Hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Emily Chang, Cohesity Catalyst will open with a keynote from Cohesity CEO and President Sanjay Poonen on the resilience imperative: why enterprises need to rethink how they protect, secure, and recover data as AI becomes both a tool and a threat. The event will feature perspectives from leaders across AI, cybersecurity, enterprise technology, and global business, including Chris Kempczinski, President and CEO of McDonald's; Jason Clinton, Deputy CISO of Anthropic; Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud; Dr. Matt Wood, Chief AI and Technology Officer of AWS; and Kari Briski, Vice President of Generative AI at NVIDIA.
The summit will also feature new Cohesity research exposing where enterprise recovery plans fall short. Attendees will get a first look at new capabilities, including Cohesity Maestro and Agent Resilience, designed to bring visibility and control to multi-agent environments. The sessions will also show how autonomous recovery workflows can help teams restore critical applications and the minimum viable company faster after an attack. In a featured session, award-winning actor, comedian, and writer Brett Goldstein will join Cohesity CMO Carol Carpenter for a fireside chat on navigating change, confronting failure, and finding the courage to reinvent.
"AI agents are changing how enterprises operate, and resilience now has to extend beyond infrastructure to the data, applications, and workflows those agents touch," said Carol Carpenter, Chief Marketing Officer, Cohesity. "At Catalyst, we'll bring together technology leaders, customers, and partners to show what control, recovery, and transformation look like for the agentic enterprise."
