News You Can Use: Intelligence That Works | S01EP03

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 17:12:36 GMT

Relying on siloed IT and security teams to fight autonomous, machine-speed attackers is like bringing manual tools to an automated fight. In Episode 3 of “News You Can Use,” we break down November’s Veeam Customer Newsletter and look at why context, not just backup, is what actually turns raw data into a defensible, audit-ready asset.

How can intelligence, automation, and better insights help customers work more efficiently and make better decisions? By replacing passive storage with active intelligence. This means knowing exactly where your sensitive data lives, cutting the redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data that expands your attack surface, and giving security and IT teams a shared, visual map of access risk before AI agents ever touch it.

In this episode:

Why “backed up” doesn’t mean “ready,” and how Veeam Intelligent ResOps for Microsoft 365 gives you the context to prioritize what actually matters.
Why cutting ROT (redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data is the mandatory first step before layering on advanced security.
Why siloed IT and security teams create blind spots against machine-speed, agentic AI attacks, and what it takes to close them.
How the DataAI Command Graph maps hidden, nested permissions before an AI assistant can stumble into a restricted file.
Veeam’s leadership in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privacy UX, plus where to catch Veeam live at Gartner Barcelona and Microsoft Ignite.

News You Can Use: Resilience Beyond Backup | S01EP02

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 17:08:07 GMT

Automated threat scanning can create a false sense of security if your team isn't actually practicing threat hunts. In Episode 2 of "News You Can Use," we break down October's Veeam Customer Newsletter and look at what it actually takes to move past basic backup and build true resilience.

What does it take to build resilience beyond backup and recovery? It takes unified visibility across your security stack, the discipline to hunt threats backward through your own restore points, and data controls that keep pace with AI agents now operating at machine speed inside the enterprise.

In this episode:

Why phishing and social engineering remain the top attack path, and why compromised credentials keep climbing

How connecting your SIEM and SOAR tools, including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Microsoft, unifies your SOC with end-to-end data protection

How to hunt threats backward through historical restore points to land on a verified last-known-good state, with Tyler Jurgens and Matt Crape

Why AI agents operating at machine speed demand real-time data controls instead of periodic audits, and how Veeam Intelligence helps close the gap

How DATEV protects millions of businesses at scale with resilient data protection and fast recovery

News You Can Use: Why More Security Software Won't Stop Credential Theft | S01EP01

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 16:43:02 GMT

Buying another layer of security software won't stop credential theft, and 74% of breaches trace back to stolen credentials in the first place. In Episode 1 of “News You Can Use”, we break down September's Veeam Customer Newsletter and explain why the real fix is visibility, not more tools.

How does Veeam Data Platform v13.1 and Veeam Intelligence help customers recover faster, protect important data, and operate with greater confidence when it matters most? Through tighter visibility into where sensitive data actually lives, a lower-cost way to archive the data you don't need on premium storage, and an AI assistant that can verify your restore points in plain English during an active incident.

In this episode:

Why legacy data loss prevention tools miss modern threats, and how (Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) closes the gap.

Why siloed ownership, not missing software, is the real reason security gaps persist.

What redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data actually costs you, and how Veeam Vault Archive cuts total cost of ownership.

How to use Veeam Intelligence to verify a clean and recent restore point with one plain-English prompt you can use during an outage.

Veeam's 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant leadership announcement, our Open Secure AI Alliance with Nvidia, and the VeeamON Global Launch.
