Data resilience company Veeam has announced that it will acquire Securiti AI in a deal valued at $1.725 billion, marking one of the largest transactions in the data security sector this year. The agreement, consisting of a mix of cash and stock, is expected to close in early December, as first reported by Bloomberg. With this acquisition, Veeam aims to expand its capabilities in data governance, privacy, and AI integration, offering enterprises more control over their information in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
Founded in 2019 by Rehan Jalil, Securiti AI has developed a comprehensive command center that enables enterprises to manage, govern, and secure data across multiple environments. The company has raised over $156 million in venture funding from investors such as Mayfield, General Catalyst, and Cisco Investments. Once the acquisition is complete, Securiti’s platform will be integrated into Veeam’s suite of products, allowing customers to manage both data protection and governance through a unified system. Rehan Jalil will assume the role of President of Security and AI at Veeam, reflecting the company’s commitment to embedding data security and AI-driven transparency within its core operations.
Anand Eswaran, Chief Executive Officer of Veeam, emphasized that the acquisition comes at a pivotal time when data management has evolved beyond traditional protection measures. “We’ve entered a new era for data. It’s no longer about just protecting it from cyber threats or disasters; it’s about identifying, governing, and ensuring trust so it can power AI transparently,” he said in the company’s statement. Veeam, which completed a $2 billion secondary sale in December 2024 that valued the firm at $15 billion, has long expressed its intent to pursue acquisitions that complement its data resilience offerings. This latest move strengthens that strategy, positioning Veeam as a more comprehensive provider for enterprises navigating AI-driven data ecosystems.
The acquisition also underscores an ongoing wave of consolidation within the global data and cloud infrastructure industry. In recent months, companies have been merging to streamline their data stacks and provide integrated solutions for clients adopting AI. Earlier in 2025, Databricks acquired Neon for $1 billion, and Salesforce announced the $8 billion purchase of Informatica, further reshaping the enterprise data management landscape. Analysts note that such consolidation reflects a broader market trend where organizations are seeking unified platforms rather than managing fragmented systems from multiple vendors.
Sanjeev Mohan, a former Gartner analyst and current head of the data advisory firm SanjMo, told TechCrunch that this wave of mergers is expected to continue. He explained that enterprises are increasingly focused on simplifying data infrastructure to improve efficiency and support AI adoption. According to Mohan, startups that have not yet been acquired are often either too expensive or positioned for niche markets, indicating that the consolidation trend will likely persist.
Through its acquisition of Securiti AI, Veeam is reinforcing its position in the evolving global data management ecosystem. The integration of Securiti’s AI-driven governance technology with Veeam’s data resilience solutions is set to enhance transparency, compliance, and operational security for enterprises worldwide, aligning with the growing need for trusted and intelligent data management frameworks.
