Veeam pushes cyber resilience as AI raises data risks
As AI agents expand the enterprise attack surface, cybersecurity teams are putting greater emphasis on an AI resilience strategy built around the ability to recover quickly when prevention fails. That shift is also driving organizations to rethink data governance and security tool sprawl as AI adoption accelerates.
Cyber threats have brought greater attention to resilience in recent years, while AI is further expanding the conversation around what resilience actually means. In security, the concept is shifting away from the idea that organizations can prevent every incident and toward preparing for the reality that some attacks will get through, according to Dave Russell (pictured), senior vice president and head of strategy at Veeam Software Holding Inc.
“It means ‘OK, try to stop everything bad’, of course — but if that doesn’t work, and there’s a good probability at some point, because of the complexity of systems, because of the sophistication of attackers, and in some cases just because of accidents, there are going to be issues that arise,” Russell said. “Resilience isn’t this sort of mindset of make sure it never goes bad, but what do you do if it does?”
