As you may be aware, Red Hat OpenShift is emerging as a strong contender to be a single platform for all workloads: Containerized applications, AI, and virtual machines. With Veeam Kasten — Kubernetes-native data protection backed by a long-standing Red Hat partnership and proven at scale across cloud and air-gapped hybrid deployments —organizations can modernize with confidence, as traditional virtualization platforms fall short for cloud-native, declarative architectures.

The data protection industry has spent thirty years getting better at one thing: the mechanism of backup. Jobs are faster, coverage is broader, recovery is near-instant. By every operational metric, we’ve succeeded. But there’s a question underneath all of it that the industry has never really answered: do you actually know what you’re protecting? Not whether it’s backed up, whether you can tell the business-critical, sensitive, or regulated data apart from the redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT), and whether you know which AI agents are reading and modifying any of it. Without that understanding, you are protecting data but not truly resilient. Read more

AI isn’t slowing down, and neither are cyberthreats. Many organizations are navigating both, causing them to expand Microsoft 365 and modernize infrastructure. The result is a new kind of pressure: Not just to protect data, but to stay in control as complexity and risk accelerate. Read more

Ransomware attacks in 2024–2025 have become far more deliberate. Attackers often spend time stealing credentials, moving laterally, and exfiltrating data before triggering encryption. When the payload finally runs, many variants use intermittent or selective encryption, encrypting only portions of files or skipping large data segments, to disguise activity and accelerate impact. Because of this, detections that rely solely on sudden resource spikes can miss early warning signs, leaving organizations unaware until recovery becomes impossible. Read more

Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to reformat your entire data estate just to migrate from, say, VMware ESXi to Nutanix AHV. For example, you may have years of data backed up by Veeam while your applications run on VMware ESXi infrastructure in support of your regulatory/compliance solution. There’s just no getting out of it. Read more

Public sector agencies operate in one of the most complex threat environments in the world. Every day, government IT and security teams defend critical systems, such as citizen record databases and defense networks, against adversaries and ransomware campaigns. Read more

AI agents are moving quickly from experimentation to operational infrastructure. In many organizations, that growth is outpacing the ability to control them and recover from failures. An agent is only as trustworthy as the data it can access, and the permissions it operates under. Read more

In today’s threat landscape, security operations center (SOC) teams are expected to respond faster than ever, but critical security signals often remain hidden in places they don’t regularly monitor. One of the biggest blind spots? Backup activity. When attackers target backups for deletion, tampering, or malware injection, those early warning signs rarely make it into the SOC’s detection workflow. Read more

Data is one of the most valuable assets an organization holds, and one of the most targeted. Cyberattacks like ransomware can cause irreversible loss, corruption, or theft of critical information, which disrupts operations and damages trust. Read more
