Rebuild From Zero:
What Wiper Attacks Reveal About the Missing Layer in Cyber Resilience

Wiper attacks don't encrypt. They delete, and there's no key coming. A large healthcare organization lost 200,000+ endpoints to a wiper attack in March 2026. A large auto manufacturer was offline for five weeks in 2025, with £1.9B in downstream damage. You probably heard about them. In both cases, backups existed. The infrastructure those backups needed to run on did not. That gap is what this session is about.

CEO | Firefly

Veeam covers immutable, validated data backup and clean restoration. Firefly covers live infrastructure state capture and IaC-driven redeployment. One recovers what ran, while the other recovers what it ran on.

Watch Ido Neeman, CEO of Firefly, and Michael Cade, Field CTO at Veeam, break down cloud resilience

You'll leave with:

A clear picture of where your current DR plan breaks down against a wiper scenario

A two-layer recovery model that covers data and the infra it runs on

A framework for capturing infrastructure state before an incident forces you to rebuild from memory

Concrete next steps, whether you have Veeam in place today or are starting from scratch

What’s Inside?

Governance, risk, and compliance

Logical air-gapping

Encryption

Incident response plan

Monitoring and logging

Snapshots vs. regular backups

Least-privilege access

Immutable backups

Recovery to an alternate location

Regular audits and penetration testing

of organizations rely on cloud-powered protection, which is why a gap between backup data and the infrastructure it restores onto is now a business risk, not an edge case.
