The NetApp cyber vault: Keeping your most critical data secure and intact

Cyberthreats are evolving at an unprecedented pace, and traditional data protection measures are no longer sufficient to keep your sensitive information secure. Perimeter defenses alone aren’t going to cut it with AI-driven attacks. Instead, you need solutions that minimize your attack surface and build an impenetrable barrier against cyberthreats, no matter what form they take.
That’s why we’ve created the NetApp® cyber vault.
What makes NetApp cyber vaulting different?
This solution combines advanced logical air-gapping techniques with robust data protection measures to isolate your most valuable data with secure hardening technology. This approach greatly reduces your attack surface, so that your most critical data remains confidential, intact, and readily available when you need it.
The NetApp cyber vault creates an isolated environment where a copy of your data is securely stored, using NetApp SnapLock® Compliance software so that your data is immutable— it can be written once but never modified. And with our flexible deployment and cost-effective storage options, cyber vaulting is an ideal solution for organizations of all sizes and industries.
How does the cyber vault work?
The NetApp cyber vault relies on two key concepts:
- WORM (write once, read many). Your data becomes immutable, protected from any alteration.
- SnapLock retention lock. This feature of NetApp ONTAP® means that your data is kept for a specific period, and it can’t be deleted or tampered with during that time.

Disclaimer: No ransomware detection or recovery system can completely guarantee safety from a ransomware attack. While it’s possible an attack might go undetected, NetApp technology acts as an important additional layer of defense.
