Governing Exposure, Contamination, and Trust Restoration

As AI becomes central to business operations, data has emerged as both the foundation of innovation and the source of growing risk. From data exposure and contamination to governance and recoverability, organizations must ensure the integrity and resilience of the data that powers AI-driven decisions.
This exclusive, invitation-only roundtable, hosted by IDC and Veeam, brings together senior technology and business leaders in Singapore to discuss how enterprises can manage data and AI risk with confidence. The conversation will explore key challenges, including protecting data across AI environments, maintaining trusted and high-quality data, and ensuring rapid recovery when disruptions occur.
Drawing on IDC research and Veeam’s expertise in data resilience, the discussion will examine how organizations can strengthen trust, governance, and recoverability to enable secure, scalable AI adoption and drive innovation with confidence.
Key Takeaways Include:
Governing the expanding data attack surface created by AI pipelines, copies, and agentic workflows
Protecting data integrity against poisoning, drift, and “Data Debt” that silently degrades AI models
Building clean, verifiable, rapid recovery so the organization can prove what was restored after an incident
Unifying recovery across infrastructure, data, and AI platforms ahead of tightening regulation
Aligning data residency, governance, and resilience as Singapore and the region raise the bar
Making recoverability and data trust a board-level enabler of confident AI adoption
