In the panel discussion with our experts, we will address these megatrends and offer you our insights.

Data sovereignty, data protection, and data recovery

– or how to reconcile American manufacturers with European data protection requirements?

From 2026, data security will be fundamentally revised: Our proven ELET format addresses these developments – based on practical experience and confirmed by the latest assessments in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for backup and data protection platforms. The focus is on the trend toward centralized platforms for on-premises and cloud environments, the growing importance of standalone SaaS and IAM backup in the context of the shared responsibility model, and the transition to application-centric recovery with cloud app discovery and orchestrated recovery testing.

(Cyber) resilience, cloud, data classification, and the future with AI

It is also becoming clear that data sovereignty and cloud resilience are becoming strategic management issues: The conscious selection of hypervisors, cloud architectures, SaaS platforms, and AI technologies is increasingly determining security, scalability, and regulatory future viability. Backup platforms are evolving into integral cyber resilience systems – flexible as BaaS, hybrid, or self-managed – supported by GenAI and the first AI agents for automating operations and recovery. In addition, backup data is gaining importance as a strategic resource, for example for classification, analysis, investigations, and AI-supported decisions.
