Why is cyber risk a business continuity issue?
Like World Backup Day, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has now been around for 22 years. In those 22 years, cyber risk has become worse than ever. Cybercrime is everywhere. Search any news outlet, and you’ll find a list of articles about companies, hospitals, schools, and local governments that have had major outages due to cyberattacks. Those same news outlets also have a list of articles about how AI is going to make things worse.
What the last 22 years have taught me is that organizations can’t completely shield themselves from cybercrime. Attackers have too much time, money, talent, and now AI at their disposal. It has also shown that just recovering data center components, like data, compute, and networks, isn’t enough. Organizations need to adopt minimum viable company strategies so they can quickly recover their most important services first. This may require a dramatic shift in how they think about disaster and cyber recovery, but without it, cybercriminals will continue to disrupt organizations’ most important services.
The foundation for this strategy is to use data center solutions that not only help organizations defend against cyberattacks, but also enable rapid, clean recovery of applications and data, not just components. Everpure and Veeam are working together to help customers achieve these outcomes. Together, Everpure Fusion™, Pure1®, and Veeam connect fleet-wide storage visibility, anomaly awareness, backup validation, and trusted recovery workflows.
If you haven’t looked at Everpure and Veeam lately, you may think of them as storage and backup companies, and you wouldn’t be wrong. What is different is that both companies are focused on trusted, resilient systems that provide the foundation for a minimum viable company strategy.
How do Veeam and Everpure work together to recover from ransomware?
To provide trusted and resilient systems, Everpure and Veeam focus on helping organizations detect, defend against, and recover from malware. Each company brings capabilities that help organizations rapidly recover the services required to operate as a minimum viable company. But together, with deep integration and strong synergy, is where the real value is realized. That joint value comes from turning storage-layer intelligence into actionable recovery context inside Veeam, helping teams identify risk earlier and recover from cleaner, more trusted restore points.
Everpure and Veeam have extensive cyber resilience capabilities across detection, protection, and recovery.
What protects backups from ransomware?
The first step for cyber resilience is protecting the storage and backup infrastructure. Here are some of the key capabilities provided by Everpure and Veeam:

Finally, cyber resilience requires strong malware detection capabilities:
What does it take to restore the business, not just the data?
Cybersecurity Awareness Month reminds us that awareness matters. But awareness alone won’t help keep your organization running when cybercriminals inevitably break in. The reality is that malware and now AI-powered attacks are no longer rare events. They’re risks that must be planned for in advance.
That means that organizations need to move beyond “Can we restore our data?” to “Can we restore the business?” Recovering individual components won’t cut it when customers, employees, patients, students, or citizens are waiting for critical services to come back online. Organizations need a clear minimum viable company strategy to identify the services that matter most, understand their dependencies, and build a recovery plan that brings those services back rapidly, cleanly, and confidently.
This is where Everpure and Veeam are better together. Everpure provides the trusted, resilient data foundation—including indelible storage protection, Pure1 intelligence, and Everpure Fusion-powered fleet-wide control—while Veeam delivers proven data protection, recovery orchestration, and cyber resilience capabilities. Individually, both help organizations defend against disruption. Together, they create a stronger foundation for detecting threats, protecting clean recovery points, validating recoverability, and rapidly restoring mission-critical applications.
Attacks can’t always be prevented. The goal is to make sure cybercriminals do not get to determine the outcome of a cyberattack. With the right strategy, the right architecture, and the right partnership between Everpure and Veeam, organizations can shift from reactive recovery to resilient operations—recovering the most important services with minimal downtime and keeping the business moving even in a worst-case scenario.
