Veeam Software has announced the acquisition of Securiti.ai for $1.725 billion, the largest deal in the company’s history. The move significantly enhances Veeam’s position in data protection by integrating advanced AI-driven privacy and security tools into its enterprise backup and disaster recovery ecosystem.
The acquisition underscores Veeam’s strategic shift toward automated compliance and intelligent data governance — a growing priority for global enterprises managing sensitive information across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises systems.
Securiti.ai, founded in 2018 and based in San Jose, specializes in privacy automation and AI-based data mapping. Its technology enables organizations to identify, classify, and secure data across multiple environments while maintaining regulatory compliance with frameworks like GDPR, CCPA, and emerging global standards.
Strengthening AI and Compliance Capabilities
The addition of Securiti.ai’s technology expands Veeam’s platform beyond traditional backup and recovery, creating what company executives describe as a full lifecycle data protection solution. The deal integrates Securiti.ai’s AI-powered Data Command Center directly into Veeam’s architecture, allowing customers to monitor data risk and automate compliance at scale.
Veeam executives emphasized that the acquisition positions the company to address one of the most pressing challenges in enterprise IT: ensuring security and governance for rapidly expanding volumes of AI-generated and AI-analyzed data. The acquisition will allow Veeam to automate data visibility, policy enforcement, and breach response through machine learning systems trained on structured and unstructured datasets.
Industry observers note that the integration aligns with a broader trend of consolidation between cybersecurity and data management firms. By combining Securiti.ai’s privacy automation with Veeam’s backup expertise, the company aims to deliver unified data protection across dynamic, AI-enabled infrastructures.
Expanding Market Reach and Strategic Position
Veeam’s leadership called the acquisition a “transformational moment,” positioning the company as a key player in the next phase of enterprise data management. The expanded offering will help Veeam target customers in finance, healthcare, and government sectors — industries under increasing regulatory pressure to secure data generated by AI workflows.
In a statement, CEO Anand Eswaran said the acquisition “brings together best-in-class data protection and cutting-edge privacy automation,” strengthening Veeam’s ability to serve enterprises managing billions of records across global networks. He added that the combined platform will “ensure organizations can innovate safely with AI while maintaining full control of their data.”
Securiti.ai’s existing workforce and product lines will continue to operate under Veeam’s umbrella, with plans for full integration into the company’s suite of enterprise offerings by 2026.
Industry analysts expect the acquisition to accelerate Veeam’s expansion in the U.S. and European markets, where demand for AI-compliant data infrastructure has grown rapidly over the past year. The move also positions Veeam against rivals like Rubrik, Cohesity, and Commvault, each of which has recently introduced AI-enhanced data management tools.
The acquisition reflects how the intersection of backup, security, and AI-driven compliance is reshaping enterprise software — moving data protection from reactive recovery to continuous, intelligent defense.
