AI is creating extraordinary opportunities for organizations to move faster, unlock value from data, and transform how work gets done. Across industries, businesses are deploying copilots, generative AI tools, and autonomous agents to improve productivity, accelerate decision making, and operationalize intelligence at an unprecedented scale.

Identity attacks are no longer a question of "if"; they’re a question of "when." Microsoft's Digital Defense Report recorded 600 million identity-based attacks every single day in 2024. In fact, 93% of all cyberattacks now target identity systems, and 58% of organizations expect that number to grow. If your organization relies on Microsoft Entra ID, which virtually every modern enterprise does, you need a plan not just to resist these attacks, but to recover from them quickly and completely when one gets through.

In the past, “backup” was treated as an IT checkbox — something you did in the background and hoped you’d never need. That mindset doesn’t work in today’s reality. Ransomware, supply-chain incidents, and simple operational mistakes have turned recovery into a high-stakes, board-level expectation: Not just “can we restore,” but also “how fast can we restore, and how confident are we that the data is clean?” Read more

For years, ransomware incidents were interpreted through a familiar set of signals. Leaders identified the malware family, mapped it to the threat group, assessed the demand, and used those inputs to judge the scale of the event and how to respond. The approach was never precise, but it gave executives a practical shorthand for framing risk quickly. Read more

VeeamON 2026 is in the books, and the product keynote gave us a lot to unpack. Veeam Data Platform v13.1 ships this summer, touching nearly every part of the stack. Looking for an executive summary? Check out our overview of what V13.1 means for customers. For what it looks like under the hood, keep reading. Read more

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.

IT leaders are being asked to do something that can feel near impossible: keep the business always-on, scale fast, and move to multi cloud without losing control (all while trying to cut costs). Agentic AI is rapidly reshaping every single one of those priorities. The stakes are too high to be unprepared. Read more

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

Kubernetes has rapidly evolved from a platform for ‑cloud native experimentation into the backbone for some of the most critical workloads in the enterprise. Today, organizations run production databases, modern virtual machines (VMs), and increasingly AI‑driven applications side‑by‑side on Kubernetes — often across multiple clouds, regions, and operational domains.  Read more

Key takeaways

SMBs face enterprise-grade data risks with lean-team realities. The problem is not usually lack of backup. It is too much operational overhead, especially during Day 2 operations.“Effortless” protection does not mean fewer capabilities. It means the platform handles more of the heavy lifting through automation, policy-driven protection, verification, and built-in visibility.True simplicity is operational, not cosmetic. A product that looks easy to deploy but still requires constant monitoring, manual fixes, and restore guesswork is not reducing complexity.Automation matters most when it reduces ongoing work. Automated discovery, policy assignment, backup verification, and meaningful alerting help small teams stay protected without proving recoverability by hand.Recovery is the real test. SMBs need protection that supports fast, flexible, and clean recovery across file ... Read more
