Cyber-attacks don’t wait and neither should you. Ransomware, insider risks, misconfigurations, cloud misalignments — the attack surface is huge. That’s why NetApp INSIGHT 2025 is placing a strong emphasis on Cyber Resilience. Attending these sessions isn’t just a chance to learn; it’s essential to safeguarding your data and operations for the long haul. 

Why these sessions matter:

  1. Built-in security at the storage layer 
    NetApp is not just providing bolt-ons to secure your data. NetApp storage is fortified with immutable snapshots, built-in role/access controls, policy engines, real-time anomaly detection for file, block and native cloud, and threat remediation — all baked into ONTAP. You’ll see that securing your data “where it lives” is a powerful defense strategy to strengthen your overall security posture. 
  2. AI embedded into security capabilities 
    Modern threats require more than static rules. NetApp is embedding AI/ML into observability, detecting anomalous user/file behavior, real-time alerting, automated response options. This helps in detecting threats earlier, reducing false positives, and responding faster. Attendees will see how these AI-powered capabilities work in practice. 
  3. Comprehensive portfolio: Protect, Detect, Recover 
    True cyber resilience isn’t just prevention. NetApp’s solutions cover backup & recovery, disaster recovery, ransomware protection, auditing, compliance, policy enforcement, and recovery workflows. The sessions will walk you through how all these pieces fit together. The cyber resilience demo area in the Expo Hall will show case demos and host experts to answer all your questions around keeping your data secure on NetApp. 
  4. Don’t Miss our Cyber Resilience Featured Session FS-3300 
    One session not to miss is FS-3300. This featured session presented by Gagan Gulati, NetApp’s SVP & GM of Data Services drills into NetApp’s security at the storage level, showing how you can protect, detect, and recover using the full breadth of NetApp’s capabilities including new capabilities being announced at the event. Showcasing Agilent, to provide the customer perspective on using built-in security and linking security teams with storage teams to remove any security blind spots.  It’s deeply relevant for anyone responsible for infrastructure, security, or operations — this session lays out what resilience really looks like in action.  
  5. Actionable Takeaways & Best Practices 
    It’s not just theory. Many sessions include real customer stories, hands-on labs, or deep dives into feature capabilities. You’ll leave NetApp INSIGHT 2025 with clear next steps: what tools to deploy, how to configure defense in depth, and what measurement/monitoring to put in place.

And with NetApp’s comprehensive suite — from snapshots to immutable backups to real-time detection — you can prepare, respond, and recover more confidently. 

If your goal is minimizing risk, reducing downtime, and ensuring business continuity under threat, then the Cyber Resilience track at NetApp INSIGHT 2025 is not optional — it’s critical.
