Early Detection via Veeam Decoys

The Object First Honeypot traps bad actors by mimicking a Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) server and can be deployed in five clicks. This decoy attracts and identifies unauthorized users conducting scans, probes, or login attempts, and any unusual behavior triggers in-product alerts that can be sent via email or to a SIEM. Early warning and detection has never been easier.

Threat Intelligence with Zero Risk

Third-party penetration testing confirms that Honeypot introduces no additional risk to the Object First cluster or immutable backup data. The feature is logically isolated, providing threat intelligence without expanding the attack surface. This ensures that the decoy captures malicious activity, but the storage environment remains inaccessible and secure.
