Veeam Backup & Replication is a comprehensive data protection solution known for its robust backup, recovery, and replication capabilities, ensuring the secure and efficient management of data across various environments for businesses and organizations.

Supported versions

This integration supports the following versions:

  • 12
  • 12.1

Configure

This setup guide will show you how to forward your Veeam logs to Sekoia.io by means of a syslog transport channel.

Prerequisites

An internal log concentrator is required to collect and forward events to Sekoia.io.

Enable syslog forwarding

To enable syslog forwarding:

  1. Open the burger menu in the Veeam Backup & Replication Console and select Options.

    step_1.png

  2. In the Options dialog, select the Event Forwarding tab.

    step_2.png

  3. Add a new syslog server.

    step_3.png

  4. Enter the log concentrator's address and port, then select the transport protocol you need.

    step_4.png

Create an intake

Go to the intake page and create a new intake from the Veeam Backup format.

Forward logs to Sekoia.io

Please consult the Syslog Forwarding documentation to forward these logs to Sekoia.io.

Raw Events Samples

In this section, you will find examples of raw logs as generated natively by the source. These examples are provided to help integrators understand the data format before ingestion into Sekoia.io. It is crucial for setting up the correct parsing stages and ensuring that all relevant information is captured.

Detection section

The following section provides information for those who wish to learn more about the detection capabilities enabled by collecting this intake. It includes details about the built-in rule catalog, event categories, and ECS fields extracted from raw events. This is essential for users aiming to create custom detection rules, perform hunting activities, or pivot in the events page.

The following Sekoia.io built-in rules match the intake Veeam Backup. This documentation is updated automatically and is based solely on the fields used by the intake which are checked against our rules. This means that some rules will be listed but might not be relevant with the intake.

SEKOIA.IO x Veeam Backup on ATT&CK Navigator

Cryptomining

Detection of domain names potentially related to cryptomining activities.

  • Effort: master
Dynamic DNS Contacted

Detect communication with dynamic dns domain. This kind of domain is often used by attackers. This rule can trigger false positive in non-controlled environment because dynamic dns is not always malicious.

  • Effort: master
Exfiltration Domain

Detects traffic toward a domain flagged as a possible exfiltration vector.

  • Effort: master
RSA SecurID Failed Authentification

Detects many failed attempts to authenticate followed by a successfull login for a super admin account.

  • Effort: advanced
Remote Access Tool Domain

Detects traffic toward a domain flagged as a Remote Administration Tool (RAT).

  • Effort: master
Sekoia.io EICAR Detection

Detects observables in Sekoia.io CTI tagged as EICAR, which are fake samples meant to test detection.

  • Effort: master
TOR Usage Generic Rule

Detects TOR usage globally, whether the IP is a destination or source. TOR is short for The Onion Router, and it gets its name from how it works. TOR intercepts the network traffic from one or more apps on user’s computer, usually the user web browser, and shuffles it through a number of randomly-chosen computers before passing it on to its destination. This disguises user location, and makes it harder for servers to pick him/her out on repeat visits, or to tie together separate visits to different sites, this making tracking and surveillance more difficult. Before a network packet starts its journey, user’s computer chooses a random list of relays and repeatedly encrypts the data in multiple layers, like an onion. Each relay knows only enough to strip off the outermost layer of encryption, before passing what’s left on to the next relay in the list.

Event Categories

The following table lists the data source offered by this integration.

Data Source Description
Application logs Application activities from the VM are collected and saved
File monitoring Monitor files and devices activities
Network device logs Network activities from the VM are collected and saved
Services VM services activities are collected and saved

Transformed Events Samples after Ingestion

This section demonstrates how the raw logs will be transformed by our parsers. It shows the extracted fields that will be available for use in the built-in detection rules and hunting activities in the events page. Understanding these transformations is essential for analysts to create effective detection mechanisms with custom detection rules and to leverage the full potential of the collected data.
