CrowdStrike and Veeam have partnered to deliver a powerful solution that enhances data security and boosts operational efficiency across an organization’s IT ecosystem
Veeam® Software, the global leader in Data Resilience, revealed an exciting new partnership with CrowdStrike, a top cybersecurity firm. This collaboration introduces an integration between the Veeam Data Platform and CrowdStrike’s Falcon® cybersecurity platform to provide centralized visibility of critical data and advanced threat detection. Together, Veeam and CrowdStrike aim to create a fortified environment for joint customers, enabling them to detect threats proactively, ensuring fast, secure recovery and long-term data resilience.
This partnership merges Veeam’s unmatched data resilience capabilities with CrowdStrike’s AI-powered cybersecurity platform, Falcon. The outcome is an end-to-end security solution that empowers organizations with comprehensive visibility into security threats, minimizing the impact of cyber incidents and preventing potential damage. The partnership rolls out with two new fully supported integrations:
-
Veeam App for CrowdStrike Falcon® LogScale
-
Veeam Data Connector for CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM
These integrations provide organizations with seamless access to Veeam Data Platform events directly within the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, creating a unified solution that enhances insights into system activity and security events. This integration helps IT and security teams detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats more efficiently.
A Unified Approach to Data Protection
John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer at Veeam, highlighted the importance of collaboration in cybersecurity. “We know that 89% of threat actors specifically target an organization’s backups, putting critical data recovery at risk,” he said. “Delivering comprehensive protection against these attacks requires strategic partnerships. That’s why we’re building strong integrations with industry leaders like CrowdStrike to ensure customers take a connected approach to cybersecurity and data resilience. We continue to enhance Veeam Data Platform security capabilities and integrations to ensure that an organization’s backups are clean and secure to recover from a ransomware attack. By combining Veeam Data Platform’s industry-leading malware detection, indicators of compromise (IoC) detection, and proactive threat assessments with CrowdStrike’s AI-powered capabilities, we help customers ensure their backups are secure and their data resilient.”
Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, emphasized the growing threat landscape. “The surge in cyber threats and ransomware attacks continues to put enterprise data at risk,” Bernard noted. “Our partnership with Veeam brings together best-in-class cybersecurity with industry-leading data resilience, giving joint customers a unified defense to reduce risk and ensure rapid recovery. By bringing Veeam Data Platform events into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, we’re delivering centralized visibility that empowers security and IT teams to respond faster and more effectively across the entire attack surface.”

Comprehensive Visibility and Accelerated Threat Detection
The integration brings Veeam Data Platform event data directly into Falcon LogScale and Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, offering deeper visibility and faster threat analysis. By combining Veeam’s backup insights with CrowdStrike’s threat intelligence, organizations gain real-time visibility across the enterprise and eliminate blind spots, reducing risk in their data and backup environments.
The Veeam App for Falcon LogScale includes built-in dashboards, automated data parsing, and proactive alerting to improve detection and response across the enterprise. It also adds support for Veeam Backup for Microsoft Entra ID, enhancing visibility into identity-based threats and data infrastructure activities.
Enhancing Security Operations
With predefined searches and scheduled alerts, security teams can swiftly identify relevant security events, enhancing threat-hunting and response efforts. The system leverages advanced AI and machine learning to perform real-time, low-impact scans during backups, detecting even the most subtle anomalies and malware. These proactive alerts give Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts the intelligence needed to accelerate incident response and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
Veeam’s Comprehensive Cyber Resilience Solution
Veeam Data Platform offers a robust, end-to-end cyber resilience solution, supporting organizations before, during, and after a cyber incident. The platform features proactive threat detection with the patent-pending Recon Scanner, which identifies potential ransomware threats before backups are initiated. During the backup process, Veeam provides defense-in-depth through inline entropy analysis, signature-based malware scanning, and IoC detection tools. Veeam also supports incident response by assessing attack scope and quickly identifying the last known good restore point using Veeam Threat Hunter. Moreover, Veeam Cyber Secure, in partnership with Coveware, offers expert support for ransomware assessment, negotiation, and recovery. This comprehensive approach helps reduce cyber risks, minimizes business disruption, and is now available for CrowdStrike users, offering complete protection across cloud, virtual, physical, enterprise applications, and unstructured data.
This strategic partnership between Veeam and CrowdStrike strengthens the security posture of businesses, ensuring they are better equipped to handle the growing threat of cyberattacks and data breaches.
