VEEAM POSITIONS TRUSTED DATA AS FOUNDATION FOR SCALING SAFE AI, SAYS

CEO ANAND ESWARAN EXPLAINS HOW THE ACQUISITION OF SECURITI AI UNIFIES DATA RESILIENCE, SECURITY, GOVERNANCE, AND AI TRUST TO HELP ENTERPRISES MOVE AI FROM EXPERIMENTATION TO PRODUCTION WITH CONFIDENCE

- 

Enterprises accelerating AI adoption are discovering that the biggest barrier to success is no longer models or infrastructure, but whether data can be trusted, governed, secured, and recovered at machine speed.

Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam, spoke to Sandhya D'Mello, Technology Editor, Security Advisor Middle East, about the strategic rationale behind the company's landmark acquisition of Securiti AI.

The interview explores how unifying data resilience with security, privacy, governance, and AI trust creates a foundational platform for scaling safe AI, why fragmented data tools are no longer viable in an AI-driven world, and how the combined Veeam-Securiti AI platform is reshaping global data resilience strategies.

Eswaran also highlights why the UAE's digital-first vision and strong regulatory focus make the region a strategic priority for Veeam's next phase of growth, as organisations seek to innovate confidently while meeting evolving requirements around data sovereignty, compliance, and AI ethics.
