Free Splunk extension enables monitoring of Veeam backup environments with detailed dashboards, reports and alerts, reducing organizational risk and ensuring business continuity when cyber-attacks occur.
Veeam Software’s new Splunk extension allows Veeam Data Platform customers to monitor the health and security status of their Veeam backup infrastructure using Splunk capabilities. Free for enterprises with Veeam Data Platform Advanced or Premium licenses, the app enables Splunk customers to analyze Veeam events, monitor Veeam backup environments and provides access to alerts, dashboards and reports.
To reduce organizational risk and ensure business continuity when a cyber-attack occurs, it’s important to ensure an organization’s Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) solution (like Splunk) catches cyberthreats in any and every part of their system, including backups. Now, with the Veeam App for Splunk, security professionals can monitor their Veeam backup environments in the same single pane of glass as their other source environments with detailed dashboards, reports, and alerts.
“Now security professionals can use Splunk to closely monitor their Veeam backup environments through detailed dashboards, reports and alerts. Combatting cyber-attacks requires integration across your infrastructure, and the Veeam App for Splunk brings Veeam event data into Splunk, enabling customers to monitor security events like ransomware, accidental deletion, malware and other cyber threats using their current tools. It means enterprises can quickly and easily process vital monitoring and event data on their Veeam backup environments, in the same single pane of glass as other source environments they may be monitoring,” said John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer, Veeam.
In the constant fight against cyber-criminals and ransomware, it is key to “protect the protector,” which means securing the backup apparatus to make it impenetrable to hacking, adulteration, deletion, etc. The app integrates seamlessly with Splunk user roles and location management. With this new integration, Veeam users will not only improve their cyber-recovery posture but also be in a great position to deliver on cyber-recovery SLAs.
