In this interview, Amin Hanafir, Sales Director for Middle East and CIS at Veeam, discusses how the Veeam Data Platform helps organisations achieve cyber-resilience and recover from ransomware attacks. The interview highlights the recent launch of Agent Commander, which gives enterprises control over AI agents, and explains how the acquisition of Securiti AI strengthens Veeam’ s portfolio for data security and compliance. The interview covers Veeam Data Cloud adoption in the region, the company’ s partner ecosystem and how organisations can safely adopt AI at scale while maintaining data protection across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

As organisations across the region double down on cyber-resilience and ransomware recovery, how does the Veeam Data Platform help customers bounce back?

When we examine the architecture of true cyber-resilience, the objective is clear: enabling organisations to recover with both velocity and absolute certainty. It is a matter of ensuring that data remains untainted, fortified and primed to restore commercial momentum at a moment’ s notice. Through the Veeam Data Platform, enterprises are equipped to execute accelerated recovery protocols following a critical disruption, whether that stems from a targeted ransomware campaign or a systemic infrastructure outage.

This level of market trust is sustained through a commitment to continuous innovation. A definitive example of this is the recent unveiling of Agent Commander, a sophisticated solution designed to empower the enterprise with the requisite oversight to govern AI agents effectively. By establishing these guardrails, we ensure that emerging technologies remain an asset rather than an unmanaged risk.

By securing the data layer, we provide organisations with the peace of mind to focus on strategic evolution and future growth. The goal is to move beyond the anxieties of historical breaches or potential threats, allowing leadership to focus squarely on what lies ahead.

Many enterprises are accelerating AI initiatives while tightening security controls. How is Veeam helping customers adopt‘ safe AI at scale’? What role does data resilience play in ensuring AI workloads remain protected, portable, and recoverable across hybrid and multi cloud environments?

The ubiquity of Artificial Intelligence has created a modern paradox: while the drive for rapid deployment is universal, it must be balanced against the absolute necessity of robust security protocols. This intersection is where Veeam’ s strategic value becomes most apparent. By integrating Securiti AI into our ecosystem, we have established a sophisticated, unified platform that bridges
