Veeam® Software, a global leader in data resilience, has completed its $1.725 billion acquisition of Securiti AI, a recognised provider of data security posture management (DSPM), data protection, governance, and AI trust solutions.

The merger combines Veeam’s market-leading data resilience platform, trusted by over 550,000 customers and 82% of Fortune 500 companies, with Securiti AI’s solutions for data security, governance, and AI trust. The result is a unified data platform that enables organisations to monitor, secure, manage, and recover their data in real time, at speeds that meet the requirements of AI-driven applications.

AI as a driver and challenge for data trustworthiness

“Enterprise AI initiatives often fail because the underlying data cannot be fully trusted,” explains Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam. “Secure AI at scale requires not only powerful models, but also trustworthy, controlled, and recoverable data. By combining Veeam’s data resilience capabilities with Securiti AI’s expertise in DSPM, data protection, and governance, we are providing the first platform that makes all data visible, secure, and recoverable across the enterprise.”

While AI transforms unstructured data into competitive advantages, it also increases operational and security risks. Fragmented security and governance solutions frequently cannot keep up with the speed and autonomy of AI agents. Veeam and Securiti AI address these challenges with a unified platform offering:

• Comprehensive visibility across structured and unstructured data, including primary and secondary datasets
• Continuous governance and compliance with identity-aware runtime monitoring
• Zero Trust security and high resilience for production environments and backups
• Guaranteed recovery of data, pipelines, models, and agents
• Trusted data pipelines for secure scaling of AI deployments

With the acquisition, Veeam is also expanding its team by 600 Securiti AI employees, enhancing global expertise in AI security, DSPM, data protection engineering, and compliance. Rehan Jalil, founder and CEO of Securiti AI, joins Veeam as President of Security and AI.

“We are delighted to welcome the Securiti AI team,” said Eswaran. “Together, we offer the only platform that integrates data resilience, security, privacy, governance, and AI trust. This gives customers full control over their data and the confidence to embrace the era of intelligent systems.”

Jalil added: “Our collaboration with Veeam establishes a unified command centre for enterprises’ entire data portfolios. This enables secure AI at scale, fosters innovation, and safeguards the organisation’s most valuable asset – its data.”

Market significance of the acquisition

Unstructured data currently makes up 90% of all enterprise data and is expected to triple by 2029. While it offers strategic advantages, it also introduces risks. Many AI errors stem from incomplete or unmanaged data, and cyber threats grow alongside AI adoption.

The unified platform from Veeam and Securiti AI provides organisations with real-time visibility, security, governance, and recovery across all data – including production systems, backups, AI pipelines, cloud, and on-premises environments – at AI-ready speeds.

Capabilities of the unified platform

Organisations can manage their data with the following features:

• Understand data everywhere: The Veeam Data Command Graph provides real-time classification, lineage tracking, and continuous risk assessment
• Secure data and AI: Integrates leading DSPM, data protection, and governance with Veeam’s threat detection and identity-aware security
• Precise recovery and rollback: Cleanroom-validated recovery up to five times faster, including granular rollback for datasets, embeddings, and model weights
• Provide trustworthy data for AI: Regulated pipelines and enterprise-wide search automatically enforce permissions, data protection, and policies

Industry perspectives

“Veeam’s acquisition of Securiti AI marks a milestone for enterprise-level AI governance and data resilience,” says Jennifer Glenn, Research Director, IDC Security and Trust Group. “The combination enables organisations to implement AI initiatives based on trusted, compliant, and recoverable data.”

Patrick Osborne, SVP Technology Acceleration, HPE, adds: “This acquisition highlights the importance of HPE’s Unleash AI programme and ensures that customers benefit from robust data security, privacy, and governance through the combined capabilities of Veeam and Securiti AI.”
