On this episode of Technogram by Redington, Brendan Widlake, Regional Director & Country Manager for Africa at Veeam, explores why successful AI starts with trusted data. He discusses the Data and AI Trust Maturity Model – developed with McKinsey, Microsoft, and Splunk – and explains how organizations can assess the health of their data and infrastructure before scaling AI initiatives. Key Takeaways:

• AI is only as good as the data behind it. Without secure, trusted, and well-governed data, AI cannot deliver meaningful outcomes.

• Cyber resilience is no longer about preventing every attack—it's about being prepared to recover quickly when one happens.

• Cybersecurity is not a one-time investment. It requires continuous learning, adaptation, and resilience to stay ahead of evolving threats.
