The May 2026 edition of the Brisbane VMUG meeting will be held on Wednesday 13th May at Christies Workspaces, Ground Floor, 320 Adelaide St, Brisbane from 12pm – 2pm. It’s sponsored by Broadcom and DriveSavers and promises to be a great afternoon.

Here’s the agenda:

Recovering Critical Virtual Environments when backups fail or are compromised through a Cyber Incident

Adrian Briscoe – Director – DriverSavers Data Recovery

DriveSavers as a last-resort, enterprise-grade recovery partner for VMware environments when backups and native tools fail. It explains how DriveSavers recovers virtual machines, disks, and critical business data across ESXi and vSphere environments, covering common failure scenarios like corruption, ransomware, and storage issues. It highlights flexible recovery methods (remote, onsite, lab) and emphasises strong security, compliance, and proven expertise.

Security and Compliance at the speed of apps

Mark Cheetham – FSI Strategy Director APJ CTO Advisory – Broadcom

In the world of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), agility is the goal—but compliance is the requirement. Too often, security becomes the “Department of No” because manual audits and static policies can’t keep up with automated deployment pipelines.

We will be diving into how VCF 9 and the latest Advanced Cyber Compliance (ACC) services allow you to:

• Automate Drift Remediation
• Implement Zero-Trust for AI
• Shift Security Left

Don’t let your compliance checklist become a bottleneck. Let’s talk about building a private cloud that is secure by design and fast by default.
