Guardrails don't slow innovation down. They keep it from blowing up. In this episode of Wake Up, the podcast by Veeam, host Rick Vanover sits down with Emilee Tellez, Field CTO at Veeam, for a candid look at what organizations are getting right - and dangerously wrong - as they race to deploy AI at scale. Together they explore why explainability is the foundation of AI trust, what three very different risk tolerances at one table reveal about where the industry is headed, and why people and process will always outrun technology without the right guardrails in place. Veeam is the Data and AI Trust Company, combining data protection, security, and AI to help organizations keep their data available, trusted, and recoverable across every environment. With smart protection, dependable threat detection, and trusted cyber extortion readiness and response, Veeam ensures confidence before, during, and after cyber events. #Veeam #dataresilience #WakeUpPodcast #cybersecurity #ArtificialIntelligence #dataprotection #AgenticAI Visit the Veeam Thought Leadership Hub to see how resilience leads the way:
