TL;DR

  • Veeam's Secure Restore integrates antivirus and YARA rule scanning directly into the VM recovery process to prevent reintroduction of threats after cyber attacks.
  • Administrators can restore virtual machines, NAS, file shares, and cloud workloads with granular options including disk-level, file-level, or application-level recovery.
  • The platform supports direct-to-cloud restore, providing flexibility when on-premises infrastructure is unavailable due to forensic investigations or insurance requirements.

Summary

This demonstration showcases Veeam Data Platform's Secure Restore capabilities for recovering virtual machines after a cyber attack without reintroducing threats. The video walks through the restore workflow, highlighting options for instant recovery of NAS, file shares, and virtual workloads with granular restore capabilities at the disk, file, or application level. A key focus is the Secure Restore function, which integrates antivirus scanning and YARA rule-based threat detection directly into the recovery process. Administrators can configure automated scanning to iterate through restore points until a clean backup is found, with options to disable network access or abort the restore if threats are detected. The demo also emphasizes the flexibility to restore directly to cloud environments, which is particularly valuable when on-premises infrastructure remains unavailable due to forensic investigations or cyber insurance requirements. The instant recovery process mounts read-only backups with delta disks for changes, allowing safe validation before migrating workloads to production.

Key Quotes

0:13 "One of the biggest challenges with a fast recovery is ensuring that you do not reintroduce the threat that took your environment down."
2:07 "For situations where antivirus may not be enough, security teams can leverage YARA rules to uncover threats that may exist within the system."
2:24 "To automate the process of finding the last clean backup, we can also select this check Box, which will iterate through all of the restore points until a clean one is found."
