„Your Last Line of Defense“ against ransomware
Blocky protects Windows-based backup data on the last possible line of defence.
Blocky enables ‘Zero Trust’ security for your Veeam backup.
Why do you need Blocky?
- Modern Trojans specifically search for particularly valuable data, e.g. Veeam backup data.
- Conventional protection methods such as virus scanners are incomplete.
- Blocky can protect against damage even if a virus has penetrated the Windows system.
How does Blocky work?
Blocky takes a ‘fingerprint’ of each process and prevents write access if the ‘fingerprint’ is not explicitly released for this process.
Only the backup application Veeam is ‘white listed’ with its fingerprint and can therefore delete or change data.

FAQ
Why do I need Blocky?
We recommend Blocky if you use Veeam® as your backup solution and are concerned about the security of your backup data from malware and ransomware attacks.
How does Blocky work?
Blocky is specifically designed to work with Veeam® to protect backup data by creating a hardened, zero-trust backup environment. Blocky automatically creates an application fingerprint for each trusted Veeam process, ensuring that only Veeam® has full access to critical backup data, making it a secure and reliable solution against ransomware.
What protects Blocky?
Blocky protects Veeam backup volumes. Veeam users should protect their backup volumes with Blocky for Veeam to ensure cyber resilience. In the event of an encryption attack, the backup remains intact and enables the infected servers and data to be restored quickly. The files from other backups such as Veeam Backup Copy Jobs and Veeam Scale-Out Repositories can also be protected with Blocky for Veeam.
Which versions of Veeam® are supported by Blocky?
Blocky is compatible with all current Veeam versions.
Which Windows operating systems are supported?
Blocky supports Windows Server 2012, 2016, 2019 and 2022.
