Data resiliance company Veeam<\/a> wants to give its customers more control and security over their data in the age of AI. <\/p>\n

The Kirkland, Washington-based company announced on Tuesday that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Securiti AI<\/a>, a company that gives enterprises a command center for all of their data. The $1.725 billion deal is a mix of cash and stock and is expected to close the first week of December, as first reported by Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Securiti was founded in 2019 by Rehan Jalil. The company raised more than $156 million in venture capital from investors including Mayfield, General Catalyst and Cisco Investments, among others.<\/p>\n

Upon the close of the transaction, the Insight Partners-owned Veeam will offer Securiti\u2019s data command center product alongside its existing offerings. Jalil will join Veeam as the president of security and AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve entered a new era for data. It\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 Anand Eswaran, Veeam CEO, said in a company press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Veeam closed a $2 billion secondary sale in December 2024 that valued the company at $15 billion. At the time, Eswaran said that one of the company\u2019s plans for 2025 was to find acquisition targets<\/a> that were complimentary to the company\u2019s data resilience business.<\/p>\n

This acquisition news comes amid a year of consolidation in the data industry<\/a> as data companies are getting bought to help companies improve their data stack to help their clients adopt AI.<\/p>\n

In May, Databricks acquired Neon<\/a> for $1 billion. Salesforce acquired legacy cloud data management platform<\/a> Informatica a few weeks later for $8 billion.<\/p>\n

While these transactions have become less frequent now, than they were in the first half of the year, they seem likely to continue. In June, Sanjeev Mohan, a former Gartner analyst who now runs SanjMo, a data trend advisory firm, told TechCrunch that there would be a lot of consolidation this year.<\/p>\n

He said that customers have long been tired of having to use a laundry list of different data companies to build their data infrastructure stack. The fact that enterprises want to adopt AI has made this data fragmentation more apparent.<\/p>\n

Mohan added that any good data startup that\u2019s not getting acquired in this environment is likely just too expensive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Data resiliance company Veeam wants to give its customers more control and security over their data in the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":321446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[691,738,26745,160869,160870,158,67,132,68,77560],"class_list":{"0":"post-321445","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-data-management","11":"tag-securiti","12":"tag-startup-acquisition","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-veeam"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115412804766138946","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
