Veeam launches Veeam Intelligent ResOps for agent-era recovery

Veeam's move toward agent-era resilience has been building for some time. Last year, the company acquired Securiti AI, and at VeeamON 2026 in May it foreshadowed what that combination would look like. The DataAI Command Graph brought over from Securiti connects data, users, permissions, agents, activity and protection status across live and backup environments, and it now underpins iResOps.

The keynote drew a sharp line between old and new threats. Ransomware encrypts and exfiltration steals, but both are detectable events with established playbooks. Modification is different: as CEO Anand Eswaran put it, you cannot disclose your way out of a modification — you have to reverse it, and you can only reverse what you can identify precisely. That logic drove the argument for converging security and resilience, which have historically shared a fence but rarely a budget.

Veeam's bet is that starting with recovery, rather than bolting recovery onto security, is the more credible path. Microsoft is also building agent governance into Microsoft 365, and other vendors are exploring similar ground. The risk Eswaran's team faces is integration: customers are wary of an "Uber platform" that replaces everything, and Fidelity Investments' Steve McIntyre suggested they will favor tools that ingest context from systems they already own.
