Backup Restores Data. Cyber Resiliency Restores Trust.

Traditional backup gets you data back. Cyber resiliency gets you trust back — and in 2026, that's the only outcome that matters. James Blake, VP of Global Cyber Resiliency Strategy & Consulting Services at Cohesity, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to draw a hard line between BCDR and cyber resiliency, and to explain why the biggest use of backup today is not natural disasters or hardware failures — it's recovering from a cyber incident. James walks Alan through the rise of wiper attacks from nation-states, hacktivists, and disgruntled insiders, the collateral damage exposed by NotPetya, and why threat actors now target backups first so victims have no choice but to pay. He also unpacks Cohesity's Ransomware Resiliency Workshops — half-day simulations that put C-suite executives through worst-case scenarios with imperfect information — and makes the case that when recovery fails, it's almost never the technology. It's the people, the roles, and the responsibilities.
