People-process-technology incident framework
Consistentconfidence 90%Tellez consistently anchors her customer guidance in the people-process-technology triad across both appearances. This is a genuinely stable core position worth noting because it anchors Veeam's go-to-market framing across years and contexts.
"usually where I start with when I'm having conversations with customers or partners, it's all about people, process, technology. Those are the three things that we can all agree on, is that that's what the customer needs to be thinking about, especially when it comes to incident response."

Shiftedconfidence 88%In 2024 Tellez highlighted a single deep bilateral partnership with HPE as the model for customer security outcomes. By 2025 the framing has broadened to a wide ecosystem of 65-plus vendors, signaling a strategic shift from depth with one partner to breadth across the security industry.
"HPE is a perfect example. We've had this relationship for over 10 years now, and I think the biggest benefit is that our two companies work strongly together to help customers, specifically when it comes to ransomware and to having better security practices put in place."

Source on theCUBE ↗Incident response tabletop exercises
Hardenedconfidence 85%In 2024 Tellez described tabletop exercises as a Veeam-run event for top customers. By 2025 she frames them as universal advice for all organizations, adding specific failure modes like 'playing hero' and wrong decisions under pressure. The stakes and specificity of the recommendation have clearly grown.
"we actually, two weeks ago, we just came off of Veeam One. We had a VIP session where we brought all of our top customers in and we walked them through an incident response workshop."
