In today’s digital landscape, your systems and data are constantly under siege. Cyberattacks are no longer rare events; they are a common occurrence. Threat actors are using a myriad of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to compromise systems. According to the 2024 Veeam Ransomware Trends report, these attacks don’t just target production environments — they are going after backups too, making recovery from ransomware attacks more challenging than ever.
At Veeam, we’re on a mission to help organizations achieve data resilience. This means not just recovering from cyberattacks, data loss, or outages, but emerging stronger and more prepared for future challenges.
We’re constantly innovating to enhance data resilience. One shining example is Veeam Cyber Secure, an unparalleled white-glove service with design, support, and implementation services to ensure our customers remain protected and resilient. Veeam Cyber Secure also includes quarterly security assessments, training, and world-class ransomware incident response coverage from Coveware by Veeam. In essence, Veeam Cyber Secure helps organizations get secure, stay secure, and provides expert guidance in the case of a ransomware attack.
Another innovative offering is our TTP Analysis Sessions. This unique service in the market provides customers with real-life intelligence from the latest trends on cyberattacks by experts on the front lines, information discussed in these sessions includes adversary tactics used by threat actors, the most active threat actors, and recommendations to bolster cyber defenses.

Veeam Data Platform Security
Veeam recently committed to CISA’s Secure by Design Pledge, reinforcing the adoption of our security best practices. Not only are we enhancing our software development and release processes, but we’re also rolling out many new security features to help keep our customers protected. One of the standout additions is the Recon Scanner, which is a unique and innovative proactive protection for both production and backup environments.
Proactive Protection with Recon Scanner
Imagine being able to spot potential cyberattacks before they happen! With the Recon Scanner, this is now a reality. By collecting and analyzing data proactively, the Recon Scanner can identify unexpected network connections, unusual user behavior, suspicious file activity, data exfiltration attempts, and even potential brute force attacks. The unpredictability of dwell time — the period between compromise and attack — makes traditional threat detection and mitigation challenging. That’s why we’re integrating the Recon Scanner with the Veeam Data Platform, using technology and years of experience assisting organizations respond to cyberattacks.
A Leap Forward in Threat Assessment
The Recon Scanner represents a significant advancement in proactive threat assessment technology for Veeam Data Platform environments. By harnessing innovative, patent-pending technology, we’re ensuring that the Veeam Data Platform stays ahead of cyberthreats. This approach not only saves organizations time and money but also makes it an invaluable addition to any data resilience strategy.
Coming Soon!
