Now for Cloud Connect customers:
Insider protection available
​Recently, there have been an increasing number of cases in which cyber criminals have targeted and destroyed backup files. They are particularly concerned with spying on the retention policies of organizations. In some cases, simply deleting the backup files is not enough. Instead, they also manipulate the production data and continuously upload it to a cloud target. As a result, the restore points can no longer be trusted because they may already contain corrupted data.
Our Veeam Cloud Connect solution protects you and your data particularly well against external attacks. With a cloud backup in our data center, your data backups are physically separated from your infrastructure.
But what if the attacker is already on your network?
A primary goal of attackers is to destroy backups and your ability to successfully recover from an attack. This approach increases the attackers' success in making ransom payments.
​
With the so-called Insider Protection, we offer our Cloud Connect customers a way to protect themselves from this threat.
Veeam Insider Protection allows you to restore an accidentally deleted backup chain, but most importantly protects you from malicious outside attacks.
Insider Protection provides an additional layer of security for backups, which is particularly useful in protecting against ransomware attacks. If a backup file is accidentally or intentionally deleted, it is stored in an air-gap directory that acts as a recycle bin. This isolated folder is not visible to you or public routing, ensuring that deleted files are not lost forever.
​How insider protection works
Insider Protection is a Veeam Cloud Connect specific feature that can ensure the safety of backups stored in Cloud Connect from mis-deletions or attacks on the customer's Veeam environment when remote data stored in Veeam Cloud Connect is intentionally deleted become; for example in ransomware attacks.
Since Veeam Cloud Connect is connected to the customer's Veeam console, any backup stored there is always visible and available to the end user. This is an advantage for legitimate use of the solution, but also allows an attacker who takes control of the console to delete these remote backups.
​
Veeam Cloud Connect cannot distinguish a legitimate user from an attacker; What it sees is an account with the correct credentials requesting deletion. And in this case, Cloud Connect obeys the command.
Insider protection can protect against this scenario. Essentially, you can think of it as Veeam Cloud Connect's recycle bin.
Protection from hackers
In the past, criminal IT attacks were mainly aimed at companies' primary data. Today, however, backup files are a popular target for ransomware attacks.
The lack of security and lack of proper backup programs make backup files a backdoor that makes it easily accessible. Once hackers gain access to these files, they may be able to erase all data.
​
According to the Federal Office for Information Security, ransomware has been one of the greatest threats to IT systems in Germany for years and is one of the most common types of attacks.
