The integration of autonomous AI agents in IT infrastructure brings unprecedented speed, but also new risks of widespread, instantaneous data corruption. For European CIOs, this directly impacts NIS2 and ISO 27001 compliance. Discover why next-generation, rapid-recovery data protection is essential when AI takes the wheel—and how IssTech secures your mission-critical DevOps environments.

As AI agents become increasingly advanced, the threat landscape for corporate data is changing. Read our article, featured in IT-Kanalen, on how IssTech and AvePoint help organizations future-proof and build resilience into their backups.

Svenska företag lever i en farlig illusion om att molnet sköter sig självt. I en tid av geopolitisk osäkerhet och nya krav som NIS2 räcker det inte med att "bygga om" vid en kris. Lär dig varför experterna på IssTech menar att ni måste kunna påbörja en evakuering av affärskritiska data på under tio minuter – och hur ni skapar en robust Plan B.

Microsoft recently announced that it will begin blocking Exchange Web Services (EWS) requests in Exchange Online starting October 1, 2026. As the platform transitions to the more secure and modern Microsoft Graph API, you might be wondering how this major update impacts your IT environment.

The good news is that IssTech customers have nothing to worry about. This blog post breaks down exactly what the EWS deprecation means for your organization and how IssTech is working closely with our trusted partner, AvePoint, to manage the transition seamlessly. We are proactively tracking updates, validating your managed services and backups, and ensuring all necessary data flows shift to the Graph API well before Microsoft's deadline.

Currently, no immediate action is required on your part. We are handling the heavy lifting so you don't have to! If you need to approve new Microsoft Graph permissions in your tenant down the line, IssTech will provide plenty of advance notice and clear, step-by-step guidance. Read the full post to learn more about our proactive approach, and find out how to stay informed on all critical IT updates.

• The "Rebuild It" Myth: Relying solely on automated pipeline rebuilds instead of dedicated backups is a failing strategy in modern cloud and Kubernetes environments.

• Why Pipelines Fail: Code redeployment cannot restore lost persistent data, replace undocumented tribal knowledge, or function during major repository outages.

• Unpredictable New Threats: Unforeseen risks—such as autonomous AI agents creating hidden dependencies or sudden geopolitical shifts—require true disaster recovery, not just quick automated fixes.

• The Wisdom of Regulation: Compliance frameworks like DORA and NIS2 shouldn't be viewed as bureaucratic hurdles, but as hard-learned lessons from past IT disasters codified to protect your business.

• The Bottom Line: IssTech emphasizes that an independent, robust data protection strategy is the only reliable safety net against the industry's ever-evolving "unknown unknowns."

While legacy VMs offer "Instant On" recovery, modern applications often suffer from a "Time Bomb" RTO. Because data and code (IaC) are managed in silos, disaster recovery becomes a slow, fragmented process of rebuilding infrastructure before data can be injected.

IssProtect bridges this gap by unifying the application, configuration, and data into a single unit. Powered by Veeam Kasten, it restores the entire stack simultaneously, bringing near-zero RTO to Kubernetes and cloud-native environments. Don’t let your modern architecture become a recovery liability.

Kubernetes Changed Block Tracking (CBT) is a newly project feature that revolutionizes cloud backups. Instead of scanning an entire volume to create a backup, CBT identifies and saves only the blocks of data that have changed since the last snapshot. This drastically reduces backup windows, lowers storage costs, and minimizes the performance impact on running applications.

Många svenska företag använder föråldrade backuplösningar som inte klarar av allt mer moderna IT-miljöer. Förutom att företagen riskerar kostsamma dataförluster kan de också få böter när nya NIS2-direktivet träder i kraft. IssTech listar sju tips för alla som behöver modernisera sin backup. 

With ingress-nginx entering feature freeze, the hunt for alternatives like Cilium with Gateway API or Traefik. However, migrating production workloads can be risky and tedious.

IssTech proposes a "Backup-as-Code" strategy using Veeam Kasten to solve this. By backing up your live NGINX application and restoring it to a test cluster, you can validate new controllers safely using real data.

The process leverages Kasten "Transform Sets" to modify data on the fly—automatically patching Ingress classes and stripping annotations, or excluding old configs entirely for a Gateway API migration. This approach turns backup software into a powerful migration engine, eliminating the need for manual manifest rewriting and protecting production environments.

While Velero is a common starting point for Kubernetes backups, it often brings hidden risks, manual overhead, and compliance gaps.

IssProtect for DevOps (powered by Veeam Kasten) delivers the professional alternative your business needs:

• Backup-as-Code: True data mobility to move workloads across clouds effortlessly.

• Compliance Ready: Built for NIS2 and DORA with advanced encryption and immutability.

• Superior Performance: Scalable ephemeral pods architecture that outperforms Velero’s static agents.

• Application Aware: Protects code and data integrity without manual scripts.

Don't wait for disaster to strike. Choose resilience over risk.
