News You Can Use

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.

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 climbingHow connecting your SIEM and SOAR tools, including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Microsoft, unifies your SOC with end-to-end data protectionHow to hunt threats backward through historical restore points to land on a verified last-known-good state, with Tyler Jurgens and Matt CrapeWhy AI agents operating at machine speed demand real-time data controls instead of periodic audits, and how Veeam Intelligence helps close the gapHow DATEV protects millions of businesses at scale with resilient data protection and fast recoveryThis episode is AI-generated from approved written sources.
