Veeam Launches Data Resilience Maturity Model for Businesses
Veeam® Software has introduced the industry's first Data Resilience Maturity Model (DRMM). This comes as cyberattacks and IT outages continue to rise, causing major disruptions and financial losses across industries.
The new DRMM framework helps organizations measure their actual data resilience. It also provides a clear roadmap to improve it. The model is based on joint research with McKinsey & Company and insights from over 500 IT and business leaders.
One key finding shows a serious gap in awareness. While 30% of CIOs think their companies are above average in data resilience, fewer than 10% actually are. This overconfidence increases risk and leads to poor crisis response.
IT downtime now costs Global 2000 companies over $400 billion each year. On average, each company loses $200 million due to data outages and business interruptions.
Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam, said most companies are not fully prepared. He added that the DRMM is a practical tool that allows organizations to turn assumptions into action.
The DRMM evaluates resilience across three areas—people, processes, and technology. It also highlights four maturity levels: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Best-in-Class.
According to the research, 74% of organizations operate at the lowest two levels. However, companies in the top tier recover seven times faster and suffer much less data loss and downtime.
Data resilience is now a top priority for IT leaders. The study found that every $1 spent on resilience brings back $3 to $10 in value. This is due to improved uptime, reduced incident costs, and stronger performance.
Real-world success stories are already emerging. One healthcare system saved $5 million per outage. A global bank saw zero cyber incidents after applying the DRMM with Veeam's platform.
The model also serves as a decision-making guide for executives. It encourages company-wide involvement in data protection, not just IT departments.
George Westerman from MIT Sloan said outages often reflect deeper issues in IT strategy. The DRMM helps identify these gaps and offers a path forward.
Organizations can begin their data resilience journey with Veeam's tailored workshops. These sessions help teams assess their current status and take steps toward higher resilience.
With this launch, Veeam is helping businesses stay protected, recover faster, and remain operational—even in the face of rising threats.

New Bain & Company Analysis Reveals Zero-Based Cost Management Can Cut Costs by Up to 25% and Boost Shareholder Returns by 150%
New Bain & Company Analysis Reveals Zero-Based Cost Management Can Cut Costs by Up to 25% and Boost Shareholder Returns by 150% Bain & Company's latest cost-management analysis, The New Case for Zero-Based Cost Management, explains how a clean-sheet approach to cost discipline helps companies offset rising costs, free up funds to reinvest in growth and resilience, and widen their lead on competitors, even in turbulent times. Zero-based cost management enables leadership teams to rapidly shrink the firm's cost base as much as 25 percent and redeploy savings to spur growth, expand operating margins, and boost flexibility and competitiveness. Bain's 2025 Operations Reinvention COO Survey finds that two-thirds of global executives say new tariffs are forcing them to accelerate cost cuts and price increases. Bain's analysis of 5,000 companies globally shows that sustained value creators, those delivering both real top-line growth and positive economic value added over the past decade, have outperformed peers by 150 percent in total shareholder return. These leaders embed profitable-growth capabilities that hold up throughout economic cycles, industries, and geographies, underscoring the role of cost discipline in long-term outperformance. The brief describes three levels of cost management: Benchmarking and setting targets – the brute-force approach most companies use, with cost reductions that typically last only one or two years before creeping back. Redesigning the work – some firms deploy zero-based redesign (ZBR) to reset how work is done, strengthen capabilities that provide competitive differentiation while streamlining functions that are less critical, and tap generative AI for larger productivity gains. Embedding a cost-management mindset – the few winners that sustain gains treat cost discipline as a strategic priority, build capabilities in people, processes, and technology to create and sustain impact, foster a culture of ownership and continuous improvement, and use zero-based budgeting to reallocate scarce resources to their most productive uses. The most effective companies share a distinguishing feature when retooling costs: CEO and CFO engagement in a full change management effort. These leaders acknowledge at the outset that cost management requires new skills and a new mindset. They play a major role in shaping the goal and ambition, and design programs that address the potential barriers to change. Finally, they build the strategic case for change, instead of just implementing it. In doing so, they bring the organization with them. Businesses face an increasingly unpredictable future as costs mount and risks multiply. Those that embrace all three levels of cost management will be able to navigate near-term market shifts, even as they gain a competitive edge for the long term.
