This integration addresses the pressing need for organizations to take an integrated approach to protecting their data backups and proactively responding to cyber threats through the capabilities offered by Veeam’s new Apps and Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM and Cortex XSOAR. With this new integration, the software company is the first Palo Alto Networks partner to independently design and develop a data collector, dashboards, and reports for Cortex XSIAM.

Cyber threats are a reality for every single organization. It takes teamwork to fight this escalating battle against ransomware. We are excited to integrate with Palo Alto Networks to provide customers with capabilities to further strengthen their data resilience,” said Dave Russell, SVP of strategy at Veeam. “This powerful integration enables our 550,000 customers to better protect their backups and respond to cyberattacks faster, tightening their security posture and helping to ensure reliable, rapid and trusted recovery.

In today’s digital landscape, ransomware attacks are on the rise, with 96% specifically targeting an organization’s backups according to the Veeam 2024 Ransomware Trends Report. This alarming reality poses a significant challenge for IT and security leaders worldwide. Traditional tools struggle to scale for large enterprises, resulting in a high volume of alerts and overwhelming manual processes for security teams.

To combat these challenges and fulfill customer demand, the 2 partners have integrated technology to centralize, scale, and automate data monitoring and incident response. By integrating Palo Alto Networks AI-driven security operations center (SOC) platform with Veeam’s recovery capabilities, organizations can identify and respond to cyberattacks faster, helping to ensure the resilience of their business-critical backup data.

We are thrilled to collaborate with Veeam, empowering organizations to respond and react more quickly to threats facing their critical data,” said Pamela Cyr, VP of technical partnerships at Palo Alto Networks. “By combining the power of Palo Alto Networks industry-leading AI-driven SOC platform with data resilience capabilities from Veeam we can help customers identify and respond to threats, ensuring the resilience of business-critical data. The new integration demonstrates our shared commitment to providing organizations with tools and technologies that help them proactively combat evolving cyber threats and strengthen their security posture.”

The integration introduces 2 new applications – the Veeam apps integrated with Cortex XSIAM and Cortex XSOAR that leverage a bi-directional API connection to monitor, detect, and respond to security incidents impacting critical business data and data backups. The Veeam app integrated with Cortex XSIAM brings data from Veeam Backup & Replication and VeeamONE environments into Cortex XSIAM, providing a centralized view of data and backup security-related activity. The Veeam App integrated with Cortex XSOAR enables regular API queries vs. Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam ONE, monitoring for significant security events or alerts. Both applications are included at no charge to Veeam Data Platform Advanced and premium customers.

Key customer benefits of the integration include:

  • Centralize security operations: Obtain a comprehensive view of security operations across the entire environment, including the Veeam environment, to stop threats and improve situational awareness.
  • Easily configure critical security systems: Simplify setup and installation of Veeam apps with pre-configured monitoring and security dashboards, helping to ensure smooth and efficient onboarding.
  • Automate incident investigation and response: Eliminate alert fatigue and speed up incident response with AI-powered automation to deliver real-time, automated response to potential security threats in Veeam environments.
  • Scale security strategy with automation and AI: Monitor enterprise-scale environments without overwhelming security teams with burdensome alerts and manual processes.
  • Help maintain compliance and regulatory requirements: Ensure efficient and effective incident management while meeting RTO, RPO, and supporting industry compliance regulations with automated ransomware recovery.

Many enterprises have over 100 security products, creating the necessary but very unwanted job of being a cybersecurity systems integrator. Veeam and Palo Alto Networks are looking to alleviate the integration burden with their new strategic partnership,”” said Frank Dickson, group VP IDC’s security and trust practice. “The pairing of Palo Alto Networks’ platforms with Veeam’s data resilience capabilities enables the proactive identification of cyber threats and the centralization and automation of data monitoring and incident response, thus comprehensively protecting business-critical data across the entirety of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.”

These new integrations will be highlighted as part of VeeamON Data Resilience Summit, taking place virtually on October 1 in EMEA and the Americas and on October 2 in Asia. Michal Goldshtein, director, security architecture and research at Palo Alto Networks, will highlight the new Veeam integrations and how they help customers before, during, and after ransomware threats. Event attendees will learn and discover how organizations of all sizes can keep their data secure, protected and accessible.
