LIVE WEBINAR
Data Resilience for
Africa’s Digital Leaders
15 October 2025 I Online
Learn how to power your organisation’s resilience
with today’s smartest backup
As African enterprises accelerate cloud adoption, protecting SaaS data has become critical for resilience, compliance, and business continuity. This session will zone in on how Veeam’s SaaS data protection offering delivers reliable backup and recovery, helping organisations maintain control of their data, meet regulatory requirements and safeguard against cyber threats. It will also share key findings from an exclusive survey recently conducted by Veeam in partnership with ITWeb, offering fresh insights into how African businesses are approaching SaaS data protection in today’s digital landscape.
Among other equally important findings, the survey revealed that the vast majority of respondents already use backup data as an additional line of defence and they also perform regular security assessments on backup infrastructure to uncover vulnerabilities. As an attendee you will discover how these practices transform backup from a passive safeguard, into a proactive security and resilience asset for the modern digital enterprise.
During this webinar, industry experts such as Veeam’s Brendan Widlake, Regional Sales Director - Africa, Veeam and Ian Engelbrecht, Sr. Manager, Technical Sales - Africa, Veeam, will share strategies tailored to African business challenges as well as unpack insights from a recent data resilience readiness survey that was conducted by Veeam in partnership with ITWeb.
Join us to find out more in-depth insights from the data resilience readiness survey such as:
How immutable backups protect clean copies of data from ransomware and accidental deletion.
Why threat scanning and zero-trust architecture transform backup into an active defence.
How threat scanning of backup data adds an active layer to your cyber defence strategy.
