Veeam has introduced a preview of Veeam Data Platform v13.1 and a new DataAI Resilience Module during VeeamON 2026, expanding its capabilities around AI-driven data resilience, cybersecurity, and hybrid cloud recovery.
The company said the new platform innovations are designed to help enterprises manage increasingly complex data protection challenges as organizations accelerate adoption of generative AI and agentic AI systems.
Veeam Data Platform v13.1 introduces more than 70 new features and enhancements focused on secure-by-design resilience, stronger identity recovery, broader threat detection, and workload portability across multiple hypervisors.
According to Veeam, enterprises are struggling with fragmented data resilience and security tools that often operate independently, creating gaps in governance, recoverability, and visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Rehan Jalil, President, Products and Technology at Veeam Software, said organizations are facing mounting challenges from ransomware attacks, infrastructure modernization, and rapidly evolving AI adoption.
He added that the latest platform enhancements are aimed at making resilience operations more intelligent and efficient while helping enterprises recover clean data faster and prepare for AI-driven operations.
Among the major enhancements in Veeam Data Platform v13.1 are expanded threat scanning across AWS, Microsoft Azure, NAS environments, and Microsoft 365 workloads, along with Active Directory Forest Recovery capabilities and support for post-quantum cryptography.
The company also highlighted new modernization capabilities that enable workload portability across unlimited hypervisors, including support for OpenShift Virtualization environments.
Veeam additionally introduced the DataAI Resilience Module within the Veeam DataAI Command Platform, which provides centralized management, operational visibility, and AI-powered automation for backup and recovery environments.
Key capabilities include a single-pane-of-glass management interface, global search and inventory functions, predictive capacity planning, automated ticket management, and AI agents that support natural language troubleshooting and operational workflows.
Veeam said the new offerings are designed to simplify resilience management for large enterprises operating across distributed, multi-region environments with stringent compliance and sovereignty requirements.
Veeam Data Platform v13.1 and the DataAI Resilience Module are expected to become generally available in early Q3 2026 through the company’s global partner ecosystem.
