Tom Heyes discusses how AI agents are transforming organizational risk management through advanced data mapping and intelligent backup protection, while Naj Husain from Elastio shares insights into their AI-powered ransomware recovery assurance platform that validates backup integrity with machine learning precision. Together, they examine how autonomous systems are revolutionizing everything from value chain analysis to real-time threat detection, and envision a future where AI agents provide continuous, proactive resilience orchestration. This conversation reveals how the combination of strategic operational frameworks and cutting-edge backup validation technologies is creating a new standard for organizational cyber resilience. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/digital-dialogs-compact-conversations-on-the-future-of-tech-7066827/episodes/digital-dialogs-episode-2-s4-ai-agents-for-operational-resilience-defending-against-disruption/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/digital-dialogs-compact-conversations-on-the-future-of-tech-7066827/digital-dialogs-episode-2-s4-ai-agents-for-operational-resilience-defending-against-disruption.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
