Veeam Unveils AI‑Driven Resilience Tool iResOps

For two decades, security and data resilience have operated in separate silos. Veeam’s acquisition of Securiti AI marked the first company to combine the two. At VeeamON 2026 in May, the company foreshadowed what that would look like. At its recent VeeamON Global Launch virtual event, Veeam announced Veeam Intelligent ResOps, or iResOps, with Microsoft 365 as the first generally available workload.

iResOps Adds

iResOps tracks every agent that touches data, building a recovery map instead of just a recovery point. The DataAI Command Graph connects data, users, permissions, agents and backup status across live and backup environments. It lets teams undo an agent’s changes file by file and flags redundant, obsolete, trivial data, while identity hygiene restores who can act but not what has already changed, underscoring that identity and resilience cannot stay separate. Veeam’s preview customers found 25 agents on a single tenant, two actively modifying data, and a quarter of a 40‑terabyte estate didn’t need to be in production. According to Veeam’s Data Trust & Resilience Report 2026, 88% of organizations use or pilot AI agents, only 7% are truly AI‑ready, and more than 82% have unknown agents.

Veeam recommends merging security and backup playbooks, inventorying agents from the data side, and treating redundant, obsolete, trivial data as a security issue. Identity must be included in recovery plans, with identity configurations backed up and compared to a known‑good state. Veeam has more than 550,000 customers and starts with recovery, adding data security posture management. Microsoft is building agent governance into Microsoft 365, but customers fear an all‑in‑one platform. The real test is proving exactly what happened and undoing only that, not rolling back everything.
