Veeam Hardened Repository ISO

Reading Time: 5 minutes

The 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.

Further, on-going management costs are reduced thanks to both hardened repository components as well as the base OS updates provided directly by Veeam.

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.
