Ransomware attacks are evolving, and so are expectations for response and recovery. Organizations must demonstrate that they can defend their data, detect threats quickly, and recover with confidence.
That’s why Veeam and CrowdStrike have come together to unify data resilience into a coordinated approach. By enhancing security visibility and breaking down silos between backup and security operations, this joint solution helps organizations move faster, act smarter, and recover without compromise.
CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM: Smarter Detection Starts with Unified Data
CrowdStrike’s Next-Gen SIEM delivers AI-powered detection, high-speed search, and automated workflows to help security teams identify and mitigate threats in real time. Built for today’s threat landscape, this solution provides centralized visibility across endpoints, identity, cloud, and network activity, all from a single platform.
With Veeam integrated as a signal source, Security Operations Center (SOC) teams can correlate backup health and security events with other threat indicators, uncover hidden attack paths, and act with greater speed and precision. Veeam provides a new layer of intelligence to the SOC with threat detection that starts during the backup and recovery phase.
Veeam Data Platform: A New Signal Source for Security Teams
Veeam is more than a backup platform, it’s a critical part of your threat detection stack. With built-in and AI-powered capabilities, Veeam can detect suspicious activity and malicious software directly within your backup environment and transforms backup events into actionable security insights.
With Veeam Data Connector for CrowdStrike’s Next-Gen SIEM, data is sent directly into your security workflows so backup-related anomalies can be investigated and correlated alongside endpoint and network data.
Key detection capabilities within Veeam Data Platform include:
- Inline scanning: Real-time detection of ransomware indicators and file system anomalies during the backup process.
- Veeam Threat Hunter: Best-in-class machine learning and a heuristic analysis signature-based backup scanner that’s designed to detect millions of malware variants.
- Indicators of compromise (IoC) scanner: Flags known hacker tools and dual-use utilities to stop attacks early.
This data can be forwarded into the Next-Gen SIEM Platform, giving SOC teams the visibility they need to detect threats earlier and respond faster.
Resilience in Action: A Real-World Scenario
Let’s say a ransomware alert just hit your SOC dashboard. At the same time, Veeam detects anomalies in a backup job with encrypted files, a rejected restore operation, and a restore point that’s marked as infected. These events are sent to CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM, where they’re correlated with endpoint alerts.
Within seconds, the response team isolates impacted systems, prevents potential high-risk restores, and initiates a clean recovery from verified backups. That’s cyber and data resilience in action. Detecting faster, responding as one, and recovering without reinfection.
What Organizations Gain from This Integration
- Earlier threat detection: Detect malicious activity faster with inline scanning, Threat Hunter, and proactive anomaly detection in backup environments.
- SOC visibility into backup events: Forward malware alerts, access rejections, and restore point infections directly into CrowdStrike’s Next-Gen SIEM.
- Faster, cleaner recovery: Coordinate SecOps and backup operations for malware-free, auditable recovery that meets even the most aggressive recovery time objectives (RTOs).
- Operational alignment: Break down silos between IT and security with shared visibility, unified workflows, and coordinated response.
Get Started
Cyber resilience doesn’t happen in a silo. With Veeam and CrowdStrike, security and IT teams can detect, contain, and recover from threats faster than ever. It’s not just about protection. It’s about confidence before, during, and after an attack.
