Veeam® Software announced the completion of its $1.725 billion acquisition of Securiti AI, a company known for its work in Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), privacy, governance, and AI trust. The companies reported that the deal creates a unified data platform designed to see, secure, govern, and recover data at AI speed.

Veeam said the platform is now used by more than 550,000 customers, including 82% of the Fortune 500. It revealed that the acquisition combines its data resilience foundation with Securiti AI’s security and governance technology to support safe AI at scale.

Anand Eswaran, CEO at Veeam, reported that nearly 90% of enterprise AI initiatives fail due to untrusted data. He stated that the new combined capabilities aim to deliver trusted, governed, and recoverable data for AI systems. He added that the integration will allow the platform to see everything, secure everything, and recover anything across the data estate.

AI has turned unstructured data into a source of both opportunity and risk. The companies said fragmented tools are failing to keep up with machine-speed data access and AI agent behavior.

Veeam and Securiti AI said customers will gain:
• Unified visibility across structured, unstructured, primary, and secondary data
• Continuous governance and compliance with identity-aware runtime enforcement
• Zero-trust security and enhanced resilience across production and backups
• Clean recovery of data, pipelines, models, and AI agents
• Trusted data pipelines to accelerate AI use across the enterprise

The company confirmed that 600 Securiti AI employees will join Veeam. Securiti AI founder and CEO Rehan Jalil will take on the role of President of Security and AI at Veeam.

Eswaran announced that the acquisition creates a single platform that unifies resilience, security, privacy, governance, and AI trust. He said this gives customers greater control over their data as they adopt intelligent systems. Jalil stated that the combined platform will act as a unified command center to understand, secure, recover, and unlock the full potential of enterprise data, supporting safe AI at scale.

The companies reported that AI adoption has turned unstructured data, now 90% of enterprise data and projected to triple by 2029, into both an asset and a risk. At the same time, incomplete or ungoverned data continues to cause AI project failures, while cyber threats accelerate at AI speed.

The unified Veeam and Securiti AI platform is expected to provide real-time visibility, security, governance, and recovery across production systems, backups, AI pipelines, cloud environments, and on-premises infrastructure.

They revealed what organizations will be able to achieve with the platform:
• Real-time understanding of data through a Veeam Data Command Graph with classification, lineage, and continuous risk scoring
• Stronger security for data and AI with DSPM, privacy controls, governance, and threat detection
• Faster restore capabilities with cleanroom-validated recovery and granular rollback for datasets, embeddings, and model weights
• Governed data pipelines for AI, with built-in entitlements, privacy, and automated policy enforcement.
