery operations

Recovery confidence is a recurring theme across the event. This means not simply restoring infrastructure, but restoring operations cleanly and securely after compromise. For enterprises, that’s becoming one of the defining resilience challenges of 2026.

Great technology still needs great execution. The right platform matters. So does the expertise behind it, from recovery readiness and validation to operational recovery when every minute counts.

Meet the Assured Team at Forward

Senior leaders and technical specialists from Assured Data Protection will be onsite throughout the event, including:

• Stacy Hayes, Co-Founder, Chief Strategy Officer
• Rob Mackle, Co Founder, Director 
• Andrew Eva, Co-Founder, Global COO
• Alvaro Gonzalez, SVP of Product and Go-to-Market
• Tony Giannini, VP of Channel, Americas

If you’re attending Forward and want to discuss cyber recovery, operational resilience, recovery readiness, or managed resilience services, we’d welcome the opportunity to connect.

Assured will be onsite throughout the event – you can find us at Booth S9.

Don’t Miss Alvaro Gonzalez’s Breakout Session

Alvaro Gonzalez will present one of the key sessions for Assured at this year’s event.

The session focuses on a challenge many organizations are now confronting directly – the reality that backup alone does not guarantee operational recovery.

As Alvaro explains, “Rubrik is a superior platform for protecting data and maintaining uptime against today’s threat landscape. Where Assured adds to that story is in how we deliver and operate both the Rubrik platform itself and the recovery environments customers need to restore to when it matters most. Great technology combined with great execution is what turns a good solution into genuine resilience.”

The breakout will explore practical approaches to strengthening cyber recovery readiness, including:

• Contained isolated recovery environments (IREs)
• Fully hosted disaster recovery
• Proactive multi-engine IOC scanning
• Recovery cloud capabilities designed to support clean recovery operations

The session is particularly relevant for organizations evaluating how to operationalize clean recovery strategies and recovery cloud capabilities alongside Rubrik environments. It also speaks directly to one of the biggest themes emerging across Forward 2026 – trusted recovery.

Across the event agenda, multiple sessions focus on clean rooms, validated recovery, recovery readiness, and restoring operations safely after compromise. This breakout brings a practical, operational perspective to that conversation.

You won’t want to miss this session if cyber recovery strategy is part of your focus this year.
