Cyber resilience strategy in focus as recovery speed becomes the new business mandate
Cyberattacks are no longer just an information technology problem — they have become a board-level business continuity crisis, forcing enterprises to rethink cyber resilience strategy from the storage layer up.
As cyber resilience strategy evolves from a compliance checkbox into an operational imperative, companies are discovering that immutable backups alone are no longer enough. The real question boardrooms are asking is not whether a backup exists, but how fast the business can recover — and whether recovery has ever actually been tested, according to Leerun Laizerovich (pictured, right), associate vice president of partner technical solutions and design at Commvault Systems Inc.
“In the past, chief security officers and chief financial officers were really asking the questions around, do we have an immutable backup?” Laizerovich said. “How it’s changed now is that it’s become more of a board level discussion. The board is starting to change that landscape and asking, can we recover and how fast can we get there? And so naturally the CSO is becoming the chief recovery officer in tandem.”
Laizerovich and Brandon Willitts (left), director of product management at Everpure Inc., spoke with theCUBE’s Christophe Bertrand and Alison Kosik at Pure Accelerate 2026, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed cyber resilience strategy, how the threat landscape is accelerating, and what enterprise teams must do differently to achieve genuine recoverability. (* Disclosure below.)
