Veeam Software has introduced Veeam Data Platform v13, a transformative release that sets a new benchmark for cybersecurity, ransomware protection, AI-driven intelligence, and next-generation data recovery. Designed for an era marked by rising cyber threats, rapid cloud expansion, and AI-driven workloads, v13 ensures enterprise data remains secure, available, and always recoverable across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
With more than 550,000 global customers, the Veeam Data Platform continues to be the industry’s most trusted solution for data backup, ransomware detection, cloud data protection, hybrid infrastructure management, and AI-powered cybersecurity. The latest version introduces major advancements in threat detection and resilience, strengthening Veeam’s position as the world’s leading cyber-resilience platform.
Next-Generation Cybersecurity and AI-Driven Threat Defense
Veeam Data Platform v13 delivers powerful new capabilities to outsmart modern cybercriminals. The platform introduces Recon Scanner 3.0, a major leap forward in real-time threat visibility and forensic intelligence. Fully integrated with Veeam’s security ecosystem, it enhances the way organizations detect suspicious behavior, analyze threats, and respond rapidly using tools such as Veeam ONE Threat Center and Microsoft Sentinel. The platform also adds an advanced AI-powered Malware Analysis Agent, offering automatic detection, classification, and clean recovery validation to ensure data integrity after an attack.
Strengthened identity and access controls, immutable-by-default backups, and deep integrations with leading security platforms such as CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Splunk, and ServiceNow create an end-to-end security layer that unifies IT operations, threat analysis, and cyber resilience.
Breakthrough Cloud Recovery and Advanced Hypervisor Support
With v13, Veeam significantly enhances workload mobility and cloud modernization. Organizations can now achieve instant recovery to Microsoft Azure, restoring critical workloads into a secure cloud cleanroom to validate recoverability and reduce downtime. Veeam also expands hypervisor support with Scale Computing HyperCore available immediately, while upcoming platforms like HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, Citrix XenServer, and XCP-ng, along with the upcoming Universal Hypervisor Integration API, ensure complete virtualization freedom. In 2026, support for OpenShift Virtualization and more advanced integrations will further extend Veeam’s industry leadership.
Simplified Deployment and Modern Management
Veeam Data Platform v13 enhances simplicity and cost efficiency through the Veeam Software Appliance, a hardened Linux-based virtual appliance that deploys in minutes, self-updates, and now supports high availability without requiring proprietary hardware. Complementing this is a modern, browser-based web console that streamlines management, reduces infrastructure complexity, and improves day-to-day operational efficiency.
A New Era of AI-Powered Cyber Resilience
“Protecting our customers’ data is our purpose. With Veeam Data Platform v13, we are raising the bar for data resilience and AI-powered security. This release gives organizations the intelligence, automation, and flexibility they need to stay ahead of cyberattacks, eliminate lock-in, and innovate with confidence. V13 lays the foundation for Veeam’s future as a unified data and AI command platform built on trust, protection, and secure innovation,” said Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam Software.
Veeam Data Platform v13 is available globally through Veeam’s network of partners, resellers, and distributors. Recon Scanner 3.0 is now included with Veeam Data Platform Premium and will soon be available to all Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partners.
