Modernize your Data Lakehouse with Object Storage - Trends, Tech, and the Road Ahead

The contemporary threat landscape, characterized by advanced persistent threats and supply chain compromises, has rendered the concept of a perfectly secure network a dangerous fallacy. This analysis moves beyond traditional cybersecurity's prevention-centric model to propose a framework for cyber resiliency—the ability to deliver intended outcomes despite ongoing cyberattacks. Hitachi with 100+ years of legacy and having leadership in both IT and Operational Technology (OT), deconstructs resiliency into critical operational domains: Assume Breach mindset, Zero Trust principles to minimize blast radius, and Cyber Recovery assurance with isolated, immutable backups to ensure restoration. Furthermore, we identify the existential threat posed by quantum computing to current public-key cryptography (e.g., RSA, ECC). A truly resilient posture must therefore be "Quantum-Safe," proactively integrating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms and quantum key distribution (QKD) to safeguard data against both present and future cryptographically-relevant quantum attacks.

Secure by Design: Quantum-Safe Resilience in the Age of Inevitable Breaches

Cyber threats are escalating in volume and sophistication, and the increasing complexity of data environments can hinder recovery efforts. But all this, alongside growing regulatory and compliance demands, means it’s more important than ever before to bolster cyber resilience to mitigate downtime, data loss, and regulatory risk by ensuring business continuity. Our experts discuss navigating uptime and data integrity in this challenging environment, and the crucial role of predictable rapid recovery in the event of a breach. 
From the importance of proactive ransomware detection to data recovery preparedness in the face of automated attacks, get all this plus: 
• Why traditional backup and recovery processes, which can take hours to restore data, are no longer fit for purpose. 
• The importance of predictable recovery times and the ability to recover clean, usable data. 
• How a faster, clean production data recovery guarantee gives customers predictable cyber resilience.

Join our webinar to overcome cyber-attacks fast, meet regulatory requirements, and keep business moving no matter what.

Cyberattacks: Is Predictable Business Continuity Possible?

AI is rewriting the rules of competition. Compliance regulations are constantly shifting. The pressure to choose data storage that can handle the unpredictable has never been greater.

Making the right infrastructure investment demands foresight. In this webinar, our guest speakers from Forrester bring more than just predictions: they discuss findings from a Total Economic Impact™ study commissioned by Hitachi Vantara that reveals the key drivers behind high-impact data storage decisions. You’ll discover:

• What the future of enterprise storage looks like

AI Systems are rapidly emerging in a broad range of industries and applications. Businesses find themselves compelled to accelerate and deploy these systems at “warp speed,” far more rapidly than previous new or emerging technologies. But AI introduces many new risks. In the rush to deploy and monetize AI, there has been little time to understand these risks, nor how to manage and mitigate them. Reports of failures, financial loss, litigation, and reputational damage appear in the news regularly. Even the most experienced and sophisticated AI players have been exposed to these risks.

This session will review the key risks of AI systems and their impacts. Many of these are new and unique. Additionally, unlike conventional systems, these associated risks extend into operational deployment and ongoing production use of AI systems. Industry thought leader Allan Cytryn will present examples and consequences along with insights and guidance on measuring, managing, and mitigating them. 

Attendees will develop a meaningful understanding of what AI is and isn’t, its risks, and how to effectively lead risk management efforts in their organizations. This session is foundational, and hence will also provide attendees a basis for further exploration of AI risks and risk management on their own.
