Veeam Data Trust Report: 90% Are Confident In Recovery, But Only 28% Fully Restore After Ransomware
Veeam’s 2026 Data Trust and Resilience Report shows a sharp gap between perception and reality: 90% of security leaders say they’re confident in cyber‑recovery, yet only 28% fully restore data after a ransomware attack. As AI adoption increases data sprawl and risk, the report argues that organizations must move from “recovery confidence” to demonstrable data resilience—investing in immutable storage, automated recovery verification, and AI‑driven visibility into where data lives, who uses which AI tools, and how quickly clean copies can be proven and restored.
