AI trust infrastructure is quickly becoming a critical requirement as enterprises scale intelligent systems across their operations. The focus is shifting from simple data protection to securing, governing and building resilience into AI-driven environments at scale.
At the VeeamON 2026 event, Veeam Software Group GmbH sought to respond to those trends, positioning itself beyond its roots as a backup and recovery stalwart toward AI governance and data security. Two decades down the line for the company, Veeam Chief Executive Officer Anand Eswaran used the event’s opening keynote to look back on the various technology eras it has moved through — with an eye squarely on future of agents, according to theCUBE’s Dave Vellante (pictured, right).
“Veeam has always been there with the latest trend, making it really simple, taking tough operational problems and simplifying them. They went from virtualization and obviously cloud [and] containers,” Vellante said. “Now, of course, they’re talking heavily [about] the agentic era.”
Vellante and theCUBE’s Krista Case (left) broke down the major themes in a keynote analysis at the VeeamON event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed Veeam’s evolution, the growing importance of AI trust infrastructure, as well as the expanding role of cyber resilience and data security in enterprise AI environments.
