Not Just Protected But Trusted: Veeam Marks a Decade as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ For Backup & Data Protection Platforms
Named Highest in Ability to Execute for the 7th straight time and a Leader for the 10th time in a row, Veeam brings Data and AI Trust to backup and recovery as AI adoption accelerates
Veeam®Software, the Data and AI Trust Company, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders Quadrant of the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Backup & Data Protection Platforms. This marks the 10th time in a row Veeam has been named a Leader. For the 7th consecutive time, Veeam was positioned Highest in Ability to Execute.
Veeam delivers a unified trust layer that connects data, identities, access, and resilience so enterprises can safely operate in the agentic era – here security starts with data. That trust is critical and combines operational resilience and cyber resilience with the ability to understand, secure, and govern data across both production and backup environments so organizations can reduce risk and restore what matters most with confidence.
“Traditional approaches to resilience were built with humans in mind but today, agents bring AI to your data at machine speed, meaning the security control point for your organization is now the data itself,” said Anand Eswaran, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Veeam. “To trust that data means going beyond the ability to backup and recover data quickly with confidence. We need to understand all our data, both structured and unstructured, know who has access to the data and how it’s being used. Veeam is the first trust platform to unify data security, privacy, compliance, governance, and resilience together, enabling organizations to safely accelerate AI at speed, without any of the risks. This new Data and AI Trust layer empowers enterprises to operate securely and confidently in the agentic era.”
