IDC & HPE Networking Roundtable
Cyber Resilience by Design: Building Infrastructure That Survives the Breach

In Partnership With
Most security conversations still centre on prevention, but IDC’s 2026 predictions show the ground shifting toward resilience and recovery. By 2028, 85% of APEJ organisations will face phishing attacks using AI-generated synthetic identities, and 75% of detection-and-response playbooks will need to be generated dynamically at the moment of attack. Security is becoming an infrastructure-level discipline: rapid recovery, immutable data protection, and hybrid environments designed to contain an incident and bounce back, not just block it. For security leaders, this offers a stronger business case for resilience investment than simply adding more tools.
This exclusive, invitation-only roundtable, hosted by IDC in partnership with HPE Networking, brings together CISOs, senior security & IT leaders for a closed-door discussion on moving beyond prevention to build resilient infrastructure designed to withstand, recover and adapt.
