Searcys at the Gherkin

Start your morning sky-high at Searcy's at the Gherkin for a morning focused on insights, networking, and real-world solutions to today's IT disaster recovery (IT DR) challenges.

IT DR is a journey, not a sprint, and it matures over time. Join us as we explore the five stages of IT DR maturity so you can see where your company stands and what steps to take next. Plus, we'll dive into how AI-powered runbooks can supercharge your DR, quickly spotting issues and automating those manual, time-consuming tasks.

What will I learn?

  • Compare yourself to your peers: Understand how mature your IT disaster recovery testing processes are in comparison to other global banks we work with.
  • How automation can help you scale up IT DR testing without increasing headcount, giving you greater confidence in your recovery plans.
  • How to respond more efficiently and cost effectively to the regulator's testing requirements.
