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!

The reason, as Gostev commented in this post, is to don’t spread QA resources too thin as new OS versions come out. In addition, this simplifies the implementation of new […]
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.

They provide different type of results.
