🚨 Cyber threats are evolving faster than most organisations can keep up. The real challenge isn’t just protection anymore, it’s resilience. The gap between what businesses expect and what they’re actually prepared for is widening… and AI is only accelerating the pressure. Craig Sargent breaks down why shifting from cybersecurity to cyber resilience is now essential, and what organisations can do to close the gap. 👉 Dive into the full blog to see why this shift can’t wait: https://lnkd.in/eVJbze2v For all your Commvault needs or questions, please get in touch with Craig, our Commvault BDM 📧 craig.sargent@dickerdata.co.nz #WEAREDDR | Dan Wehner | Craig Sargent | Kenny Cheung | Simon Tabrum

⏱️Every minute matters when a cyber incident strikes. It was great to see partners come together for Commvault Minutes to Meltdown, with strong engagement and thoughtful discussion around data protection, cyber resilience, and recovery readiness. From working through a live cyberattack simulation and pressure‑testing real‑world decision‑making, to sharing practical insights with peers, the session was all about helping partners prepare before disruption strikes. Partners also enjoyed an immersive Wētā Workshop Unleashed experience, bringing together technology, creativity, and storytelling - a great way to round out the morning.

🎣 The Dell Technologies Get Reel 2026 season has officially wrapped! We were thrilled to host this year’s winners in the far north of Whangaroa for an exclusive three-day experience, exploring some of New Zealand’s most pristine and productive fishing waters. The team enjoyed one of the most memorable trips in Get Reel history - reeling in more than 30 kingfish, along with gemfish and bass. An unforgettable way to close out the season. A huge thank‑you to everyone who helped make the 2026 series such a standout success. We can’t wait to see what Get Reel brings next.   #WEAREDDR | Evan Jones | Cameron May | Richard Harri | Paritosh Gaur
