The Threat Surface Isn't Your Network. It's Agents Acting on Your Data
Veeam, Wednesday, August 5th, 2026
Veeam argues the real threat surface is now agents acting on your data, not the network.
Veeam argues that AI has flipped the economics of intrusion in the attacker's favor.
Dwell time, the gap between a breach and the moment someone notices it, has fallen from weeks to minutes.
Cyber threats now move at machine speed and do not pause for human intervention. Veeam contends the meaningful threat surface has shifted from the network perimeter to agents acting directly on data.
