Knowing where your data is stored is not the same as knowing where your data is safe.

In this episode of Wake Up, the podcast by Veeam, host Rick Vanover speaks with Jan De Clercq, CTO for Cyber Services at HPE, about why data sovereignty is far more complex than most organizations realize — and why the basics of cyber resilience still trip up even the most sophisticated enterprises.

Together they explore why GRC is a continuous discipline, not a checkbox, how third-party risk quietly becomes the biggest gap in most security programs, and why it's better to suffer during a drill than during a real incident.

Identity creates structure. But structure shouldn't be confused with certainty.

In this episode of Wake Up, the podcast by Veeam, host Rick Vanover speaks with Greg Wetmore, Head of Product Development for Digital Security at Entrust, about why non-human identities have quietly become one of the biggest blind spots in enterprise security — and what organizations need to do before that catches up with them.
