Veeam Software has unveiled Agent Commander, a first-of-its-kind solution designed to help organisations detect AI risk, protect AI systems, and undo AI mistakes with precision.

The platform represents the first integration from Veeam’s acquisition of Securiti AI, combining the capabilities of both companies to deliver comprehensive visibility, control, and protection across an enterprise’s entire data and AI estate.

Agent Commander will be available in a forthcoming release of the Securiti Data Command Center, uniting industry-leading data resilience and data security functions in a single, operational platform.

“With Agent Commander, organizations know what data is powering AI, and it gives them the power to detect, protect, and, when necessary, undo AI actions with speed and precision. It represents the future of what’s expected from data security and data resilience, and it’s only possible with Veeam’s unified platform,” said Anand Eswaran, CEO, Veeam.

The challenge of AI trust in enterprise environments

As AI agents scale within organisations, trust has emerged as a critical gap in enterprise AI infrastructure. Data risk and AI risk are increasingly intertwined: an AI agent is only as trustworthy as the data it can access and act upon. Yet current enterprise controls remain fragmented, with separate systems for protection, governance, security, and recovery. 

“AI happens at machine speed, which means organizations must understand what data is being used, by what agent, and how in real-time. If an error occurs, organizations not only need to understand what data was impacted, but they also need the ability to undo any damage rapidly,” said Anand Eswaran.

Without unified control, AI agents can access and act on sensitive data within seconds, leaving traditional workflows, often taking hours to detect and days to remediate, far too slow.

A new layer of AI infrastructure

Agent Commander introduces a unified control plane that merges data resilience, data security, and AI risk management into one operational system. By combining Veeam’s trusted data resilience capabilities with Securiti AI’s Data Command Center, the platform provides:

  • Full visibility into AI environments and Shadow AI activity.
  • Comprehensive controls to protect data as it flows through AI systems.
  • Precision rollbacks to instantly undo AI mistakes without reverting entire systems.

This convergence enables organisations to detect and resolve threats faster, reduce operational risk, and safely scale AI across enterprise environments.

What makes Agent Commander unique

At its core is Veeam’s Data Command Graph™, a real-time relational intelligence engine mapping live connections between data, identities, AI models, and autonomous agents across production and backup environments.

This allows organisations to identify “toxic combinations” where compromised identities, exposed data, and autonomous agents intersect, risks that can compound and cascade in real time.

Key capabilities include:

  1. Detect AI Risk with Context – Identify shadow AI, sensitive data exposure, and risky agent behaviour with full visibility across systems.
  2. Protect AI Pipelines Autonomously – Enforce granular, real-time controls across data, identities, and AI agents, regardless of cloud platform or AI provider.
  3. Undo AI Mistakes with Precision – Surgically reverse unwanted AI actions, restoring trusted data without full system rollbacks.

“As AI becomes operational infrastructure, enterprises can no longer treat data protection, data and AI security, privacy, and governance as separate disciplines. Controlling AI risk is effectively impossible in siloed environments or without deep contextual intelligence across data, permissions, and autonomous agents,” said Rehan Jalil, President of Products & Technology, Veeam.

“Agent Commander unifies control across production and backup to detect toxic combinations, enforce granular policy, and precisely reverse AI-driven actions. This is the foundation required to operate AI safely at enterprise scale.”

With Agent Commander, Veeam positions itself at the forefront of enterprise AI governance and resilience, offering organisations the tools to safely accelerate AI adoption while mitigating the operational and reputational risks associated with autonomous systems.

Talking Points

It is impressive that Veeam Software has launched Agent Commander, a unified platform designed to detect AI risk, protect AI systems, and undo AI mistakes in real time.

This integrated solution positions Agent Commander as a practical tool for organisations grappling with the rapid pace and complexity of AI adoption, particularly where sensitive data and autonomous agents intersect.

At Techparley, we see how platforms like Agent Commander can accelerate safe AI deployment across enterprises, enabling teams to confidently scale AI while reducing operational risk.

By merging data resilience, data security, and AI risk management into one operational system, the platform allows organisations to gain end-to-end visibility, enforce granular controls, and precisely reverse AI-driven mistakes. This convergence of capabilities is something no standalone solution currently offers.

As AI adoption continues to expand, we see opportunities for Agent Commander to become a cornerstone for operational AI trust, helping organisations safeguard data, comply with regulations, and confidently harness AI as a business accelerator.
