From Ransomware To Resilience: Unifying Data Security And AI

Interested in being a guest? Email us at [email protected]’re joined by **Anand Eswaran**, CEO of **Veeam Software**, and **Rehan Jalil**, CEO of **Securiti AI**, following Veeam’s bold acquisition of Securiti—a move that fuses data protection, security, and AI governance into one platform. Together, they unpack why GPUs alone can’t fix untrusted data and why 80–90% of enterprise AI projects fail, exploring how unifying data security and resilience lays the groundwork for AI that’s safe, compliant, and genuinely useful.GPUs don’t fix untrusted data. We dig into why 80–90% of enterprise AI projects falter and how bringing data security and data resilience together creates the foundation for AI that’s safe, compliant, and actually useful. Our guests break down a data command graph that maps files, tables, permissions, sensitivity, and regulations across on-prem, cloud, SaaS, and modern warehouses, then uses that context to enforce the right controls and power rapid recovery.We explore how DSPM fits inside a larger platform that understands data relationships, flags toxic connections, and automates remediation. From ransomware and exfiltration to model poisoning, the graph approach speeds both prevention and incident response. You’ll hear how to prioritize the crown jewels, set dynamic resilience policies, and hit aggressive RPO/RTO targets so the business stays online. We also dive into safe AI enablement: find the sensitive “needles,” mask or tokenize them, and let the “haystack” fuel conversational search and agents without leaking secrets.The conversation goes further into operational reality: low-friction adoption for existing environments, visualizing which datasets train which models, and rolling back AI pipelines with precision when bad data slips through. We talk timelines for integrating the platforms and why this unified view unlocks better security, stronger governance, and smarter storage tiering. If you’re ready to raise AI success rates, reduce blast radius, and move faster with confidence, this one lays out the playbook.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a teammate who owns AI risk, and leave a quick review telling us which challenge you want solved next.---Would you like me to format it as a LinkedIn or YouTube post (optimized for engagement and readability on those platforms)?Everyday AI: Your daily guide to grown with Generative AICan't keep up with AI?
