$1.725 billion, marking the data protection company\u2019s largest acquisition and its entry into the artificial intelligence security market as enterprises struggle to deploy AI systems safely.<\/p>\n<p>The deal, expected to close in early December, comes as organizations face mounting challenges in managing data across fragmented systems while attempting to launch AI initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Securiti AI, based in San Jose, Calif., specializes in data security management and provides tools that help organizations understand what data they have, who can access it, and how it\u2019s being used across hybrid cloud environments. The company uses a knowledge graph to map relationships between data assets, users, AI models and compliance requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Veeam, headquartered in Kirkland, Wash., makes software for backing up and recovering data after ransomware attacks and other breaches. The combination aims to address what both companies describe as a critical gap: enterprises cannot safely deploy AI without knowing whether the data feeding those systems is secure, properly governed and accessible only to authorized users.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s no longer about just protecting data from cyber threats and unforeseen disasters; it\u2019s also about identifying all your data, ensuring it\u2019s governed and trusted to power AI transparently,\u201d said Anand Eswaran, Veeam\u2019s CEO. He called data trust \u201cthe single most critical factor in failed AI initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition reflects broader concerns about AI systems accessing sensitive information they shouldn\u2019t see or providing data to employees who lack proper permissions. Unstructured data including emails, documents and customer interactions represents 70% to 90% of enterprise data, yet organizations have struggled to harness its value while maintaining security and compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Securiti CEO Rehan Jalil will join Veeam as president of security and AI. Jalil previously founded Elastica, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelfutures.com\/mergers-acquisitions\/blue-coat-systems-purchases-elastica-for-280-million\">merged with Blue Coat for $280 million<\/a> before Symantec acquired the combined company for $4.7 billion. He also founded WiChorus, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.informationweek.com\/it-sectors\/tellabs-to-acquire-wichorus-for-165-million\">which Tellabs acquired<\/a> for $165 million.<\/p>\n<p>The deal is another in a lengthy list of cybersecurity companies acquiring AI-focused companies in 2025.
