Veeam Software has announced plans to acquire Securiti AI, a data privacy and governance software company, in a $1.73 billion deal aimed at strengthening its position in the fast-growing market for cloud data management and AI security.
The acquisition, expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, will integrate Securiti AI’s flagship Data Command Center with Veeam’s backup and recovery platform, enabling enterprises to better secure and manage sensitive data across multi-cloud environments.
With the deal, Veeam seeks to compete more aggressively with rivals such as Rubrik and Commvault, as organizations face rising threats from cyber incidents and growing regulatory pressure over data privacy.
“The integration of Securiti’s data governance capabilities will allow us to deliver unified data visibility, protection, and compliance — especially for customers using AI-driven applications,” Veeam said in a statement.
Under the agreement, Securiti AI CEO Rehan Jalil will join Veeam as President of Security and AI. The companies said Veeam will continue to offer Securiti’s Data Command Center product independently while working to introduce integrated capabilities in the coming months.
Morgan Stanley advised Securiti AI on the transaction, while JPMorgan provided financing to Veeam.
The deal comes as Veeam, majority-owned by private equity firm Insight Partners, continues its expansion in enterprise data resilience. Insight Partners, which valued Veeam at $15 billion following a secondary share sale in late 2024, had originally acquired the company for about $5 billion in 2020.
Veeam’s platform is widely used to protect critical data from ransomware, cyberattacks, and accidental loss, offering immutable backups that prevent tampering and ensure rapid recovery even after system compromise.
With the acquisition of Securiti AI, Veeam aims to combine data protection with governance and privacy compliance, a move that analysts say positions it strongly for the emerging era of AI-enabled data management.
