Ground breaking moment for Pakistan’s technology ecosystem, Securiti AI, founded by Pakistani-American entrepreneur Rehan Jalil, has been acquired by global data-resilience firm Veeam Software for approximately $1.7 billion.
Established in 2018, Securiti AI specializes in advanced data privacy, governance, and AI-security solutions. Its flagship product — the “Data Command Center” — enables enterprises to discover, protect and control sensitive data across multiple cloud-services and SaaS applications. ad
Under the terms of the deal, Rehan Jalil will assume the role of President of Security and AI at Veeam once the acquisition closes, which is expected later this year pending regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
For Pakistan’s tech community, the acquisition represents a milestone — demonstrating that Pakistani-founded companies can scale globally and attract billion-dollar exits. Many founders and investors in the region now see this deal as a symbol of possibility and ambition.
From Veeam’s perspective, the acquisition strengthens its product portfolio in a rapidly evolving landscape where AI trust, governance and data security are becoming critical priorities for enterprise customers. Integrating Securiti’s technology is expected to accelerate Veeam’s position as a leader in delivering safe, scalable AI-enabled data management.
In short, this acquisition is not only a major financial event — it’s a narrative shift for Pakistan’s tech sector and a validation of the talent, innovation and ambition emerging from the region.
