Reading Time: 8 minutesThe Veeam Managed Hardened Repository is a bootable ISO based on Rocky Linux 9.2 (Blue Onyx) distribution preconfigured by Veeam. The idea is to dramatically simplify the provisioning experience and improve the security of the hardened repository, with a solutionpre-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!
Reading Time: 5 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 […]
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.
Reading Time: 2 minutesVeeam Backup & Replication has several roles and for some of them you can use a Linux OS to implement specific roles. Considering that CentOS Linux 7 will reach end of life (EOL) on June 30, 2024 will be really important know which versions and which distributions are supported. And recently has been released Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3 but with minor changes in the Linux OS support. Note that initially (9 December) there was no official support to RHEL or Rocky Linux 9.5!
Reading Time: 5 minutesMicrosoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is a cloud-based Identity and Access Management (IAM) system that delivers accessto your internal and external resources. But Entra ID is much more than just a directory of users andgroups, and protecting this data and knowledge is paramount. Entra ID is at the core of nearly everyorganization and is essential to keep your business running, and Veeam can now give you peace of mindby protecting it. Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3 adds the EntraID backup as the first SaaS cloud workload support “embedded” in Veeam Backuup (other SaaS […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesMany customers are using backup tools to identify potential dormant threats in their environment and Veeam Backup & Replication adds a lot of malware detection methods starting with v 12. Whether through periodic manual spot-checks, continuous scheduled backup scans (for example with SureBackup), or alert-driven scans, risks can be uncovered without adding overhead to production environments while allowing for a fast response from security teams. However, one of the challenges with searching for threats is knowing what to look for.
Reading Time: 5 minutesAs I mentioned in the Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3 upgrade notes article, a Veeam Backup upgrade does NOT upgrade the embedded database (if you are using the embedded database deployment). Of course, if you have external database this should be managed individually after the Veeam upgrade. If you want to upgrade also the embedded database server part, you need to do it manually!
