Veeam Software, the #1 leader by market share in Data Resilience, announced a new integration with Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, to simplify security operations and strengthen data resilience. This integration addresses the pressing need for organizations to take an integrated approach to protecting their data backups and proactively responding to cyber threats through the capabilities offered by Veeam’s new Apps and Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM and Cortex XSOAR. With this new integration, Veeam is the first Palo Alto Networks partner to independently design and develop a data collector, dashboards, and reports for Cortex XSIAM.
“Cyber threats are a reality for every single organization. It takes teamwork to fight this escalating battle against ransomware. We are excited to integrate with Palo Alto Networks to provide customers with capabilities to further strengthen their data resilience,” said Dave Russell, SVP of Strategy at Veeam. “This powerful integration enables our 550,000 customers to better protect their backups and respond to cyberattacks faster, tightening their security posture and helping to ensure reliable, rapid and trusted recovery.”
In today’s digital landscape, ransomware attacks are on the rise, with 96% specifically targeting an organization’s backups according to the Veeam 2024 Ransomware Trends Report. This alarming reality poses a significant challenge for IT and security leaders worldwide. Traditional tools struggle to scale for large enterprises, resulting in a high volume of alerts and overwhelming manual processes for security teams.
To combat these challenges and fulfill customer demand, Veeam and Palo Alto Networks have integrated technology to centralize, scale, and automate data monitoring and incident response. By integrating Palo Alto Networks AI-driven security operations center (SOC) platform with Veeam’s industry-leading recovery capabilities, organizations can identify and respond to cyberattacks faster, helping to ensure the resilience of their business-critical backup data.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Veeam, empowering organizations to respond and react more quickly to threats facing their critical data,” said Pamela Cyr, VP of Technical Partnerships at Palo Alto Networks. “By combining the power of Palo Alto Networks industry-leading AI-driven SOC platform with data resilience capabilities from Veeam we can help customers identify and respond to threats, ensuring the resilience of business-critical data. The new integration demonstrates our shared commitment to providing organizations with tools and technologies that help them proactively combat evolving cyber threats and strengthen their security posture.”
The integration introduces two new applications – the Veeam apps integrated with Cortex XSIAM and Cortex XSOAR that leverage a bi-directional API connection to monitor, detect, and respond to security incidents impacting critical business data and data backups. The Veeam app integrated with Cortex XSIAM brings data from Veeam Backup & Replication™ and VeeamONE environments into Cortex XSIAM, providing a centralized view of data and backup security-related activity. The Veeam App integrated with Cortex XSOAR enables regular API queries against Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam ONE, monitoring for significant security events or alerts. Both applications are included at no charge to Veeam Data Platform Advanced and Premium customers.
