Data management and data protection solutions provider Veeam Software Group GmbH today announced the launch of Agent Commander to help organizations safely detect artificial intelligence risk, protect AI systems and undo AI mistakes by empowering them to address AI-driven risks and securely scale AI agents.

The new offering is powered by technology from Securiti Inc., a company Veeam acquired in December following a $1.7 billion deal in October. Agent Commander combines the capabilities of both Veeam and Securiti to give organizations visibility, control and protection over their entire data and AI estate, with the ability to undo AI mistakes with precision and ease, the company says.

Agent Commander addresses what Veeam calls the most critical gap in AI infrastructure today: trust. Veeam argues that as AI agents scale, data risk and AI risk have become the same problem and that an agent is only as trustworthy as the data it can see, access and act on. Added to the mix is that sensitive data is being fed into models and acted upon in ways no one approved nor is tracking.

Traditional workflows take hours to detect and days to remediate, leaving too much exposure. This is where Agent Commander steps in.

“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,” said Veeam Chief Executive Anand Eswaran. “It represents the future of what’s expected from data security and data resilience and it’s only possible with Veeam’s unified platform.”

Agent Commander combines Veeam’s data resilience with Securiti’s Data Command Center to offer a unified platform that it says gives organizations total visibility into their AI environment, detects hidden risks and shadow AI, and provides comprehensive controls to protect data as it moves through AI systems.

The offering can instantly undo AI agent mistakes with precise rollbacks and teams can use Agent Commander to detect and fix threats faster and with less effort. The ability to do so allows for safe and rapid AI adoption and provides visibility and control to scale AI more confidently, the company says.

Key features include the ability to detect AI risk with full context by identifying shadow AI, sensitive data exposure and risky agent behavior while providing visibility into downstream impact across systems and environments. Agent Commander also protects AI pipelines autonomously through granular, real-time controls across data, identities and AI agents, independent of model providers, cloud platforms and hybrid environments. It can undo AI mistakes by surgically reversing unwanted AI actions using context-aware recovery to restore trusted data without reverting entire systems.

“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 and technology at 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.”
