Veeam Completes Acquisition of Securiti AI to Create the Industry’s First Trusted Data Platform for Accelerating Safe AI at Scale

Veeam reinforces #1 global leadership in Data Resilience and welcomes 600 AI and security experts; Securiti AI CEO Rehan Jalil joins as President of Security and AI

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Veeam^® Software, the #1 global leader by market share in Data Resilience, today announced the completion of its $1.725 billion acquisition of Securiti AI, the recognized leader in Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), privacy, governance and AI trust.

The combination brings together the world’s leading Data Resilience platform – trusted by over 550,000 customers and 82% of the Fortune 500 – with the industry’s most advanced 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 center to understand, secure, recover, and unlock the full potential of their entire data estate. This is about enabling safe AI at scale - giving organizations the confidence to innovate fearlessly while protecting their most valuable asset.”

Why This Matters Now

AI adoption has turned unstructured data, which is 90% of enterprise data¹ and projected to triple by 2029², 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.

What the Unified Platform Will Deliver

Organizations 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.
