IT Elements 2026 to Stage IT Apocalypse Simulations and Critique Russian Vendors
The IT Elements 2026 conference has unveiled its full program, centering on business continuity after successful cyberattacks, infrastructure failures, or technological disasters. Scheduled for September 9-10 at the Serp i Molot cultural center in Moscow, the event will host over one hundred reports, discussions, demonstrations, and master classes. The opening plenary will examine whether the primary-backup data center model remains viable, if the 3-2-1 backup rule still protects against modern ransomware, and whether CIOs or CISOs should own cyber resilience. Practical sessions will demonstrate a full Microsoft migration in 60 minutes, moving Exchange and MinIO to Russian alternatives, and a detailed review of domestic hyperconvergence strengths and weaknesses. Comparative test results for routers, NGFW, and VM systems will be presented without marketing gloss. Additional tracks will cover monitoring of corporate AI models from GPU to prompt under FSTEC Order No. 117, OWASP Top 10 for LLM, and MITRE ATLAS, alongside real-world cases from Rosatom, Beeline, Sber, and T-Bank. Trubnaya Metallurgicheskaya Kompaniya will simulate a 48-hour IT outage and show how to restart operations in half a day.
