Veeam, working together with ITWeb, is inviting African data management, risk, and IT security decision makers to a complementary upcoming webinar where the software company will share strategies suited to African business challenges.

The company will also provide insights from a recent data resilience readiness survey, which it conducted jointly with ITWeb.

Veeam is a global software company that provides a data management platform offering backup, disaster recovery, and intelligent data management solutions for virtual, physical, cloud, and SaaS workloads.

The webinar, scheduled for October 15, comes as African businesses accelerate cloud adoption, and protecting SaaS data has become crucial for resilience, compliance, and operational continuity.

To this end, the upcoming webinar will focus on Veeam's SaaS data protection offering, which it says delivers "reliable backup and recovery, helping organisations maintain control of their data, meet regulatory requirements, and safeguard against cyber threats."

The company will also share key findings from an exclusive survey recently conducted 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.

Attendees will discover how these strategies transform backup from a passive safeguard, into a proactive security and resilience asset for the modern digital enterprise.

The webinar is intended for CIOs, CTOs, IT managers, backup/recovery data management, risk/IT security decision makers, cloud/SaaS administrators, risk and compliance leaders, as well as IT practitioners and SaaS app owners.

During this webinar, expert speakers such as Veeam's Brendan Widlake, regional sales director - Africa, and Ian Engelbrecht, senior manager, technical sales - Africa, will lead discussions.
