Advent Calendar Day 23: Enhanced RBAC in Veeam v13

Welcome to Day 23 of our Veeam Blog Advent Calendar! We’re almost at the finish line. Today we’re exploring enhanced Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Veeam Backup & Replication v13.

V13 released a massive overhaul to how RBAC works, and honestly the team went pretty hard here and got really granular. If you’ve been using Veeam for a long time, you’ll know RBAC needed a bit of work, and boy did they deliver in V13! That’s why I’m highlighting this now because it could be so easily missed if you don’t go back and check the roles.

Advent Calendar Day 10: YARA Scanning & Veeam Threat Hunter - Recovery Security

Welcome to Day 10 of our Veeam Blog Advent Calendar! Over the past two days, we’ve covered security before backup and during backup. Today, we’re tackling the “After” phase: ensuring your backups are clean and secure before you restore them back to production.

This is the final safety check. You’ve detected threats during backup, you’ve isolated infected systems, and now you need to restore operations. But how do you know the backup you’re about to restore is actually clean? What if malware slipped through? What if it’s been hiding in your backups for weeks?
