V13 introduces AI-enhanced forensics, hypervisor flexibility, and immutable security to help enterprises outsmart threats and recover without fear
In today’s hyperconnected digital economy, disruption is inevitable — but downtime doesn’t have to be. With the launch of Veeam Data Platform v13, Veeam Software has elevated the definition of cyber resilience, delivering a next-generation platform engineered to combat ransomware, accelerate clean recovery, integrate forensic intelligence, and empower enterprises to innovate confidently in the AI era.
Trusted by more than 550,000 customers, Veeam’s Data Platform has long been recognized as a unified powerhouse for data availability and protection across cloud, virtual, physical and SaaS environments. The v13 release builds on this legacy — adding deeper protection, smarter automation, and unprecedented flexibility to ensure data remains secure, available, and trusted.
“In the era of radical resilience, data protection is no longer a backup task — it’s a strategic defense mission.”
— Anand Eswaran, CEO, Veeam Software
At the core of v13 is Recon Scanner 3.0, now natively integrated to deliver real-time visibility into adversary behavior. It flags brute-force attacks, suspicious network activity, and file tampering, while consolidating intelligence into a triage dashboard mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework — equipping security teams with forensic clarity and rapid remediation capabilities.
V13 also introduces the Malware Analysis AI Agent, which autonomously detects, classifies, and analyzes malicious activity, ensuring organizations recover using clean, verified backup data — a crucial capability as ransomware continues to evolve.
With cybersecurity threats becoming more sophisticated, Veeam has embedded immutability by default, strengthened identity and access controls, and expanded integrations with security leaders like CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Splunk and ServiceNow, bridging backup operations with threat response ecosystems.
Equally transformative is the platform’s flexibility. The v13 release brings:
- Instant Recovery to Microsoft Azure — enabling rapid restoration in a secure clean room environment.
- Support for Scale Computing HyperCore™, with additional hypervisors like Citrix XenServer, HPE Morpheus and OpenShift coming soon.
- Universal Hypervisor Integration API — a future-proof innovation allowing any hypervisor vendor to integrate natively with Veeam’s backup and recovery framework.
Another major leap is the Veeam Software Appliance, a turnkey Linux-based solution with built-in high availability, self-updates, and deployment in minutes — offering enterprise-grade resilience without hardware lock-in.
As innovation in AI and hybrid cloud ecosystems accelerates, Veeam Data Platform v13 positions itself not just as a continuity solution, but as a strategic enabler of cyber readiness, operational intelligence, and business confidence.
Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam Software, states: “With Veeam Data Platform v13, we are resetting the standard for data resilience. We’re giving organizations the intelligence, automation, and flexibility they need to outsmart cyberattacks, eliminate lock-in, and innovate without fear.”
More than just an upgrade, v13 is Veeam’s blueprint for the future — where cyber resilience meets autonomous intelligence, and where business continuity becomes business innovation.
