This segment takes a look into the Veeam roadmap from a security perspective, highlighting the fan favorite from VeeamON 2025 – the Veeam Software Appliance. A major upcoming innovation from Veeam is the new Veeam Software Appliance, a fan favorite from VeeamON 2025. This appliance runs the core Veeam platform on Rocky Linux, hardened with DISA STIG security standards, and is designed to be a purpose-built, highly secure backup infrastructure. It aims to significantly enhance the protection of the backup environment itself, moving towards a "secure by default" delivery model. Veeam will manage all security patching for these appliances, offering forced updates with scheduled timelines, thereby reducing the burden on customers for maintaining server security.
Another key future innovation is the introduction of universal continuous data protection (CDP), extending beyond current VMware capabilities to support physical systems and various hypervisors, with future targets including hyperscalers. This aims to provide near-instant recovery point objectives (RPOs) down to two seconds across diverse environments. While Veeam already supports CDP via VMware's VAIO Filter Driver, this new universal CDP will broaden its applicability across the entire ecosystem.
Finally, Veeam is exploring the integration of AI into its data fabric to unlock deeper insights from customer data, particularly for eDiscovery scenarios. This involves leveraging Veeam's extensive backup data to enable rapid querying and analysis that would otherwise take significantly longer. While still in early stages and requiring a public statement on responsible AI, this initiative promises attractive future capabilities in data intelligence. Veeam offers flexible licensing through its universal license (VUL) model, which simplifies pricing across various workloads, and their top-tier Veeam CyberSecure offering includes comprehensive capabilities and a ransomware recovery warranty.
