Veeam Software, a data resilience company, recently made a key acquisition of Securiti AI, a leader in data security posture management (DSPM), privacy, governance, access, and AI trust across hybrid, multi-cloud, and SaaS platforms, for $1.725 billion.

Through this acquisition, the two companies will help customers comprehend their full data estate, provide security, as well as recovery and rollback services to maximize the value of their data for AI. Together, Veeam and Securiti AI will unify data resilience with DSPM, privacy, governance, and AI trust across production and secondary data.

“We’ve entered a new era for data. It’s no longer about just protecting data from cyber threats and unforeseen disasters; it’s also about identifying all your data, ensuring it’s governed and trusted to power AI transparently,” said Anand Eswaran, CEO at Veeam. “This is the single most critical factor in failed AI initiatives. By combining the market-leading strengths of Veeam and Securiti AI, we bring those capabilities together in a single solution to help customers understand, secure, recover, and rollback, and unleash their data to drive new business value.”

Additionally, Securiti AI CEO Rehan Jalil will join Veeam as President of Security and AI.

Key factors for the acquisition

The acquisition enables Veeam to guide organizations through the challenge of managing fragmented data across apps, clouds, SaaS, endpoints, and backups.

CIOs, CISOs, and CDOs will provide a unified command center to fully control and understand all their data, secure it with near-zero data loss or business downtime, and recover and rollback data and AI with precision to foster AI innovation.

This command center provides a single control plane across production and secondary data, enabling enterprises to uniformly command their entire data estate after unifying Veeam’s trusted data resilience capabilities with Securiti AI’s leading DSPM, privacy, governance, and AI trust for your entire data estate. Veeam’s global reach and innovation, combined with Securiti AI’s technology and intelligence, are set to empower customers with unmatched business resilience and security to fully unlock the benefits of AI.

One of the reasons for the acquisition, Veeam says, is that organizations have not been able to harness the value of unstructured data, including emails, documents, and customer interactions (70-90 percent of all enterprises’ data), while cyberattacks have increased in sophistication, regulations are tightening, and AI initiatives are stalling due to untrusted data being fed to them.

Furthermore, traditional approaches to AI initiatives do not adequately reflect new AI threats, forcing teams into constant trade-offs between security, risk management, and business agility. Veeam and Securiti AI teaming will mitigate this trade-off through that single command center for all data.

Powered by a unique knowledge graph, Securiti AI’s Data Command Center will unify data intelligence and security controls for data across the hybrid multi-cloud.

The Data Command Center features a built-in and extensible agentic AI framework to automate key functions for data intelligence, data security, and controls. Its Gencore AI module enables safe enterprise AI search.

“The integration of Securiti AI’s advanced data security platform with Veeam’s robust data resilience platform represents an evolution in how organizations approach protection and governance of their information in an AI-driven landscape,” said Paul Stringfellow, Senior Analyst, Security & Risk at GigaOm. 

“Together, these platforms bridge the gap between security, governance, compliance, and resilience, enabling organizations to achieve a comprehensive, context-rich understanding of their data. This synergy allows for the identification of what data is truly important, how it is being used, who has access to it, and why — all critical insights for applying precise, effective controls that proactively defend against risk, ensure compliance, and support robust governance.”

The integration will enable organizations to harness the power of AI with confidence, with the knowledge that their data is both resilient and secure. The transaction is expected to close at some point in Q4 of 2025.

“In the current era, where AI is only reliable as the data it is built upon, the importance of data accuracy and security is paramount,” said Stringfellow. “It enables organizations to harness the power of AI with confidence, knowing their data is both resilient and secure — closing the gap between data security and data resilience in a way that empowers businesses to innovate safely and effectively.”

Recently, tech giant IBM made their own move to expand AI expertise through an acquisition of Cognitus. Learn more about how this acquisition will boost IBM’s SAP and AI capabilities across its portfolio.
