Discover How AI Can Transform Data Security: Insights from Experts at Druva's On-Demand Virtual Summit

Cyber threats and generative AI are big buzzwords right now. Everyone’s trying to figure out how to protect their organizations from threats like ransomware and how AI can step in to help. But, adopting AI for data security comes with its own challenges—like legal and regulatory issues, data privacy concerns, figuring out if it’s worth the investment, the list goes on.

Meanwhile, threat actors have already cracked the code. They don’t play by the rules and regulations that we do and are constantly exploiting vulnerabilities with AI tools of their own. That’s why cybercrime has become one of the fastest-growing industries in the world.

So, how do you navigate this complicated AI and data security landscape? The best way is to learn from experts who have been through it and are actively finding solutions. That’s exactly why we created the Data Security & AI Virtual Summit. Available now on-demand, this is your chance to hear from top experts who’ll share practical insights to boost your security and harness AI’s power for your organization.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll learn at the virtual summit.

Choosing the right AI: trust, flexibility, and security at the forefront

AI often raises more questions than it answers. Before you jump into utilizing AI in your organization, you have to make sure it's a service/vendor you can trust, your data won’t be made public under any circumstances, and integrating it with your existing tools and services won’t cause any IT or data security issues.      

When David Gildea, VP of Product for Generative AI at Druva, embarked on developing Dru Investigate— our AI copilot for data security that helps you work smarter, not harder, to investigate and remedy issues in your backup environment, make recommendations, and more— he recognized the critical need for a flexible and reliable LLM (Large Language Model) foundation. After careful consideration, Druva chose Amazon Bedrock to power Dru Investigate, a decision that has proven instrumental in meeting our customers’ diverse and evolving needs.

Amazon Bedrock’s flexibility allows Druva to adapt its AI solutions seamlessly, ensuring that our customers receive the most advanced, reliable support in their data security journey. Now, with a deep understanding of what it takes to implement AI, watch as David joins forces with Krishnas Srinivas Iyer, Head of Engineering at Amazon Q — a chatbot developed by Amazon for enterprise use — in an engaging fireside chat. This session is designed to address common concerns and shed light on key factors you might not have considered while choosing the right AI solutions for your organization.

Learn how to think like a cybersecurity villain

When the IT or security team of an organization is analyzing a breach, there’s always that unspoken reminder—the longer it takes to find the root cause, the more money and brand reputation are at risk. 

So, how can we accelerate the process of finding the issue? What if you could get a glimpse into the mind of a threat actor when planning the attack? The process of searching for the security lapse would be much easier, right?

Druva has teamed up with Eric O’Neil, Cybersecurity Expert, Former FBI Operative, and National Security Strategist to help you understand how to think like a spy hunter, stay a step ahead, and end up on the winning side.

Breaking down silos: how customers are really leveraging AI to improve data security

Listen in as Craig Guinasso, CISO at Alector, and Yogesh Badve, CSO at Druva, chat about Craig’s shift from law enforcement to cybersecurity, the critical role of secondary data in AI and data forensics, and how data security is evolving.

They dive into the importance of having AI governance committees to evaluate risks and rewards, while also discussing how attackers are getting smarter by using AI. Craig also shares how AI can boost security operations and how companies should balance the potential risks with the return on investment when adopting AI.

Do more — quicker, easier, and smarter

When an incident happens, every second matters. In these high-pressure moments, navigating through security alerts without clear data insights feels like a chaotic race through a labyrinth of uncertainty.

To respond quickly, you need to gather the right information. But, that’s easier said than done, especially with legacy data security solutions like Veeam. So how do you handle this situation? Do more — quicker, easier, and smarter. Get the details on how Dru Investigate and Assist empowers admins and security teams to perform their very best.
