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, the #1 leader by market share in Data
Resilience, today announced a Splunk extension that 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.
Seventy-six percent of organizations suffered a ransomware
attack in the last year. Unfortunately, 93% of those attacks
explicitly targeted an organization’s data backups.i 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.
“Veeam is focused on powering data resilience for every customer
and this includes tight integration with the leading security
platforms,” said John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer at Veeam. “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.”
The app integrates seamlessly with Splunk user roles and
location management. This new Splunk App processes events sent by
Veeam Backup & Replication™ to the syslog server and provides
Splunk users with the following features:
- Built-in dashboards to monitor job statuses and security events
on a daily basis
- Built-in reports and alerts
- Severity level management for events and alerts
- Multiple Veeam Backup & Replication servers support
- Multiple data source locations support
- Role-based permissions for locations
- App configuration backup
"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. There can be no recovery if there are no backups,”
said Christophe Bertrand, Principal Analyst at SiliconANGLE Media,
Inc. | theCUBE Research & Advisory. “This requires a robust set
of tools and controls to deliver a truly secure backup
infrastructure. This is why the addition of the Veeam App for
Splunk to the already comprehensive set of tools Veeam offers is
key. With robust monitoring and security features and full
integration with Splunk user roles and location management,
end-users will be able to deliver dashboards, alerts, and reports.
With this new integration, we expect that Veeam users will not only
improve their cyber-recovery posture but also be in a great
position to deliver on cyber-recovery SLAs."
Veeam App for Splunk supports Splunk Enterprise 9.1.0 and later
and Splunk Cloud Platform 9.1.2308 and later, and is available now
via Splunkbase at https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/7312. Veeam App
for Splunk is free with a Veeam Data Platform Advanced or Premium
license that includes syslog event forwarding support. For more
