Reading Time: 5 minutesCybersecurity is a focal point of enterprises and governments globally. The longstanding approach of protecting critical data via firewalls or using segregated/dedicated networks is no longer sufficient! This also includes Fibre Channel (FC) SAN where security was historically considered intrinsic in the SAN, due to the usage of fiber cables and dedicated (and isolated) fabrics.
Reading Time: 4 minutesThe Veeam Hardened Repository ISO (VHRISO) is a Managed Hardened Repository delivered as bootable ISO with a Rocky Linux distribution preconfigured by Veeam. The idea is to dramatically simplify the provisioning experience while eliminating (or at least reducing) the need for any Linux expertise. But also have an OS pre-hardened out of the box with all advanced security settings already applied. This because immutability may be not enough if you configure your repository in a wrong way! Recommendations are based on Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) created and maintained by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for Rocky Linux. […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesWith Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3, the malware detection methods have been improved compared with 12.1 version. The different malware detection methods are similar, they work in different way and can be used together to reach different scopes, but now there are more options. As previous, the first main diffecence is that some works inline (during the backup process on the source data) and other works with a post-processing directly on restore points saved on the repositories. They provide different type of results.

Reading Time: 3 minutesVeeam Threat Hunter is a new feature introduced in Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3 that provides the speed of YARA scans and the breadth of malware detection of a classic antivirus. Note: this function is able to scan backups only for VMs with Windows guest OS and without any file or volume encryption at guest level (like Bitlocker). But how fast it is? In the Veeam Community somebody declares 3x-6x faster in testing depending on the contents being scanned when testing against Windows Defender.
