Most companies don’t take cyber risk seriously until it’s too late. This is Wake Up, the podcast from Veeam that pulls back the curtain on what really happens when crisis strikes. Told through the voices of those who’ve lived it, these are the human stories behind the attacks — the 3 a.m. wake-up call every CISO knows too well, the flashing phone, the sinking feeling, the fear and fatigue that set in long before dawn, and the leadership it takes to navigate the fallout.
We’re going beyond the ransomware and phishing to explore the people, culture, and real-world decisions that define how organizations respond when it counts.
Wake Up is a call to every CISO and their C-suite peers to understand what true readiness means and to build cultures of resilience before crisis hits. Because when the next breach comes, your organization isn’t the one sleepwalking into the headlines.

What if the next cyberattack doesn’t start with code but with a conversation?
They look nothing like the villains you imagine. From scattered collectives of teenagers to AI‑powered deepfakes, the battlefield has shifted, and Veeam Field CISO Ray Heffer has watched it happen in real time.
In this episode of Wake Up, global data resilience expert Caroline Wong talks with Ray about the psychology of the modern hacker and how attackers are turning human trust into their most powerful weapon.
Cybersecurity is both technical and deeply human.
