Data Security built around business resilience

Cyber Security is not failing because organisations lack technology. Complexity, fragmented tooling and disconnected strategies are making it difficult to understand risk, protect critical data and recover cleanly when disruption occurs.

CDW and Veeam connect Data Security to the wider outcomes that matter to your organisation:

  • Secure Business Strategy

    Align Data Security, cyber risk and recovery priorities to your business strategy, cloud adoption, transformation plans, compliance requirements and AI ambitions.

  • Operational Excellence

    Simplify your Data Security environment, improve visibility, reduce fragmented tooling and make backup and recovery easier to manage across hybrid platforms.

  • Cyber Resilience

    Protect critical data, identify potential compromise, validate clean recovery and restore essential operations with greater speed and confidence.

This approach supports CDW's broader Security model, which focuses on aligning security to business priorities, improving operational effectiveness and strengthening the ability to withstand, respond to and recover from cyber incidents.

Move beyond backup to continuous Data Security

Traditional backup alone is no longer enough. Organisations need an integrated approach that helps them understand what matters, secure it against modern threats and continuously prove that recovery will work when needed.

  • Discover

    Understand where critical data, applications, identities and dependencies sit across your environment. Gain clearer visibility of potential gaps, risk and operational impact.

  • Protect

    Apply resilient controls across physical, virtual, cloud and SaaS workloads, including immutable copies, encryption, access controls and Zero Trust principles.

  • Detect

    Use monitoring, analytics, threat visibility and anomaly detection to identify suspicious activity and potential compromise earlier.

  • Recover

    Restore clean, trusted data and critical services following ransomware, accidental deletion, outages or other disruption.

  • Assure

    Test recovery readiness, validate outcomes and continually improve your organisation’s resilience over time.

Veeam brings together backup, recovery, monitoring, threat detection and data intelligence capabilities across hybrid environments, while CDW helps align the technology to the organisation's wider architecture, operational requirements and business priorities.

Strengthen resilience across your entire data estate

Protect hybrid and multi-cloud workloads

Data now sits across on-premises infrastructure, multiple clouds, virtual environments, SaaS applications and containerised platforms. Veeam helps maintain consistent security and recoverability as workloads move or platforms change.

CDW helps organisations determine the right workload and platform strategy, while Veeam enables data portability and cross-platform recovery. This gives you greater freedom to migrate, modernise or diversify your infrastructure without creating gaps in Data Security.

Build confidence in cyber recovery

Recovery plans designed for traditional outages may not withstand a targeted cyberattack. Organisations need to know that their recovery data is secure, clean and available, and that essential operations can be restored within a timeframe the business can tolerate.

Veeam supports this through capabilities including immutable storage, threat detection, instant recovery, recovery orchestration and isolated recovery validation. CDW brings the architecture, advisory and implementation expertise needed to integrate these capabilities into a practical cyber resilience strategy.

Secure Microsoft 365 and SaaS data

Microsoft 365 and other SaaS platforms are central to day-to-day business, but organisations still need a clear strategy for securing and recovering the data held within them.

Veeam Data Cloud provides SaaS-native backup and recovery capabilities for services including Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Salesforce and Azure. CDW can help you assess your current approach, identify recovery gaps and establish a Data Security strategy aligned to your business and compliance needs.

Support regulatory and governance requirements

Regulatory expectations increasingly require organisations to demonstrate how critical data is secured, retained and recovered. Veeam provides encryption, immutability, retention and audit capabilities, while CDW helps align these controls to relevant governance and regulatory frameworks, including UK GDPR, DORA and NIS2.

Establish trusted data foundations for AI

AI outcomes depend on data that is visible, governed, secure and trusted. If organisations cannot understand what data they hold, where it resides or how it is managed, AI initiatives can introduce additional risk rather than value.

Veeam's expanding data classification, Data Security Posture Management and governance capabilities can help organisations understand and manage their data estate. Combined with CDW's AI and Security expertise, this creates a stronger foundation for responsible AI adoption.
