Arms Cyber, a provider of stealth-based ransomware defense solutions, has announced a new technology partnership with Veeam Software, the Data and AI Trust company. Through this collaboration, both companies aim to strengthen cyber resilience by directly integrating their platforms to automatically detect, flag, and isolate backup restore points that contain ransomware threats. As a result, organizations can significantly reduce recovery times while preventing the accidental restoration of infected data.
Ransomware attacks have become increasingly sophisticated, with attackers frequently targeting backup systems as part of their strategy. In many cases, malicious actors remain hidden inside enterprise environments for weeks before launching their attacks. Consequently, recent backups often contain dormant ransomware. When IT teams attempt to restore operations quickly, they may unknowingly reintroduce malware into the network, creating what experts describe as a “reinfection loop.” This cycle not only delays recovery but also increases operational disruption and financial losses.

To address this growing challenge, Arms Cyber integrated its ransomware detection technology directly with the Veeam Data Platform using REST API capabilities. This integration enables Arms Cyber to function as an advanced sensor within the backup environment. Therefore, when ransomware activity is detected on a protected workload, the system immediately communicates with the Veeam platform to prevent compromised restore points from being used.
Specifically, Arms Cyber automatically triggers the Veeam Incident API when it identifies a ransomware threat. This action instantly marks affected restore points in the Veeam console as compromised. As a result, backup administrators receive immediate alerts and can avoid restoring infected files. This automated response not only improves recovery accuracy but also ensures organizations restore only clean and secure data.
“The old paradigm of security teams handling detection while IT teams handle separate recovery tools is failing customers during real-world crises,” said Bob Kruse, CEO at Arms Cyber. “Our mission is to move beyond simple alerting by taking automated action. By integrating with Veeam, we aren’t just telling you that you have ransomware; we are physically interlocking with your backup system to ensure you don’t restore the infection. This is what true cyber resilience looks like.”

Furthermore, this partnership highlights the increasing importance of integrating cybersecurity and backup infrastructure into a unified defense strategy. Traditionally, detection and recovery tools operated separately, which created gaps during incident response. However, by connecting detection directly with backup controls, organizations can respond faster and more effectively to ransomware incidents.
Ultimately, the Arms Cyber and Veeam integration helps enterprises strengthen their recovery processes, minimize downtime, and eliminate the risk of reinfection. As ransomware continues to evolve, automated and integrated recovery protection solutions like this will play a critical role in ensuring secure and reliable business continuity.
