1. Background
To get new signatures for Threat Hunter, the Veeam server needs to connect to the internet.
But most of our customers, like government offices, have servers that must stay completely offline for security required from the government.
We know there is an "offline" update method(*), but it doesn't work for our customers. That method still needs a second Veeam server that can go online, and our customers don't have one. And the method looks for only Windows infrastructures.
(*) Offline Update Veeam Threat Hunter | Veeam Community Resource Hubhttps://community.veeam.com/vug-south-e ... nter-10822
2. The Request
Our request is simple: Please give us a direct download link for the Threat Hunter update files.
If we had a link, we could use a separate, safe computer to download the files. Then, we could copy them over to the offline Veeam server.
This fix would solve the problem and would mean the main Veeam server never has to connect to the internet.

Hello,
we understand the problem, but there are legal reasons that prevent us from offering any offline updates for Veeam Threat Hunter.
Best regards

Re: Feature Request: Direct Download for Threat Hunter Signatures
Hello Hannes,
Would it be possible to provide the update files for Threat Hunter individually, for instance, through a partner portal?
Best regards,
Ryoma

Re: Feature Request: Direct Download for Threat Hunter Signatures
Hello,
a partner portal would have the same legal issue... it's about the end user license that is checked during update. We only provide Veeam Threat Hunter to customers with an active subscription.
Even if it was possible, how useful is that? I mean, the idea of Veeam Threat Hunter is to have a "second opinion" vs. the anti-virus product that is used in production. The signatures for all anti-virus products (including Veeam Threat Hunter) today are updated multiple times per day. Would anyone do that manually all the time?
Best regards
