Veeam: AI Agents Demand Stronger Data Resilience

As AI agents expand enterprise attack surfaces, cybersecurity teams are shifting focus from breach prevention to rapid recovery. Veeam's Dave Russell argues resilience means preparing for inevitable failures, not just trying to stop every threat. Russell warns that poor data hygiene undermines AI outcomes, with redundant or inaccurate data leading agents to wrong conclusions. He calls for holistic platform approaches over isolated tools, and predicts data quality mandates will become standard as organizations move from theoretical AI discussions to real-world deployment challenges.
