Abstract
In 2026, the decade-long enterprise obsession with hoarding data has shifted from a strategic asset to a systemic liability. For enterprises, the convergence of aggressive ransomware cartels, strict enforcement of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, and spiraling cloud storage costs has created a perfect storm. The business demands “Infinite Data” to feed Generative AI models, while Security demands “Zero Trust” and data minimization. How do top leaders reconcile these opposing forces?
This session will discuss: The “Lean Cloud” Architecture: Resilience via Reduction; The DPDP Act as a Resilience Catalyst (Not Just Compliance); Discovering the “Dark Cloud”: Data in a Hybrid World.
