Infinidat launches Infinisafe ACP​​

​

Enterprise storage solutions leader Infinidat launches a new automated cyber resiliency and recovery solution to revolutionize how enterprises can minimize the impact of ransomware and malware attacks.

Automated Cyber Protection (ACP) is a first-of-its-kind cybersecurity integration solution that is designed to reduce the threat window of cyberattacks, such as ransomware.  The launch is particularly timely as sophisticated cyberattacks, including new sinister forms of AI-driven attacks, increasingly target the data storage infrastructure of enterprises.

The solution enables enterprises to easily integrate with their Security Operations Centres (SOC), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) cybersecurity software applications, and simple syslog functions for less complex environments.  A security-related incident or event triggers immediate automated immutable snapshots of data, providing the ability to protect InfiniBox® and InfiniBox™ SSA block-based volumes and/or file systems and ensure near instantaneous cyber recovery.

“The merging of cybersecurity and data infrastructure has been compelling CIOs, CISOs and IT team leaders to rethink how to secure enterprise storage across hybrid multi-cloud deployments in light of increasing cyberattacks.  Enterprises need proactive strategies, seamless integration across IT domains, and the most advanced, automated technologies to stay ahead of cyber threats,” says Eric Herzog, Chief Marketing Officer, Infinidat.

“Infinidat has carved out a very unique leadership position as the only storage vendor to offer an automated enterprise storage cyber protection solution that seamlessly integrates with cyber security software applications,” adds Chris Evans, Principal Analyst, Architecting IT.  “Infinidat’s newly launched InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection that easily meshes with the SIEM, SOAR or Security Operations Centres is exactly what enterprises need to include enterprise storage as a comprehensive approach to combat cyber threats.”

Infinidat’s new InfiniSafe ACP capability orchestrates the automatic taking of immutable snapshots of data, at the speed of compute, to stay ahead of cyberattacks by decisively cutting off the proliferation of data corruption.  “This proactive cyber protection technique is extremely valuable, as it enables taking immediate immutable snapshots of data at the first sign of a potential cyberattack,” continues Evans.  “This provides a significant advancement to ensure enterprise cyber storage resilience and recovery are integral to an enterprise’s cybersecurity strategy.  ACP enhances an enterprise’s overall cyber resilience by reducing the threat window and minimizing the impact of cyberattacks on enterprise storage environments.”

The InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection is one of the biggest innovations of the year in cybersecurity because it unlocks the full potential of an enterprise’s security posture and maximizes the investments that an enterprise has made in protecting the business.  By plugging into existing security mechanisms and continuous monitoring, InfiniSafe ACP bridges the gaps between enterprise storage and cybersecurity strategies that can transform the way CIOs and CISOs think about enterprise data infrastructures.

IT leaders have identified this ability to automate data snapshot commands and data pathways as critical to early detection and worry-free cyber recovery that minimises the effects of even the most vicious and deceptive cyberattacks of malicious actors.  An enterprise’s security team can put all its information from security operations through an enterprise storage intelligence grid to create the most sensitive triggers that often get missed by existing technologies and techniques.

“Infinidat has become synonymous with guaranteed cyber resilient storage and continues to deliver powerful solutions which solve critical cyber issues for enterprises and service providers around the globe,” comments Allen Shahdadi, Vice President of Global Sales, Sycomp.  “The InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection solution brings much needed capabilities to fight more effectively against cyberattacks.  The automatic capture of immutable snapshots of primary data could be the difference between your data being held to ransom and the rapid recovery of your data.  Before international cybercriminals, hackers and fraudsters can gain an advantage, Infinidat’s InfiniSafe reduces the threat window decisively.”
                                                                                                                                             
The InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection solution is the latest in a string of cybersecurity capabilities that Infinidat has brought forward to strengthen enterprise storage in the face of constant threats of a tsunami of cyberattacks.
