As Rick Said:

“I guarantee it will find something about your environment you didn’t know.”

This is quite true, with Natural Language- Based Reporting features, you will find something you miss in your environment. Like backup infrastructure observability:

Production Infrastructure Observability

Actionable Insights – In Your Own Language!

Indicators of Compromise (IoC) Detection

Built-in detection of the appearance of tools used by hackers for penetration, lateral movement, escalation of privileges, data exfiltration, etc.
Integrated into Veeam Threat Center
Provides scalable detection of IoC on all protected machines but does not go as deep as Recon software – basically opposite.
In an ideal world, users would use Recon to perform a deeper inspection of machines flagged by the IoC Detection functionality.

Veeam Threat Hunter

Built-in signature-based malware scanning engine with millions of signatures to check against
Industry-leading malware detection with real-time addition of signatures for newly discovered threats
Malware signatures are updated in real-time as new threats appear (every few hours)
Light and fast – finally, a malware scan that is usable at scale!
