The third quarter of 2026 reinforced a decisive shift in the threat environment: ransomware is increasingly shedding the “ware” in favor of pure, low-friction data extortion. Nowhere was this clearer than in the recent high-profile leak of internal chat logs belonging to the Silent Ransom Group. The leaked communications revealed threat actors who have largely abandoned network-wide encryption binaries in favor of direct cloud and SaaS exfiltration, aggressive social engineering, and targeted physical insider attacks. By removing the costly, labor-intensive deployment of ransomware encryption, groups like Silent Ransom Group can execute rapid breach-and-extort operations that bypass traditional endpoint defenses while maintaining leverage over victims.

Your jobs completed last night. Retention is enforced, repositories are provisioned, and the dashboard has been green all week. None of that answers the two questions you'll get in the first 10 minutes of an incident: How fast can we be back? And back to what? Read more

Most multicloud environments weren't planned. They grew with one smart decision at a time: AWS here, Azure there, and on-premises where it made the most sense. Read more

For 20 years, the resilience question Veeam answered was simple: Can I recover? In the agentic AI era, the question now is whether you can tell precisely what was affected, who or what touched it, and how to get back to a trusted state. Agents run for hours or days at a time, with the autonomy to reason through logical steps and make decisions without human oversight. They're also adept at finding novel paths to their goals — paths that technically stay inside the boundaries of their harness but land somewhere their human operators never intended. An AI agent can follow every rule you wrote and still end up overwriting the data your business runs on. Read more

Every enterprise knows roughly what its storage costs, but far fewer know how much of that storage is holding data nobody will open again. Read more

Market share is a strange thing to celebrate. Customers care whether you can get them back to business when something goes wrong. Partners care whether you make them look credible to their clients. Everything else is just a scoreboard. Read more

Somewhere in your organization, an AI agent has permission to do real work. It reads records, updates systems, moves data, and finishes tasks without asking anyone, which is exactly what you hired it for. The same permission that lets it work also lets it do damage. And there’s no version of the agent that gets one without the other. Read more

AI adoption has moved fast. In Veeam’s Data & AI Trust Maturity Model research study, 95% of organizations say they’ve already deployed AI in their environment. The data and operational foundations to support that adoption haven’t kept pace. More than half of respondents scaled back at least one AI initiative in the past 18 months. That’s the gap between deploying AI and having the foundation to sustain it. Read more

Your servers are backed up. Your laptops are backed up. Microsoft 365 is probably covered by that add-on someone bought two years ago but nobody has logged into since. So why does “we’re protected” still feel more like a hunch than a fact? Read more
