The new Veeam Ransomware Warranty, which supplements the Veeam Data Platform, ensures Veeam customers that in the event of a ransomware attack, Veeam will cover the cost of data recovery up to $5 million. The Veeam Ransomware Warranty includes a 30-minute support SLA, a dedicated support account manager, quarterly health checks for best-practice operations, and optional design and installation services through a Veeam Accredited Service Provider for eligible users[2].
