Solutions Review editors will curate vendor product news, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital funding, talent acquisition, and other noteworthy storage and data protection news items.<\/p>\n For early access to all the expert insights published on Solutions Review<\/em>, join Insight Jam<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/span>, a community dedicated to enabling the human conversation on AI.<\/p>\n Acronis \u2013 Uses Data Privacy Day To Underscore That Backup Is Now A Compliance Control<\/strong><\/p>\n Acronis is leaning into Data Privacy Day to make a point many CISOs and DPOs are finally accepting: backup and DR are now explicitly part of privacy compliance. By tying its secure backup, encryption, access controls, and integrated cyber-protection story to regimes like GDPR, HIPAA, GLBA, NIS2, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act, Acronis is pitching backup as not just a resilience play, but a documented control regulators expect to see.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Acronis on Data Privacy Day 2026<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Cohesity \u2013 Pushes Automated Disaster Recovery As Part Of A Unified Cyber-Resilience Fabric<\/strong><\/p>\n Cohesity is positioning DR less as \u201csecondary site failover\u201d and more as a tightly integrated layer of its cyber-resilience platform. Its DR solution promises near-zero downtime and no data loss by combining unified backup, automated failover orchestration, and ransomware-aware recovery across on-prem and cloud, so DR tests and runbooks stop living in binders and start living in the platform itself.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Cohesity disaster recovery solutions<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Druva \u2013 Frames Phished Identity And Ransomware As A Clean-Recovery Problem, Not Just A Backup Problem<\/strong><\/p>\n Druva is drawing a straight line between identity, ransomware, and recovery with its \u201cphished identity to clean recovery\u201d guidance. The company argues that modern attacks are as much about compromised accounts and lateral movement as they are about encrypted data, so clean recovery now requires identity-aware containment, immutable backups, anomaly detection, and orchestrated restoration that can prove the recovered environment is uncompromised.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Druva vs. HYCU: From phished identity to clean recovery<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Druva \u2013 Data Resiliency Cloud Aims To Make BUDR, Governance, And Analytics Share One SaaS Control Plane<\/strong><\/p>\n Druva\u2019s\u00a0Data Resiliency Cloud\u00a0continues to be its answer to fragmented backup estates spread across SaaS, cloud, and on-prem. CTO Stephen Manley has been emphasizing how Druva\u2019s cloud-native architecture keeps backup data secure, accessible, and increasingly actionable \u2014 turning historically \u201ccold\u201d data into a surface for threat hunting, compliance reporting, and even AI\/analytics, all without having to stand up separate copy-data platforms.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Unveiling the Data Resiliency Cloud<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n HYCU \u2013 aiR Makes Backup A First-Class Source For AI-Assisted Risk And Compliance Analytics<\/strong><\/p>\n HYCU\u2019s\u00a0aiR (AI Resilience)\u00a0feature is a textbook example of how backup is being reimagined for the agentic era. By letting teams use natural-language queries and specialized agents over backup data from dozens of SaaS and cloud services, aiR turns an immutable copy into a live intelligence layer for spotting insider risk, data exfiltration, identity drift, and AI agent misbehavior \u2014 without hitting production systems during an incident.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0HYCU aiR launch<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Logically \u2013 World Backup Day 2026: Cyber Resilience Now Defines Whether Your Backups Actually Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n Logically is using World Backup Day to hammer home a simple truth: if your backup strategy can\u2019t support operations during an\u00a0active\u00a0cyberattack, it\u2019s out of date. Their guidance focuses on immutable backups, continuous scanning, cleanroom recovery environments, recovery orchestration, segmented recovery networks, and regular testing \u2014 treating backup as a living cyber-resilience capability rather than a compliance checkbox.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0World Backup Day 2026: Why cyber resilience now defines modern backup<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Nutanix \u2013 Recovery And Resilience Are Becoming Native To The Hybrid Cloud Stack, Not Bolted On<\/strong><\/p>\n Nutanix continues to push the idea that resilience should be built directly into the hybrid cloud operating model rather than layered on afterward, with disaster recovery, data protection, and application mobility increasingly managed as native platform functions. That matters because enterprises are tired of stitching together separate backup, replication, and failover tools for each environment; the winning model now is policy-driven recovery that follows apps and data wherever they run.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Nutanix disaster recovery and resilience<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Qumulo \u2013 File Data Protection Is Quietly Becoming A First-Class AI And Compliance Issue<\/strong><\/p>\n Qumulo sits at the center of a problem more enterprises are finally waking up to: unstructured file data is now both a primary AI input and a primary compliance liability. As organizations operationalize AI on top of file-heavy estates, the ability to secure, govern, replicate, and recover large-scale file data with clear policy controls is becoming a core data protection requirement, not a storage afterthought.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Data protection strategies for 2026<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Veeam \u2013 DataAI Command Platform Turns Data Protection Into A Unified Trust Fabric For Agents And Humans<\/strong><\/p>\n Veeam\u2019s\u00a0DataAI Command Platform\u00a0is its clearest statement yet that backup, security, governance, and privacy now belong on one plane. With the DataAI Command Graph (300+ connectors), DataAI Security (DSPM plus identity intelligence), and DataAI Governance enforcing zero-trust policies at the data source, Veeam is building an infrastructure where clean, policy-compliant data is what gets restored and what AI agents are allowed to see.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Veeam DataAI Command Platform<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Veeam \u2013 New Data And AI Trust Maturity Model Exposes How Thin Many \u201cResilience\u201d Claims Really Are<\/strong><\/p>\n Veeam\u2019s\u00a0Data and AI Trust Maturity Model\u00a0is a reality check for organizations that think having backups equals having resilience. Based on research showing 80% of leaders believe they can scale AI safely but only a third can prove it, the model scores organizations across 12 dimensions \u2014 from immutable storage and segmented recovery to governance and evidence-based testing \u2014 turning \u201cwe\u2019re resilient\u201d into something boards and regulators can actually audit.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Veeam Data and AI Trust Maturity Model<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Veeam \u2013 Data Platform v13.1 And DataAI Resilience Module Tie Backup Ops Directly To Zero-Trust Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n Veeam Data Platform v13.1, previewed at VeeamON New York, adds 70+ features plus a\u00a0DataAI Resilience Module\u00a0designed to operationalize zero-trust recovery across large estates. The focus is on simplifying multi-team operations, aligning backup and DR to compliance requirements, and using more intelligence and automation to identify clean restore points and orchestrate recoveries \u2014 so getting back online after an attack is faster, more predictable, and more defensible.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Veeam previews new Data Platform release<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n World-At-Large \u2013 2026 Data Protection Playbooks All Converge On The Same Pattern: Zero Trust, Immutable Backups, And Tested Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n If you zoom out across this year\u2019s research and guidance \u2014 from Hyperproof\u2019s 2026 data protection strategies to law-firm briefings on privacy laws and ransomware resilience \u2014 the pattern is consistent. Modern data protection now assumes: (1) identity-centric zero trust for every access, (2) disciplined, immutable, and segmented backups, (3) AI-assisted monitoring and compliance automation, and (4) regularly tested, business-aligned recovery plans that regulators can see on paper and executives can actually execute under pressure.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Data protection strategies for 2026<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0World Backup Day: data resilience and trust<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Solutions Review<\/em> is Getting Set to Host Object First for the Spotlight event: Assume Breach, Prepare for Recovery on May 21<\/strong><\/p>\n For this Solutions Spotlight event, the Solutions Review team has partnered with Object First, an on-premises backup storage for Veeam customers. In the hour-long webinar, the company\u2019s Senior Director of Solutions Marketing will delve into the latest research and trends around data resilience, provide an example of a real-life ransomware attack, share practical steps for preparing for a worst-case scenario, and use a live product demo to showcase how Object First can help teams protect themselves.<\/p>\n Read on Solutions Review<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Information Gain Series: The SaaS Data Protection Problem Most Organizations Don’t Know They Have<\/strong><\/p>\n Most IT leaders feel reasonably confident about their\u00a0data protection posture<\/a>. They have backup strategies for virtual machines, immutable storage for critical systems, and recovery playbooks that have been tested and refined over the years. What many of them haven\u2019t fully reckoned with is that a tremendous amount of corporate data now lives entirely outside those systems, spread across hundreds of SaaS applications that most organizations haven\u2019t mapped, let alone protected.<\/p>\n Read on Solutions Review<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Information Gain Series: AI Governance in Cybersecurity Has a Leadership Problem<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the central argument that emerged from a recent episode of\u00a0The Cyber Circuit<\/em>\u00a0podcast on Insight Jam<\/a>, featuring former CISO\u00a0Manju Mude<\/a>\u00a0and cybersecurity advisor\u00a0Michael Morgenstern<\/a>. The conversation is worth your time. But the conclusions it surfaces point to a broader structural problem that deserves sustained editorial attention.<\/p>\n Read on Solutions Review<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Contributor Series: Redefining Risk in an Era of Geopolitical Cyber Threats<\/strong><\/p>\n In a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, this is a reality we increasingly find businesses coming up against. As it stands, most enterprise risk models were built around ransomware and data theft and fail to account for that kind of impact. As this trend spreads, more businesses are reframing their response to threats.<\/p>\n Read on Insight Jam<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n –<\/p>\n Solutions Review <\/i>Surpasses 250K on YouTube to Power Unmatched Media Momentum in Enterprise Tech & the Human Impact of AI<\/b><\/p>\n Solutions Review<\/em>\u00a0has officially surpassed\u00a0250,000 subscribers on YouTube<\/a><\/strong>, a milestone that\u2019s about more than just the number.
