Rewind at IDC AI & Data
Summit 2026

We’re heading to IDC’s AI & DATA Summit 2026 in Toronto, where senior IT and data leaders come together to talk about what’s actually working in AI, and what can go wrong if the data behind it isn’t protected.

As AI moves from experimentation to expectation, the risks around data loss, misconfiguration, and unintended actions from AI-driven systems are becoming very real. At Rewind, we help organizations protect the data that powers their critical systems, so innovation doesn’t come at the expense of resilience.

Join us in the Networking Hall or catch our 5-minute Lightning Insight on the main stage, where we’ll flip the AI hype narrative and explore AI through a risk-management lens. We’ll share how teams can maximize the upside of AI initiatives while safeguarding the data, agents, and business processes they depend on.

If you’re thinking about governance, recovery, or protecting critical data in AI-driven environments, we’d love to connect.

5-minute Lightning Insight

Building SaaS Resilience in the age of AI

Imagine someone, or something, on your team deletes six months of roadmap planning. This isn’t hypothetical. 85% of organizations reported at least one SaaS data loss event last year.

Most assume their SaaS vendor will help. They won’t. It’s in the Terms of Service: your data is your responsibility. That model works at human speed.

Someone deletes a Jira ticket, you catch it, you fix it. AI changes the math. A misconfigured agent doesn’t delete one page; it deletes hundreds in seconds.

The question isn’t whether AI will make your team faster. It will. The question is whether you can recover when it causes serious damage. If your SaaS resilience plan still assumes only humans touch your data, it’s time to rethink it.
