AI-Powered Cyber Resilience Solutions

Veritas introduced self-defending data protection functionality, which allows Veritas NetBackup and Veritas Alta Data Protection to monitor and defend against threats from compromised data protection user credentials. Veritas also announced a generative AI-powered copilot to act as a sidekick in the fight against cybercrime as well as to simplify other operational tasks. https://vrt.as/4bcZcQk
