As enterprises increasingly confront challenges related to AI innovation, data modernisation, cyber resilience, and cloud transformation, the need for a secure and reliable data infrastructure has never been more pressing.
With rising investments in AI (per UBS report) creating new opportunities, there is also a corresponding increase in attack surfaces.
NetApp aims to address these concerns by embedding cyber resilience directly into its data storage solutions, enabling organisations to better protect their most valuable asset: data.
To this end, NetApp has introduced new capabilities within its Ransomware Resilience service. This reinforced service now includes data breach detection integrated into enterprise data storage, making it a crucial component of comprehensive security strategies for organisations across Asia.
“To effectively protect your data from a cyberattack, you need to know it happened as early as possible to take action,” stated Gagan Gulati, senior vice president and general manager of data services at NetApp. He emphasised the importance of early detection, noting that the newly introduced AI-powered capabilities can identify indicators of data exfiltration attempts.
This proactive approach allows organisations to act swiftly, thereby reducing the potential impact of cyber threats.
The newly enhanced Ransomware Resilience service simplifies the protection and recovery of ONTAP workloads from ransomware attacks, making it accessible even for those without deep security expertise. It now includes two key features: data breach detection and isolated recovery environments.
The data breach detection capability leverages AI to spot anomalous user and file system behaviours, alerting customers through their security information and event management (SIEM) systems. This early warning system equips organisations with the necessary forensics to take decisive action against potential breaches.
Complementing this, the isolated recovery environments ensure that data recovery is safe and free from malware. Using proprietary AI scanning, the service identifies compromised data and guides customers through the restoration process, significantly reducing the risk of reinfection.
