Asian CISOs in 2026 face a pivotal convergence: the rapid commercialisation of AI agents alongside expanding data estates across cloud, SaaS, and on‑prem environments.
Veeam’s Agent Commander, born from the company’s acquisition of Securiti AI, promises the first unified approach to detect AI risk, protect AI systems, and undo AI mistakes at enterprise scale.
For Asia, this represents a crucial shift from fragmented governance to a single, context-rich control plane that links data, identities, AI models, and autonomous agents in real time.
For Veeam CEO, Anand Eswaran, the urgency is clear: “AI happens at machine speed, which means organisations must understand what data is being used, by what agent, and how in real‑time. If an error occurs, organisations not only need to understand what data was impacted, but they also need the ability to undo any damage rapidly.”
This resonates strongly with Asian organisations navigating complex regional data regulations, cross‑border data flows, and proliferating AI pilots.
The Agent Commander platform, which integrates Veeam’s Data Command Graph with Securiti AI’s capability set, aims to deliver total visibility into AI pipelines, enabling containment and precise recovery without disruptive rollbacks to unrelated systems.
Meanwhile, regional technology pundits highlight that Asia’s accelerated AI deployments and heavy reliance on hybrid multi‑cloud environments make a unified approach essential to avoid “toxic combinations” of compromised identities, exposed data, and autonomous agents, all of which Agent Commander is designed to surface and mitigate.
Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong‑based enterprises are already prioritising identity-centric controls and real‑time policy enforcement as part of their AI readiness assessments.
With Agent Commander’s ability to surgically undo AI actions and recover only affected data, CISOs can pursue rapid AI experimentation—without sacrificing governance or compliance.
As Rehan Jalil (president of security & AI at Securiti) and Veeam executives articulate, this is about enabling safe AI adoption at scale, a pressing mandate across Asia’s dynamic digital economies. The combined platform’s promise to unify data resilience, security, governance, and AI risk management marks a tangible step forward for Asia’s CISOs seeking trust, speed, and scale.
