CXOWIRE EPISODE: Availability of data is not availability of operations

The start of the Middle East conflict has brought into focus the correlation between technology resilience, physical resilience, and business survival. Enterprises in the region are using a host of measures for business, data, process and operational continuity, many of them in play for the first time. Santiago Pontiroli from the Acronis Threat Research Unit advises on how regional enterprises need to relook at their cloud regions and cloud availability zones for business survival.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why multi-cloud and multi-region strategies are now critical
  • The myth of “cloud is always available” exposed
  • How cyber threats increase during geopolitical conflicts
  • The importance of hybrid architecture (cloud + on-premise)
  • The updated 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy (and why most companies fail it)
  • Balancing resilience vs cost vs complexity
  • What CIOs must change in their SLAs and DR strategies

Who Should Watch:

CIOs, CISOs, IT leaders, and decision-makers responsible for:

✔ Cybersecurity

✔ Cloud architecture

✔ Business continuity

✔ Disaster recovery

This is not a theoretical discussion—it’s a practical playbook for staying operational when everything else fails.

Join the conversation and rethink your resilience strategy.
