HotLink Corporation has released the beta program of its new cybersecurity solution for Veeam Cloud & Service Providers.
As a Veeam Alliance Partner, HotLink’s new solution will provide cybersecurity tools to identify, analyse and remediate a range of security threats that negatively impact disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) and backup as a service (BaaS) end users.
Veeam partners will be able to use the new cloud connect technology to offer their customers automated cyber analysis and actionable insights to fight vulnerabilities which leave backups unrecoverable following cyberattacks or production irregularities.
According to a study by Ponemon, two-thirds of SMEs reported their cyberdefense systems were bypassed by threats. In addition to this, 53 per cent were attacked by ransomware two or more times. HotLink stated that most threats can lay dormant and undetected for quite some time, and it hopes its new technology will help organisations to better protect themselves and identify threats quicker.
The company offers Veeam partners with security functions including continuous backup and replication of cybersecurity fingerprinting and analysis, with correlation to threat intelligence, and cybersecurity analysis around malware or ransomware outbreaks.
Storage Switzerland founder and president George Crump said, “Most organizations count on their backup solution to help them recover from advanced security threats and other cyber incidents,”
“As cyber threats become more sophisticated, it’s taking longer to identify breaches, and this inherently compromises the backup workloads and data that are required for recovery. No one has the time or resources to test every restore point in a sandbox environment.
“Rather, customers need the automated ability to analyze backup repositories for problem files and compromised data in a practical and cost-effective way. This is precisely what this new HotLink technology is designed to do.”
