Veeam Unveils US Federal Subsidiary; Earl Matthews Quoted

Veeam Software has launched a new subsidiary to offer software platforms meant to help federal government customers protect and manage data, workloads and mission-critical applications.

Vega is chief information security officer at Veeam Software and has held cybersecurity leadership roles within DOD and intelligence community.
