Wake Up by Veeam · 2026-04-30 · 27 min
Knowing you have backups is not the same as knowing you can recover. In this episode of Wake Up, the podcast by Veeam, host Rick Vanover speaks with Allen Downs, Vice President of Incident Recovery at Kyndryl, about what organizations get dangerously wrong when it comes to resilience - and what it takes to truly be ready when everything goes down. Together they explore why visibility and accountability gaps are the real blind spots in most recovery plans, what happens when your production environment becomes a crime scene, and why the organizations that get resilience right don't just survive incidents - they outperform their competition.
