Infinidat Revolutionizes Enterprise Cyber Storage Protection to Reduce Ransomware and Malware Threat Windows

Infinidat, a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, has launched a new automated cyber resilience solution that will revolutionize the way businesses can mitigate the impact of ransomware and malware attacks. Infinidat’s InfiniSafe® Automated Cyber Protection (ACP) it’s a A first-of-its-kind integrated cybersecurity solution designed to reduce the threat window for cyber-attacks, such as ransomware. Sophisticated cyber attacks, including new types of malicious AI-driven attacks, are increasingly targeting the data storage infrastructure of enterprises.

Infinidat’s InfiniSafe ACP enables enterprises to easily integrate Security Operations Centers (SOC), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) cybersecurity applications, and operations for simple syslog for complex environments. A security-related incident or event triggers immediate automatic immutable snapshots of data, providing the ability to protect InfiniBox® and InfiniBox™ SSA-based volumes and/or files and ensure immediate Internet availability.

“The convergence of cybersecurity and data infrastructure has forced CIOs, CISOs and IT team leaders to rethink how they can protect enterprise storage across all types of cloud computing due to increased cyber attacks. Businesses need proactive strategies, seamless integration across IT domains, and more advanced, automated technology to stay ahead of cyber threats,” said Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat. Known as an expert in secure online storage, Herzog comes from participating in a series of cyber security panel discussions, roundtables and conference events.

“Infinidat has carved out a unique leadership position as the only storage vendor that offers an automated enterprise cyber security solution that seamlessly integrates with cybersecurity software applications,” said Chris Evans, Principal Analyst at Architecting IT. “Infinidat’s newly launched InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection that easily integrates with SIEM, SOAR or Security Operations Centers is exactly what businesses need to deploy enterprise storage as a comprehensive approach to combating cyber threats.”

Infinidat’s new InfiniSafe ACP capability plans to automatically take irreversible snapshots of data, at computational speed, to stay ahead of cyber-attacks by strictly cutting the risk of data corruption.

Evans added, “This proactive cyber security approach is critical, as it enables taking irreversible snapshots of data at the onset of a cyber attack. This provides an important step forward in ensuring enterprise Internet storage resilience and resiliency is part of a business’s Internet security strategy. ACP improves overall business resilience on the Internet by reducing the threat window and reducing the impact of cyber attacks on enterprise security environments.”

InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection is one of the biggest innovations of the year in cyber security because it unlocks the full potential of the business security posture and increases the investment made by the business in protecting the business. By connecting to existing security methods and continuous monitoring, InfiniSafe ACP bridges the gap between enterprise storage and cyber security strategies that can transform the way CIOs and CISOs think about enterprise data infrastructure.

Information technology leaders have identified this ability to automate data summaries commands and data paths as critical to early detection and worry-free online information recovery that mitigates the effects of malicious and highly insidious cyber attacks by malicious actors. An enterprise security team can input all of its information from security operations through an enterprise storage intelligence grid to create highly sensitive triggers that are often missed by existing technology and techniques.

Paul Rapier, VP of Information Technology at the Detroit Pistons, said, “Infinidat’s efforts to improve cyber resiliency for businesses, particularly with InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection, are critical to data security.”

Allen Shahdadi, Sycomp’s Vice President of Global Marketing, said, “Infinidat has become synonymous with certified cyber-resistant storage. Infinidat continues to deliver powerful solutions that solve critical cyber issues for businesses and service providers around the world. The InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection solution delivers much-needed capabilities to effectively combat cyber attacks. Automatic capture of immutable snapshots of master data can be the difference between your data being held to ransom and a quick recovery of your data. Before international cybercriminals, hackers and fraudsters can take advantage, Infinidat’s InfiniSafe reduces the window of threats clearly.”

The InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection solution is the latest in a series of cybersecurity capabilities that Infinidat has brought forward to strengthen business security in the face of the ever-present threats of a tsunami of cyber attacks. Infinidat also unveiled the following extensions to its state-of-the-art cyber resilience capabilities:

VMware’s InfiniSafe Cyber Detection – Access to InfiniSafe’s cyber resilience capabilities to combat cyber attacks has been extended to VMware environments. The impact of a cyberattack can be easily determined with this cyber discovery capability, with detailed information by using AI and machine learning whether the VMware datastore and the VMs they host are damaged or not.
InfiniSafe Cyber Detection by InfiniGuard® – Cyber recovery will be extended to InfiniGuard’s purpose-built backup tool to help businesses resist and quickly recover from cyber attacks. This proven capability provides highly intelligent scanning and targeting for signs of cyber threats in backup environments, helping to ensure data integrity. An improved version will be available in 2H 2024.

As a leader in secure online storage, Infinidat first unveiled its InfiniSafe software-based platform two years ago with a set of cybersecurity functions. This solution has won many awards and has been proven by the world’s largest enterprises. The comprehensive cyber resiliency capabilities of InfiniSafe technology improve a business’s ability to combat and protect against ever-increasing attacks and data breaches by uniquely integrating immutable snapshots, logical air gap, fenced/separated networks, and rapid data recovery into a single, high-performance platform.

InfiniSafe ACP is the latest example of Infinidat’s innovation. It was launched alongside the launch of the next-generation InfiniBox G4 family of all-flash storage and hybrid configurations. The G4 series is a completely new storage family built from the ground up that greatly expands the durability of Infinidat’s cyber storage and delivers up to 2.5x improvements in performance. The InfiniBox G4 series introduces a new set of features, powered by InfuzeOS, Infinidat’s software-defined storage operating system.
