A Firsthand Look at the Future of Backup and Recovery
VeeamON 2025 served as a showcase for what the future of data protection looks like. For CyberFortress, it reinforced that we are on the right path by evolving from backup to full-spectrum data resilience. Our team had several technical attendees at the event, including our CEO, and their insights shaped a clear narrative: resilience, intelligence, and simplicity are defining the next generation of backup and recovery strategies.
Key Themes from VeeamON 2025
From Backup to Business Continuity
Veeam continues to move beyond traditional software licensing into a platform strategy that empowers VCSPs (Veeam Cloud & Service Providers). The shift was evident in the keynote announcements, particularly Veeam Data Cloud, which centralizes backup, replication, and recovery management. With support for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, businesses can now build highly resilient strategies that stretch across all workloads.
High Availability and V13 Innovations
One of the most impactful topics was Veeam v13. Key features like high availability and universal continuous data protection (CDP) support align directly with our goals at CyberFortress. These enhancements will allow us to ensure minimal downtime and tighter SLAs for BaaS and DRaaS customers.
Intelligence Through AI and Automation
AI was another highlight of the show. Veeam’s AI-powered search and summary features in Veeam Data Cloud improve how data is indexed and restored. For customers, this means faster, more efficient recovery. Veeam Threat Hunter also impressed by using AI to identify risks before they escalate, offering a new level of defense against ransomware.
Reinforcing CyberFortress’s Strategic Alignment
What stood out most was how closely Veeam’s roadmap mirrors our own. From universal CDP and immutable backups to DRMM and AI-based threat detection, we are already delivering on many of the principles Veeam is advocating. The release of Day 1 VCSP support for SaaS workloads in VDC means we’ll be first in line to offer these protections to customers. This was one of our key insights from VeeamON 2025.
Realigning Backup Around Resilience
CyberFortress is doing more than simply layering on services. We are fully invested in guiding our customers through the Data Resilience Maturity Model (DRMM), helping them evolve from tactical backups to resilient architectures. With the Veeam v13 innovations, including automatic security updates for Linux appliances and enhanced immutable storage, our customers gain a more proactive, secure foundation for their backup environments.
Full-Service Advantage
We also help customers streamline protection across their full infrastructure:
Everything is secured through a managed service framework that simplifies management and accelerates recovery.
Insights from VeeamON 2025: Self-Managed Veeam Isn’t Enough Anymore

- 24/7 monitoring and alerting
- Guided DR planning and testing
- Transparent pricing
- Security-first architecture
- Integrated universal CDP and AI-powered protection
Five Takeaways for Your Backup and Recovery Strategy in 2025

What’s Next for CyberFortress Customers
CyberFortress customers can expect rapid adoption of Veeam’s newest features. We’re already developing enhanced DRaaS workflows powered by universal CDP and expanding support for SaaS backup the moment Veeam’s platform releases become available. Our goal is to simplify protection while offering customers unmatched recovery performance, even across complex multi-cloud setups.
And yes, the VeeamON giveaways like our partner Object First, OOTBI plushies and Lego kits were fun. But what was more exciting was the validation that CyberFortress is leading the way in helping businesses build data resilience for 2025 and beyond.
