Infinidat, a provider of enterprise storage solutions, marked the beginning of Cybersecurity Awareness Month by kicking off a campaign to raise awareness about the critical need for enterprises to increase their cyber resilience with next-generation data protection and recovery capabilities in the battle against cyberattacks.
Throughout the month of October, Infinidat will be contributing to awareness-building efforts across its social media channels about the emergence of cyber resilient storage as the last line of defence against ransomware and malware.
“As we embark into Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we’re excited to help enterprises better understand how to incorporate a cyber-centric, recovery-focused strategy with our InfiniSafe capabilities into their overall cybersecurity approach,” says Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat. “Cyber attacks have evolved to increasingly target enterprise storage infrastructure. However, the combination of cyber resilience and cyber security closes the gap and vastly improves the ability to mitigate the impact of cyber attacks, especially ransomware. Broader awareness of best practices in cyber resilience and cyber recovery will be one of the crowning achievements of this month dedicated to cyber security.”
Protecting data is one of the most critical actions an IT team must do in their data centre today, and expectations for restoring data and backing up data at multi-petabyte scale have changed. IT teams need to increase next-generation data protection capabilities, and there needs to be data integrity and high reliability with 100% availability, which Infinidat provides. Best practices require an enterprise to ensure data validity and near-instantaneous recovery of primary storage and backup repositories, regardless of the size. This accelerates digital disaster recovery when a cyberattack happens.
Krista Macomber, Research Director, Cybersecurity at The Futurum Group, comments, “Cyber security is established as a board-level priority. Given that, it is the data that attackers are after. CIOs and CISOs have begun to critically evaluate the cyber resilience of their organisation’s enterprise storage implementations. With this in mind, the need for cyber resilience has established new table-stakes criteria within the storage infrastructure. Strategic planning for capabilities, like Infinidat’s InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection that helps to mitigate data loss and downtime resulting from a cyber incident, has become critical.”
Bob Elliott, VP Strategic Alliances, at Mainline Information Systems, adds, “We’re seeing a growing focus on cyber resilience and rapid recovery in enterprise data infrastructure, especially against threats like ransomware. Adopting a recovery-first strategy helps protect businesses from massive cyber attacks. As IT leaders recognise the importance of next-gen data protection, we expect increased adoption of these solutions. In today’s security-driven landscape, boosting cyber resilience is essential for safeguarding storage systems.”
Core pillars of next generation data protection in a cyber-first architecture include: immutable snapshots, logical air-gapping, a fenced forensic environment, and near-instantaneous cyber recovery. These dimensions of cyber resilience are available within Infinidat’s core storage operating system. Moreover, the cyber resilient capabilities that complement, utilise, extend and enable these pillars include cyber detection and automated cyber protection.
Infinidat’s InfiniSafe suite provides extensive cyber resilience capabilities, including InfiniSafe Cyber Detection and InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection (ACP) along with the stack of all the core pillars of next-generation data protection. InfiniSafe provides secure, end-to-end capabilities to orchestrate with existing security solutions to detect, contain, mitigate and recover from a cyber attack.
