GigaOm evaluated 25 data security posture management vendors this year — up from 14 in the prior edition — and Veeam's Securiti AI emerged with the highest scores across every axis in the report.
The 2026 GigaOm Radar for DSPM placed Securiti AI in the Leader and Fast Mover categories, a position it has held for three consecutive years. Scores were 4.8 out of 5 on Key Features, 4.7 on Emerging Features, and 4.8 on Business Criteria, making it the top-ranked vendor across the expanded field.
GigaOm framed the evaluation around a problem that has grown noticeably since the previous edition: the accumulating data risk introduced by AI assistants, custom-built models, and shadow data repositories — cloud data stores created outside normal IT controls and later abandoned. With 25 vendors now under assessment, the comparative picture is broader than it has been.
As illustrated in the GigaOm report, Securiti AI delivers the industry's most advanced DSPM capabilities with its Data Command Graph providing a contextual engine that continuously maps relationships across all your data, identities, policies, and AI systems. This shared intelligence layer transforms fragmented tools into a single control pane for your data and AI.
The report highlighted several areas where Securiti AI performed well, including data lineage across structured and unstructured environments, incident response and impact analytics, and on-premises repository support with feature parity to cloud deployments. GigaOm placed the platform in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant and described it as "ideal for larger and more complex environments," crediting the Data Command Graph architecture for providing contextual mapping across data, identities, policies, and AI systems.
Veeam acquired Securiti in late 2024, combining it with its data resilience portfolio. The combined entity positions DSPM alongside backup and recovery — a bet that organisations managing large AI workloads will want to address data risk and data resilience through a single platform rather than separate tools.
It provides insights into data discovery and classification; data access governance; configuration risk management; minimizing redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data; AI security; compliance automation; and breach management.
The Securiti platform also covers non-human identities: service accounts, API keys, and bot identities are included in the Identity-Data Graph alongside human access governance, which reflects how access patterns inside AI pipelines differ from conventional user activity.
