Veeam Software announced the completion of its $1.725 billion acquisition of Securiti AI. The combination brings together the Data Resilience platform – trusted by over 550,000 customers and 82% of the Fortune 500 – with the data security, governance and AI Trust platform. Together, they form the first unified and trusted Data Platform: one system to see, secure, govern, and recover all data at AI speed.
The new reality: AI moves fast. Trust must move faster.
“AI investment is exploding, yet nearly 90% of enterprise initiatives fail because the data powering AI cannot be trusted,” said Anand Eswaran, CEO at Veeam. “Safe AI at scale requires more than great models – it demands trusted, governed, recoverable data. Veeam already leads the world in Data Resilience – unmatched in share, global footprint and innovation. By combining that foundation with Securiti AI’s leadership across DSPM, privacy, governance, and AI trust, we are delivering the first platform that can see everything, secure everything, and recover anything across the entire data estate.”
AI has transformed previously dormant unstructured data into a source of competitive advantage – but also into a fast-moving, high-stakes risk surface. Fragmented security, governance, and protection tools are too slow for machine-speed data access and AI agent behavior.
Together, Veeam and Securiti AI will give customers:
- Unified visibility across structured and unstructured, primary and secondary data
- Continuous governance and compliance with identity-aware runtime enforcement
- Zero-trust security and best-in-class resilience across production and backups
- Guaranteed clean recovery of data, pipelines, models, and agents
- Trusted data pipelines to safely accelerate AI adoption enterprise-wide
This is resilience, security, governance, and privacy united to make AI safe, compliant, and auditable at scale.
Veeam will welcome 600 Securiti AI employees, expanding its global expertise in AI security, DSPM, privacy engineering, and compliance. Rehan Jalil, Securiti AI founder and CEO, joins Veeam as President of Security and AI.
“We’re excited to welcome the Securiti AI team,” Eswaran added. “Together, we now deliver the only platform that unifies Data Resilience, security, privacy, governance, and AI trust – giving customers complete control over their data and the confidence to accelerate into the era of intelligent systems.”
Jalil added, “We are thrilled to join forces with Veeam. Together, we will empower customers with a unified command centre to understand, secure, recover, and unlock the full potential of their entire data estate. This is about enabling safe AI at scale – giving organisations the confidence to innovate fearlessly while protecting their most valuable asset.”
AI adoption has turned unstructured data, which is 90% of enterprise data[1] and projected to triple by 2029[2], into both a strategic asset and a new class of risk. Meanwhile, most AI failures are driven by incomplete, inconsistent, or ungoverned data, and cyber threats are intensifying at AI speed.
The unified Veeam and Securiti AI platform gives customers real-time visibility, security, governance, and recovery across all data – production, backups, AI pipelines, cloud, on-premises – at the velocity of AI.
Organisations will be able to:
- Understand data everywhere: A real-time Veeam Data Command Graph with classification, lineage, and continuous risk scoring.
- Secure data and AI: Leading DSPM, privacy, governance, and access controls combined with Veeam’s threat detection and identity-aware protection.
- Recover and rollback with precision: Cleanroom-validated restore up to 5x faster, with granular rollback for datasets, embeddings, and model weights.
- Unleash trusted data for AI: Build governed pipelines and enterprise search in minutes, with entitlements, privacy, and policy enforced automatically.
“The completion of Veeam’s acquisition of Securiti AI marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of enterprise data resilience and AI governance. Uniting data security posture management with data protection can help organisations implement AI initiatives with trusted, compliant, and recoverable data. This acquisition empowers organisations to unlock the value of their entire data ecosystem – including structured and unstructured data in both production and secondary environments – allowing them to innovate quickly while mitigating risk from both insider threats and external attacks.” – Jennifer Glenn, Research Director for the IDC Security and Trust Group
“Securiti AI joined HPE’s Unleash AI programme in 2024 to help customers innovate safely on HPE Private Cloud AI, and today, we’re proud to see that commitment recognised through Veeam’s acquisition. This milestone not only underscores the strength of HPE’s Unleash AI partner ecosystem, but further ensures our customers are receiving robust data security, privacy, and governance enabled by Veeam and Securiti AI’s combined capabilities.” – Patrick Osborne, SVP of Technology Acceleration for Hybrid Cloud at HPE
