MICTS MS '26 - Modern Data Protection & Resilience with Veeam Data Platform

This masterclass is designed to give participants a practical and technical understanding of how the Veeam Data Platform (Veeam Backup & Replication) enables organizations to protect, recover, and secure their data in today’s increasingly complex IT environments. As cyber threats, ransomware attacks, and unplanned outages continue to rise, traditional backup methods are no longer enough. This session will explore how modern data protection strategies help organizations stay resilient, compliant, and prepared for the unexpected. What to Expect Modern Data Protection Challenges Participants will gain insight into the evolving data protection landscape, including the growing risks of ransomware, accidental data loss, insider threats, and system downtime. The session will highlight why legacy backup approaches fall short and why organizations must adopt modern, resilient data protection strategies. Veeam Data Platform Architecture & Core Capabilities This section introduces the Veeam Data Platform and its core components, including backup and replication, immutable storage, monitoring, analytics, and recovery orchestration. Participants will understand how these capabilities work together to deliver secure, reliable, and scalable data protection across on-premises, virtual, and cloud environments. -Best Practices for Secure Backup & Recovery The masterclass will provide practical guidance on designing and implementing effective backup strategies for: • On-premises, virtualized, and cloud workloads • Ransomware-resilient architectures using immutability, air-gapping, and zero-trust principles • Meeting compliance, governance, and data retention requirements
