Veeam Azure backup appliance - operating system security

[sumeet]

Hello Team,

May I request to get some details on how the Ubuntu OS in the backup appliance is hardened against potential security exploitation?
I have checked the documentation - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbazu ... ml?ver=8.1
And do not find any details on how the OS modified or updated to ensure it is not easily exploited.
Example, are the default FW within the OS configured, etc etc

Also does the same apply to the workers?

Hi Sumeet,

There is no official hardening implemented however the firewall can be managed via Azure security. We have a list of our required ports and required Azure Services.

Security updates are handled via the built-in updater so you can keep the system up to date that way.
