Veeam backup software

My employer, a large DOD contractor(un-named) found connection in Veeam R&D process to have connections to Russia. So we can’t use it anymore. Can anyone expand on this and provide more information? Curious if I should also consider it unwise to use at home?

On the other hand we have dropped Symantec endpoint protection/encryption completely and going with crowdstrike and trendmicro. Apparently, crowdstrike was very effective in protecting Hillary Clinton servers.
