Waltham, MA, June 27, 2024, CyberNewsWire
Unending, a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, has introduced a new automated cyber resilience and recovery solution that will revolutionize how businesses can minimize the impact of ransomware and malware attacks. Infinidats InfiniSafe® automated cyber protection (ACP) is a the first-of-its-kind cybersecurity integration solution designed to reduce the threat window of cyber-attacks such as ransomware. Advanced cyber attacks, including new sinister forms of AI-driven attacks, are increasingly targeting enterprise data storage infrastructure.
Infinidat’s InfiniSafe ACP enables enterprises to easily integrate with their Security Operations Centers (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 data snapshots, providing the ability to protect InfiniBox® and InfiniBox™ SSA block-based volumes and/or file systems and ensure near-instant cyber recovery.
“The convergence of cybersecurity and data infrastructure has prompted CIOs, CISOs and IT team leaders to rethink how to secure enterprise storage in hybrid multi-cloud deployments in the face of increasing cyber-attacks. Businesses need proactive strategies, seamless integration across IT domains and the most advanced, automated technologies to stay ahead of cyber threats,” said Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat. Recognized as an expert in cyber-secure storage, Herzog has participated in a series of cybersecurity panel discussions, roundtables and conference events.
“Infinidat has established a very unique leadership position as the only storage vendor offering an automated cyber protection solution for enterprise storage that integrates seamlessly with cybersecurity software applications,” said Chris Evans, principal analyst at Architecting IT. “Infinidat’s recently launched InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection, which easily integrates with the SIEM, SOAR or Security Operations Centers, is exactly what companies need to incorporate enterprise storage as a comprehensive approach to combating cyber threats.”
Infinidat’s new InfiniSafe ACP capability orchestrates the automatic creation of immutable snapshots of data, at the speed of computers, to stay ahead of cyber attacks by decisively cutting off the proliferation of data corruption.
Evans added: “This proactive cyber defense technique is extremely valuable as it allows for instantaneous immutable data snapshots to be taken at the first sign of a potential cyber attack. This provides significant progress in ensuring that cyber storage resilience and recovery are an integral part of an enterprise’s cybersecurity strategy. ACP improves an enterprise’s overall cyber resilience by narrowing the threat window and minimizing the impact of cyber attacks on enterprise storage environments.”
The InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection is one of the year’s biggest innovations in cybersecurity, as it unlocks the full potential of an enterprise’s security posture and maximizes the investments an enterprise has made in protecting its business. By tapping into existing security mechanisms and continuous monitoring, InfiniSafe ACP bridges the gap between enterprise storage and cybersecurity strategies that can change the way CIOs and CISOs think about enterprise data infrastructures.
Information technology leaders have identified this ability to automate data snapshot commands and data paths as critical to early detection and worry-free cyber recovery that minimizes the effects of even the most vicious and deceptive cyber attacks from malicious actors. An enterprise’s security team can place all information from security operations through an enterprise storage intelligence grid to create the most sensitive triggers that are often overlooked by existing technologies and techniques.
Paul Rapier, VP of Information Technology at the Detroit Pistons, stated: “Infinidat’s efforts to increase enterprise cyber resilience, especially through the new InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection, are remarkable in terms of data security.”
Allen Shahdadi, Vice President of Global Sales at Sycomp, said: “Infinidat has become synonymous with assured cyber-resilient storage. Infinidat continues to deliver powerful solutions that solve critical cyber problems for enterprises and service providers around the world. The InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection solution provides the much-needed capabilities to fight cyber attacks more effectively. Automatically capturing immutable snapshots of primary data can mean the difference between your data being held to ransom and your data being restored quickly. Before international cybercriminals, hackers and fraudsters can gain an advantage, Infinidat’s InfiniSafe significantly reduces the threat window.”
The InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection solution is the latest in a series of cybersecurity capabilities that Infinidat has brought forward to strengthen enterprise storage in the face of the ongoing threat of a tsunami of cyber attacks. Infinidat also unveiled the following expansions of its state-of-the-art cyber-resilience capabilities:
- InfiniSafe Cyber Detection for VMware – Access to InfiniSafe’s cyber resilience capabilities to combat cyber attacks has been expanded to VMware environments. The impact of a cyber attack can be easily determined through this cyber detection capability, with highly detailed insights using AI and machine learning, regardless of whether or not a VMware data store and the VMs they contain have been compromised.
- InfiniSafe Cyber Detection for InfiniGuard® – Cyber detection will be extended to InfiniGuard’s purpose-built backup appliance to help businesses resist and quickly recover from cyber attacks. This proven capability provides highly intelligent scanning and indexing to identify signs of cyber threats in backup environments, ensuring data integrity. The improved version will be available in the second half of 2024.
A leader in cyber-resilient storage, Infinidat first unveiled its software-based InfiniSafe platform two years ago with a suite of cybersecurity features. This solution has won numerous awards and has been proven by major international companies. InfiniSafe technology’s comprehensive cyber resilience capabilities enhance an enterprise’s ability to combat and protect against ever-increasing cyber attacks and data breaches through uniquely immutable snapshots, logical air-gapping, gated/isolated networks, and near-instantaneous data recovery into a single, powerful platform.
The InfiniSafe ACP is the latest example of Infinidat’s wider innovation. It was introduced alongside the launch of the InfiniBox G4 family of next-generation storage arrays for all-flash and hybrid configurations. The G4 Series is a completely new family of storage arrays built from the ground up that significantly increases Infinidat’s cyber storage resiliency and delivers up to 2.5x better performance. The InfiniBox G4 series introduces a new set of foundational elements powered by InfuzeOS, Infinidat’s software-defined storage operating system.
