This latest version introduces powerful new capabilities, including Microsoft Entra ID protection, proactive threat analysis tools, and AI-driven insights, all aimed at fortifying enterprise data resilience.
A New Era in Identity and Access Management Protection
With identity and access management (IAM) serving as the backbone of modern enterprise operations, Microsoft Entra ID has become an essential component for seamless business continuity. Recognizing this, Veeam Data Platform v12.3 introduces robust backup and recovery solutions for Entra ID, ensuring businesses can mitigate risks from cyber threats and misconfigurations with accelerated recovery and compliance tools. This builds on Veeam’s commitment to helping enterprises stay operational even in the face of identity-based attacks.
Cyber Resilience Elevated
Veeam Data Platform v12.3 brings an array of cybersecurity innovations designed to enhance threat detection and minimize downtime:
- Recon Scanner: Leveraging Coveware’s patent-pending technology, this tool proactively identifies potential adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), offering enterprises a first line of defense against ransomware and other threats.
- IoC Tools Scanner: This feature alerts organizations to the presence of indicators of compromise (IoCs), helping detect cybercriminal activity like lateral movement and exfiltration before an attack occurs.
- Veeam Threat Hunter: Equipped with machine learning and heuristic analysis, this tool scans for dormant malware in backups, ensuring that even advanced threats, including polymorphic malware, are detected and neutralized.
These tools significantly reduce detection time, empowering IT teams to act swiftly and protect their data assets proactively.
Advanced Data Protection with Nutanix AHV and Cloud Vault Integration
Expanded Nutanix AHV Protection: Veeam Data Platform v12.3 delivers comprehensive protection for Nutanix AHV environments, integrating application-aware processing and inline threat detection for seamless data resilience. Users benefit from simplified workflows and real-time analytics, eliminating the need for specialized expertise.
Integration with Veeam Data Cloud Vault v2: The platform now fully integrates with Veeam Data Cloud Vault, a secure, cloud-based storage service that adheres to Zero Trust Data Resilience (ZDTR) standards. This enables businesses to meet the 3-2-1-1-0 rule for data protection, ensuring immutable, encrypted, and air-gapped backups at predictable costs.
Generative AI for Intelligent Reporting
The inclusion of Veeam Intelligence, powered by Generative AI, elevates backup and data management with proactive insights and advanced reporting capabilities.
