"It doesn’t matter which industry you belong to, data is your lifeblood" - Veeam CEO tells us why getting security and resiliency right is the key to unleashing the power of AI (www.techradar.com)

Veeam's CEO, Anand Eswaran, highlighted the critical importance of data security and resilience in the era of AI during a recent interview. As AI integration in business accelerates, the accompanying rise in data threats—from advanced malware crafted by AI tools to regulatory concerns over unstructured data—demands a unified approach to data management. Eswaran emphasized that effective AI utilization hinges on establishing robust security measures and data governance to mitigate project failures caused by untrusted data. The company's recent $1.725 billion acquisition of Securiti AI underlines its commitment to addressing these challenges. Eswaran argued that every industry must prioritize data as the foundation of its operations, asserting, “There is no AI without data security, and there is no trust in AI without data resilience.” Veeam aims to create a comprehensive platform that integrates data security controls with resilience across the entire data lifecycle, ensuring that organizations can successfully leverage AI technologies. By recognizing and bridging the gap between fragmented tools and internal expertise, Veeam positions itself as a critical ally for companies seeking to unlock the full potential of AI while safeguarding their data assets from disruption and misuse.
