Proactive Threat Detection for Veeam Infrastructure

This solution brief outlines Recon, a lightweight software agent integrated into Veeam Data Platform Advanced and Premium Editions. Developed in collaboration with Coveware, Recon offers proactive behavior-based detection of ransomware incidents. It continuously monitors Veeam environments for unusual user behavior, brute force login attempts, unexpected network connections, suspicious file activity, and data exfiltration attempts. The findings are automatically correlated to known adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) using MITRE ATT&CK mapping. Key benefits include rapid deployment across multiple servers, secure data handling with encrypted uploads to a cloud-based portal, and API availability for third-party integration. A case study illustrates its effectiveness, showing how a municipality detected and prevented brute force attacks, safeguarding sensitive data. With the evolving landscape of ransomware threats, Recon empowers organizations to shift from reactive to proactive defenses, enhancing data resilience and security.
