Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery mit Azure in Zürich

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery mit Azure in Zürich

Small Decisions, Big Impact: Wie du resilient bleibst – egal was kommt
Krisen kommen oft unerwartet – ob Naturereignisse oder Ransomware-Attacken. Sie legen Systeme lahm, gefährden Daten und verursachen enorme Kosten. In diesem Workshop zeigen wir dir Tools und Strategien, mit denen du deine IT auch im Ernstfall am Laufen hältst.
In einer digitalen, vernetzten Welt ist unterbrechungsfreier Betrieb nicht verhandelbar. Eine starke Business Continuity und Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Strategie ist entscheidend, um Geschäftsrisiken zu minimieren – egal ob durch Cyberangriffe, technische Ausfälle oder menschliche Fehler. Wir zeigen dir, was BCDR auslöst und wie Azure als Plattform für echte Resilienz dient. Mit modernen Ansätzen wie Infrastructure-as-Code und Automatisierung wird BCDR nicht nur effektiver, sondern auch effizienter und kostenschonender.
Der Workshop findet auf Englisch statt.

10:15 - 10:45 Digital Sovereignty and Resilience – Microsoft’s Commitments to Europe in the Context of BCDR Daniel von Büren, Swiss Security Officer, Microsoft In an era of growing geopolitical uncertainty and increasing demands around data protection, compliance, and business resilience, Microsoft has announced a set of major commitments to strengthen digital sovereignty, privacy, and operational continuity across Europe. This session provides an exclusive look at Microsoft’s five key assurances for Europe. We will explore how these initiatives are directly relevant to building and enhancing business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategies that are secure, compliant, and future-proof. Learn how organizations can boost their digital resilience with a cloud that aligns with European values and is designed to support operations – even in times of crisis. |

Pascal Kistler starts with an introduction to the regional availability of the Microsoft Cloud and highlights the number of Azure regions, network points of presence (PoPs), and data centers worldwide. Learn the fundamental concepts – from data center regions and availability zones to the specific terminology of the Azure infrastructure. Additionally, discover how Microsoft designs its infrastructure to provide maximum efficiency and reliability for critical services, focusing on high availability, disaster recovery, and backup scenarios. Microsoft's sustainability goals, such as carbon negativity by 2030, are also emphasized, along with innovative projects like Project Silica and DNA storage. |

This session explores why a strong business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategy is key to reducing corporate risk — whether caused by cyberattacks, natural disasters, or simple human error. Find out which incidents trigger BCDR measures and how Microsoft Azure technologies help keep operations running smoothly. We’ll also look at modern methods like Infrastructure as Code and automation that make BCDR not only more efficient, but also more cost-effective. |

13:30 - 14:15 Uhr Worst Case Ransomware Attack: What Now? Florian Stöckl, Azure Lead Ransomware attacks are among the most serious threats to businesses today – within seconds, critical data can be encrypted and entire IT infrastructures brought to a standstill. This presentation offers hands-on guidance to help organizations stay up and running in an emergency. Find out which data, documents, and services matter most in the crucial first hours, how to get a crisis team up and communicating fast, and how to make sure there are no backdoors or lingering threats left in the system. We’ll also introduce Azure Emergency Response Environments (AzERE) from glueckkanja—a smart solution designed to support companies in tackling ransomware head-on. To wrap up, we’ve set aside time for your questions in a dedicated Q&A session. |
