About the event

Data protection and recovery remain core to keeping modern organisations running. As cloud adoption, automation, and AI accelerate, many teams are beginning to ask deeper questions:

  • How long will today’s security decisions continue to protect them? 
  • If your backups are compromised first, what is your remaining path to recovery?
  • How much data could you lose in the gap between a breach occurring and your team detecting it?

This exclusive, in-person event at IBM’s UK headquarters brings together Syscomm and IBM specialists to explore how organisations can reduce data risk today while preparing for the long-term security challenges ahead. From modern encryption approaches to resilience and recovery planning, the session goes beyond surface-level security conversations to focus on protection that lasts across evolving IT environments.

Hear from our Security Solutions Strategist, Mark, as he unpacks what true cyber resilience looks like for modern organisations, how recovery expectations are changing, and where many businesses discover gaps too late.

“I really appreciated the invitation to attend the IBM Defending Your Data event. The latest ransomware and cybersecurity statistics reinforced how important it is to stay ahead of emerging threats.

The session also highlighted the importance of strong contingency planning. It was well worth the trip. IBM and Syscomm were excellent hosts, and the insights shared were relevant and thought-provoking.”
