Security and IT teams are drowning in endless alerts and chasing signals that rarely translate into actionable defense. Meanwhile, attackers increasingly target the one asset most organizations overlook - backups.

This session reframes backup data as more than passive insurance: with AI and Agents, see how it can be transformed into an active layer for cyber defense. We’ll explore how conversational AI lets analysts query backup intelligence in plain language, how autonomous agents continuously harden controls and validate recovery readiness, and how ML-driven anomaly detection surfaces early indicators of ransomware without brittle rules. You’ll also see how streaming backup telemetry into SIEM/XDR enriches alerts with context, speeding detection and response.

During this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Use AI agents to interrogate backup intelligence and accelerate investigations.
• Detect ransomware early with ML-driven behavioral anomalies.
• Integrate backup telemetry into SecOps tools for faster, richer defense.
