New Veeam Data Trust and Resilience Report finds 90% of security leaders believe they can recover quickly but only 28% fully restore data after a ransomware attack
Veeam Software, a data and AI trust company, released the Data Trust and Resilience Report 2026, revealing a growing disconnect between how confident organizations feel about cyber resilience and the reality of recovery outcomes.
As ransomware, regulatory pressure, and AI-driven data risk grow, even mature organizations are finding that confidence in recovery and proof of recovery are fundamentally different capabilities. The Veeam Data Trust and Resilience Report 2026, based on insights from more than 900 senior IT, security and risk leaders worldwide, found that while 90% of organizations express confidence in their ability to recover from a cyber incident, fewer than one in three ransomware victims fully recovered their data. On average, organizations recovered just 72% of affected data following a ransomware attack.
