Beyond Availability – Forensic Backup Scanning with Veeam and THOR

This report outlines how integrating Veeam with Nextron’s THOR enables forensic scanning of backups to ensure recovered systems are not re-infected with attacker tools, persistence, or misconfigurations. It highlights the value of scanning data at rest with custom IOCs to detect artefacts missed by traditional AV/EDR, and details practical use cases including ransomware incident recovery, APT response and clean-environment migrations, compliance evidence for backup integrity, and proactive, centralized scanning that avoids load on production systems.
