The data resilience company Veeam has updated its Data Platform to version V13with new capabilities designed so that its users have more capabilities to combat threats, as well as more agility when recovering their information when they suffer a security incident.
Veeam Data Platform V13, with a refreshed user interface, is a solution that delivers advanced data protection, ransomware resilience, and AI-powered recovery across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. Among its main novelties is the direct integration of Refcon Scanner 3.0, powered by Coveware by Veeam. It is responsible for flagging suspicious behavior in response to threats on monitored endpoints. Including systematic attacks, suspicious file activity, and unexpected network connections.
In addition, it offers a triage tray that centralizes all suspicious activity. This tray prioritizes based on the severity of the threat, and provides detailed behavioral information. RefCon Scanner also integrates with Veeam ONE Threat Center to offer real-time analysis, as well as threat visualization, in security dashboards.
This element also has suppression rules and context-rich findings to facilitate threat classification and reduce fatigue caused by excessive alerts. It integrates with Microsoft Sentinel, which correlates Recon Scanner intelligence with broader threat signals, to unify threat detection, investigation and response. It also collects data from Veeam environments and maps the findings to the Miter ATT&CK framework for threat context.
Data Platform V13 also incorporates Veeam’s AI-based malware analysis agent, which automatically detects, classifies and reports malware and suspicious activities; as well as enhanced security, identity, and access controls, such as least privilege access and centralized authentication with SAML-based SSO.
By default, your backups are immutable, bringing the platform in line with anti-ransomware best practices, as well as protecting recovery points from unauthorized modifications.
This new version of the platform integrates with leading IT operations and security platforms, such as CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Splunk and ServiceNow, allowing detection, investigation and response to be unified.
With Veeam Data Platform V13, Veeam’s core foundation is strengthened, as it now also offers instant recovery of workloads directly to Microsoft Azure, and expanded hypervisor coverage. In this sense, compatibility with Scale Computing HyperCore is already available, and will soon be available with other platforms, such as HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, Citrix XenServer or XCP-ng.
Throughout 2026 will add support for OpenShift Virtualizationwith native backup and recovery of host-based virtual machines for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, based on existing support through Veeam Kasten.
Also Universal Hypervisor Integration Integration API Coming Next Yearan integration framework that allows any hypervisor vendor to natively integrate with Veeam backup and recovery capabilities through a standardized API.
