Recon Scanner for Veeam Data Platform: Unveiling the Future of Proactive Threat Assessment

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 From Risk to Resilience: 2025 Ransomware Trends and Proactive Strategies, 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 the Veeam Cyber Secure program, an elite-level service that includes architectural design, technical support, implementation services and security assessment checks to ensure our customers remain protected and resilient. Veeam Cyber Secure also includes training sessions 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.

Our ransomware related training sessions provide 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 defences.

This technology is designed to identify, help triage, and prevent cyberattacks.

Proactive Threat Assessment

With the Recon Scanner as a feature of Veeam Data Platform, customers can proactively identify threats before they can cause damage. By scanning Veeam environments Recon Scanner collects data and recognizes suspicious activity and TTPs, organizations can proactively take defensive and mitigation actions.

This innovative approach to protect Veeam Data Platform is a first in the data protection market. No other data protection platform vendor offers this cutting-edge technology. Veeam Data Platform Premium customers have Recon Scanner available at no additional cost.

Veeam Data Platform Security

Veeam recently committed to CISA’s Secure by Design Pledge, reinforcing the adoption of our security best practices.

One of the standout additions is the Recon Scanner, which is a unique and innovative proactive protection for Veeam 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, Recon Scanner can identify unexpected network connections, unusual user behavior, suspicious file activity, data exfiltration attempts, and even potential brute force attacks among other threats. By collecting data and then mapping it to corresponding adversary TTP, Recon Scanner can alert users of high-severity or critical findings that could result on the execution of exfiltration or encryption. The unpredictability of dwell time — the period between compromise and attack — makes traditional threat detection and mitigation challenging. With Recon Scanner, Veeam Data Platform users can rely on a security tool backed by years of experience within the platform and proactively take actions based on detailed timelines and findings to evaluate the risks.

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.
