VeeamON 2026 updates target AI trust, resilience
Summary
At VeeamON 2026, Veeam framed its roadmap around AI trust, security and data resilience, unveiling the Veeam DataAI Command Platform (built on Securiti AI's DataAI Command Graph) as a trust layer spanning production and backup data. The vendor previewed Veeam Data Platform 13.1 with 70+ updates—including broader hypervisor portability, expanded threat detection, built-in malware protection and automated Active Directory forest recovery—scheduled for general availability in early Q3 2026. Veeam also previewed Veeam Intelligence ResOps for Microsoft 365 and updated its Data and AI Trust Maturity Model to help organizations assess AI readiness and generate audit evidence. The announcements aim to unify security, governance, compliance and resilience, though industry observers question how quickly security teams will adopt the consolidated approach.
