According to the 2023 Global Report on Ransomware Trends, 93% of ransomware attacks specifically target backup data and infrastructure to destroy any possible recovery capabilities before initiating the attack, increasing the likelihood of securing a ransom payment. Immutability is not enough to protect your environment from cyber criminals. In fact, an attacker who gains access to your Veeam infrastructure can delete offsite replicated data, instantly eliminating your ability to utilize your disaster recovery plan.

Observr works by detecting anomalous activity within the environment they may indicate the presence of an attacker, such as suspicious changes to: job settings, retention, immutability, encryption, job tags, deletion events, RPO changes, incremental change rates, and many other factors. When threats are detected, Observr can send alerts via email, APIs, and integrations with 3rd party security platforms. Additionally, users have the option to configure Observr to automatically airgap offsite backup storage and disaster-recovery infrastructure to ensure they’re protected and can be utilized as a means for recovery.
