A major milestone for Pakistan’s tech industry was achieved as Tech Firm Securiti AI, founded by Pakistani entrepreneur Rehan Jalil, was acquired by global data-resilience company Veeam in a deal worth around $1.7 billion. The acquisition highlights the growing influence of Pakistani talent in the global technology sector.
The Tech Firm specializes in creating tools that help businesses locate, secure, and manage data across cloud platforms and SaaS applications. Its main product, the Data Command Center, provides solutions for privacy, governance, and security of data used in artificial intelligence systems.
Veeam said the acquisition will enhance its product line by integrating Securiti AI’s advanced data protection and AI governance capabilities. The move comes as companies worldwide seek better tools to secure their data and ensure compliance while adopting AI technology.
Under the agreement, Securiti AI’s founder and CEO Rehan Jalil will take on a senior leadership role at Veeam as the President of Security and AI. The deal, a mix of cash and stock, is expected to be completed later this year, subject to regulatory approval.
Industry analysts have called the sale of the Tech Firm one of the largest exits by a Pakistani founder. It also reflects increasing investor confidence in startups focused on AI safety, privacy, and data governance — areas becoming vital for global enterprises.
Rehan Jalil has a long history in cloud security and founded Securiti AI to ensure the safe and responsible use of data in AI systems. The acquisition is viewed as a major win for Pakistan’s growing startup ecosystem, showcasing the global potential of its entrepreneurs.
