Veeam has finalised its US$1.725 billion acquisition of Securiti AI, creating what the company describes as the world’s first integrated platform combining data resilience, security, governance and AI trust.
The deal brings together Veeam’s large global footprint in backup and recovery with Securiti AI’s specialisation in data security posture management (DSPM), privacy and governance. The combined platform is aimed at helping organisations manage and secure rapidly expanding data estates, particularly as artificial intelligence systems increase the volume, velocity and sensitivity of enterprise data.
The acquisition, announced this week, comes amid growing concerns that most enterprise AI projects are hampered by inconsistent or ungoverned data. Analysts estimate that around 90% of enterprise data is unstructured and is expected to triple by the end of the decade, creating new risks around privacy, compliance and cybersecurity.
The combined Veeam–Securiti platform will offer unified visibility across structured and unstructured data, continuous governance and compliance checks, and mechanisms to secure and recover AI models, data pipelines and agentic systems. Veeam says this will give organisations a single system to understand where data resides, who can access it, how it is protected and how it can be restored after a cyber incident.
The company will absorb 600 Securiti employees, significantly expanding its expertise in AI security and privacy engineering. Securiti founder Rehan Jalil will join Veeam in a new role overseeing security and AI.
The integration of Securiti’s DSPM and AI governance capabilities with Veeam’s resilience tools signals an emerging shift across the cybersecurity and data management sectors, where safeguarding AI systems increasingly requires deep visibility and control across entire data estates — not only production environments, but backups, cloud stores and training datasets.
Further platform integration work is expected to roll out through 2026.
