Welcome to the \u201cLessi Learned\u201d Newsletter!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, the skies over Greece went eerily empty: for several hours, the entire Greek airspace was closed due to massive interference in air traffic control communication systems.<\/p>\n\n\n

While I happened to be flying back to Vienna at the time, fortunately already airborne and unaffected, the incident was a stark reminder that in any complex system, whether aviation or IT, clear control, visibility, and defined access are essential to prevent small issues from escalating into major disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this edition, I highlight two features (Role\u2011Based Access and the Veeam Recon Scanner) which provide essential visibility and control for your critical backup and disaster recovery systems. I hope you enjoy reading the Newsletter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recon Scanner now part of Veeam Dataplatform Advanced!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The year 2026 begins with exciting news: Recon Scanner is now included in the Veeam Data Platform Advanced Edition<\/strong>, extending a powerful security feature that was previously available only to Premium Edition customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recon Scanner is a proactive threat-detection capability that analyzes the Veeam Backup & Replication environment to identify suspicious activity and adversary techniques early. By leveraging ransomware intelligence and mapping behaviors to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, it helps security and IT teams quickly assess and prioritize potential risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, this enhancement clearly underscores Veeam\u2019s commitment to embedding advanced cybersecurity into its core data protection platform. Organizations already using the Advanced Edition have a great task for the start of the new year: review the Recon Scanner documentation, enable the feature, and take advantage of the significant security improvements it provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
