From The Field at VeeamON Sydney 2026 | John Jester & Rehan Jalil on Why Safe AI Starts With Your Data
byKBI.Media

Recorded for VeeamON Sydney 2026, the one-day Sydney stop of Veeam’s global tour, held at Ilumina on 30 July. With the day split into resilience and security tracks, this ‘From The Field’ episode brings together two Veeam leaders on what it takes to deploy AI safely.

Chief Revenue Officer, John Jester, explains why resilience is now a board conversation, and how AI drift and over-permissioned agents end up corrupting data. He also covers how precision recovery lets companies undo an agent’s mistakes without rolling back their whole data estate.

President of Products and Technology, Rehan Jalil, looks at why companies need to understand their data before AI touches it, and how to manage the flood of disposable AI-generated data. He also explains why resilience becomes the last line of defence as frontier models and agent swarms make attacks faster.

Key topics: agentic AI, AI governance, AI drift, precision recovery, over-permissioned agents, the data and AI trust layer, data hygiene, obsolete data, identity and access controls, data retention, cyber resilience, frontier model threats.

Taming the Gallop on Rising Cybersecurity Risk

Taming the Gallop on Rising Cybersecurity Risk

By Kavya Shastry | Artificial Intelligence, Leadership, Risk Management, Security Operations
Introduction As the Lunar New Year ushers in a new cycle of The Horse, we can look to the traits of the traditional Chinese zodiac, which provide an admirable framework for cybersecurity objectives. Horses are commonly known for unbridled speed, agility, and making forward strides. These aren't just symbolic of cyber resilience: they are the new requirements for digital survival. With AI and automation in play the digital world is moving at a gallop. Attacks are no longer slow, manual, or opportunistic. They are continuous, adaptive, and ...

AI Agent Growth Is Challenging Traditional Identity Governance

Australian organisations are deploying hundreds of agents each, but can they be managed. Introduction A proliferation of AI agents in Australian organisations is happening right now. The challenge is whether or not organisations are in a position to manage the growth, along with the increasing amount of operational workload that agents are taking on. Research by Deloitte shows that almost 7 in 10 Australian...

Pacing the Frontier Starts Inside Your Own Organisation

In the space of a week in September, two events took a debate usually confined to AI research circles into broader society. First, a researcher who had spent three years training AI models at OpenAI and then Anthropic resigned publicly. He warned that neither company was acting responsibly and that competition between the labs was taking priority over safety. Days later, Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei...

The Hybrid Moment Is Here – and the Data Layer Is Becoming the Strategy

Talk to enterprise leaders today and the pattern is clear. They are being asked to modernize infrastructure, support AI growth, strengthen cyber resilience, and control costs, often all at the same time. Several forces are reshaping enterprise infrastructure all at once. AI adoption is speeding up. Modernization timelines are shrinking. Cost pressure and resilience requirements keep rising across more distributed...

AI Agents Are Becoming Digital Employees. but Who Is Accountable for Their Actions?

Imagine an AI agent tasked with managing a company's customer enquiries. It can access customer records, update support tickets, and send responses without waiting for a human to approve every step.  Most of the time, it works exactly as intended. Requests are handled faster, employees spend less time on repetitive tasks, and customers receive quicker responses.  But what happens when the agent makes a decision it...

The AI Bystander Effect: When Every Agent Assumes Another Is in Control Could Be the Reason Your AI System Fails

What Happens When Every AI Agent Assumes Another One Has Things Under Control? In human groups, the “Bystander Effect” occurs when responsibility becomes so diffused that nobody acts. Enterprises adopting multi-agent AI face a similar risk: when ownership is unclear and coordination breaks down between agents, the system can fail even when each agent appears to be working as designed. This is the AI Bystander...

Why AI Productivity and Security No Longer Have to Compete

From Blocking AI to Enabling IT Safely When ChatGPT became publicly available in late 2022, many organisations responded to generative AI in the simplest way they could: blocking it. At the time, that reaction made sense as public AI tools were new, companies had limited visibility into what employees were sharing, and the risks around confidential information, privacy and intellectual property were still unclear....

Why Buying an Approved AI Tool Doesn’t Solve Shadow AI

Enterprise AI adoption often starts with a simple assumption: buy an approved AI tool, give employees access to it, and the main security and governance risks are largely under control. But one of Aona’s early enterprise pilots showed just how far that assumption can be from reality. When Approved AI Tools Are Not the Tools Employees Use The gap between the AI tools organisations buys and the tools employees...

Is Your Data Ready for Autonomous AI Agents?

Enterprise leaders are getting used to AI that helps people do their jobs better: reading documents, surfacing patterns in data, drafting first versions of things that humans then refine. These tools work alongside people, and a person still reviews the output before anything big happens. What is arriving now is different in kind, not just in degree. Agentic AI does not need to wait for human review before it acts....

AI Is Moving Fast. Can Australian Businesses Keep up Responsibly?

As some of technology’s leading voices raise concerns about whether AI is advancing too quickly for people to control, businesses are understandably confused. Until now, the message has been to move quickly, experiment, adopt and find practical ways to put AI to work. But these calls for concern don’t necessarily mean the right answer is to put the brakes on AI. Instead, businesses have a responsibility to ensure...

Breaking the Silos – Hackers Shouldn’t Be the Only Ones Working Together

It's autumn 2026, which means year-end conferences are underway, making the most of the season's remaining good weather.  Capping that off in Glasgow is the MAST 2026 Focus Forum. MAST is a twenty-year-old conference forum dedicated to identifying threats and emerging innovations in maritime, air, and space technology domains. While this conference typically caters to national security professionals, the past...

Training and Awareness Is Not a Security Outcome

Introduction Most Australian organisations are now diligent with cyber security training.  Last year, 87 per cent of Australian government entities completed annual cyber security training. The same report found that 22 per cent reached Maturity Level 2 under the Essential Eight, up from 15 per cent in the previous year. The two figures measure different parts of cyber preparedness, but together they show that...

Amperity Highlights Trusted Customer Context as Critical to Managing Agentic AI Risk

Agentic AI is moving quickly across Asia Pacific. BCG found that 77% of workers say their businesses are experimenting with or deploying autonomous agents, yet only 33% understand them well. Deloitte expects adoption among the region’s consumer businesses to rise from 29% to 76% within two years. That gap matters because agents are beginning to do more than generate content or recommend a next step. They can update...

The Biggest AI Risk for Business Is Not the Technology – It’s Control

As artificial intelligence moves from experimental technology to an increasingly permanent feature of the workplace, Australian businesses face a security problem that has received less attention than AI’s impact on jobs: who controls what these systems can access and disclose? This concern is certainly not hypothetical. Organisations are rapidly adopting AI tools under pressure from boards and executives seeking...

Looking for Cyber Risk in the Wrong Places

IntroductionrnCyber risk hasnu2019t just grown. Itu2019s moved. And our conversation needs to shift. While most organisations are securing the right things, theyu2019re doing so in the wrong place. For years, cybersecurity has been built around a simple idea: protect the system, reduce the risk. This logic made sense when most of the value and exposure sat inside those systems - but it is no longer the...

Security Leaders Must Prepare for Likely Threats, Not Sensationalized Agentic Attacks

AI Attacks May Sound Scary, but Security Teams Should Focus Less on Hype and More on the Vulnerabilities Attackers Are Most Likely to Exploit. A malicious dataset exploits code-execution paths in a remote-code dataset loader and a dataset configuration before compromising access credentials to move laterally through the target network. A frontier AI model publishes a malicious Python package to a public PyPI...

Why Security Leaders Must Become AI Enablers and Not Gatekeepers

For much of the past decade, the Chief Information Security Officer has been judged on one primary outcome: preventing cyber attacks from happening on their networks. Success meant reducing risk, avoiding breaches, and ensuring compliance, even if that occasionally meant slowing down ambitious technology projects. That definition of the role is now being challenged by artificial intelligence. Across Australian...

The Next Data Breach Might Not Start With a Hacker. IT Might Start With an Everyday Task

Introduction When we think about data breaches, we tend to imagine sophisticated cyberattacks: hackers exploiting vulnerabilities, stolen credentials or ransomware bringing entire systems to a halt. These threats are real, and organisations have invested heavily in defending against them. But not every data exposure begins with someone trying to break into a network. Sometimes, it begins with an employee doing...
