AI agents introduce new complexities to cyber recovery, says Veeam exec

The cybersecurity landscape has evolved significantly over the past two decades, moving from recovery after hardware failures or natural disasters to dealing with sophisticated threats like ransomware and AI-driven attacks. Rick Vanover, Vice President of Product Strategy at Veeam Software, highlights that the increasing use of AI agents in organizations introduces a new layer of complexity to cyber recovery. These agents, capable of making decisions and taking actions autonomously, pose risks even when not compromised, as faulty instructions or unintended consequences can lead to widespread data corruption. Vanover emphasizes the need for more precise recovery methods that can identify and reverse specific agent-induced changes without affecting legitimate operations, requiring better visibility into agent access and actions. AI
