Veeam App for Sentinel: Backup Intelligence in Your SOC
▼ Summary
– Veeam launched a new app for Microsoft Sentinel that integrates with Veeam Data Platform to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats and backup anomalies.
– The app addresses a visibility gap in security posture by bringing backup intelligence directly into SOC workflows, enabling real-time collaboration between IT and security teams.
– It provides actionable security intelligence by ingesting over 300 Veeam backup and security events, including ransomware detections and Recon Scanner findings mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
– Built-in automation features allow SOC teams to trigger restores, run malware scans, and launch remediation workflows instantly from within Microsoft Sentinel.
– The app is available at no additional cost for Veeam Data Platform Advanced and Premium customers via Microsoft Marketplace and Microsoft Sentinel Content Hub.
Veeam Software has officially launched its new Veeam App for Microsoft Sentinel, a powerful integration designed to enhance data resilience and operational efficiency within security operations centers. This solution bridges the Veeam Data Platform with Microsoft’s cloud-native SIEM, enabling organizations to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats and backup irregularities more effectively. As attacks increasingly focus on backup environments, many SOC teams struggle with visibility gaps that leave critical data recovery systems exposed. The new app directly addresses this vulnerability by embedding backup intelligence into security workflows, allowing IT and security personnel to collaborate in real time, identify threats sooner, and coordinate rapid responses.
The deep integration between Veeam and Microsoft Sentinel brings essential backup, threat, and ransomware intelligence directly into security operations. Teams can now monitor Veeam backup events, including adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures identified by Veeam Recon Scanner, alongside other security alerts. With bi-directional automation and flexible connectivity, SOC analysts can enrich incident data, initiate restores, and automate recovery processes without leaving the Microsoft Sentinel environment.
John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer at Veeam, emphasized that data resilience forms the cornerstone of modern cybersecurity. He noted that the Veeam App for Microsoft Sentinel merges data resilience with security intelligence, giving organizations immediate insight into backup security events, suspicious behaviors, and ransomware risks. This capability ensures that SOC teams can take decisive action to keep data secure and recoverable, regardless of the threats they encounter.
Key capabilities of the Veeam App for Microsoft Sentinel include:
Actionable security intelligence: The app processes more than 300 distinct Veeam backup and security events, such as job failures, suspicious actions, ransomware alerts, and Recon Scanner results, mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This supports proactive threat identification and marks Veeam’s first SIEM integration to expose adversary TTPs, offering early signals of potential compromise.
Automated response: Built-in playbooks and bi-directional API links let SOC teams initiate restorations, conduct malware scans, and launch remediation workflows directly from Microsoft Sentinel. This automation accelerates response times and cuts down on manual tasks.
Unified visibility: Native dashboards inside Microsoft Sentinel display critical backup and security metrics, including threat detections, restore operations, and job status, alongside existing SOC data. This consolidated perspective speeds up investigations and supports stronger compliance.
Integrated IT and security collaboration: By unifying IT and security workflows inside the SOC, the app breaks down operational silos. It enhances teamwork, shortens investigation cycles, and strengthens defenses against ransomware.
Veeam’s integrations with leading security tools expand visibility into backup data, sharpen threat detection, and automate incident handling. The company’s focus on modern data protection now extends smoothly into the Microsoft Sentinel environment, helping enterprises defend against cyberattacks and maintain data resilience amid growing digital complexity.
The Veeam App for Microsoft Sentinel is available at no extra charge to Veeam Data Platform Advanced and Premium subscribers through the Microsoft Marketplace and Microsoft Sentinel Content Hub.
