How to detect and respond to a threat in real time

We all know that cyberthreats are growing in number, scope, and severity every year. But with AI enhancements making attacks all the more sophisticated, the barrier of entry is dramatically decreasing. So, it’s easier than ever to carry out extremely fast, extremely sophisticated attacks against organizations across all sectors. The level of skills and experience that’s required to perform a ransomware attack is low, and it’s getting lower. Therefore, cybercriminals now focus on improving efficiency with AI to maximize their profits and to accelerate their cyberattacks.

So, how do you fight AI-powered attacks? With AI-powered security.

When it comes to protecting your data from advanced ransomware threats, storage is your last line of defense. The industry-leading, built-in NetApp^® Autonomous Ransomware Protection feature, now powered by AI (ARP/AI), protects your data at the storage layer to safeguard your critical assets.

Our ransomware protection solutions are secure by design, giving you real-time detection and response capabilities that help you recover faster if you experience a ransomware attack.

With the comprehensive ransomware detection capabilities that are built into NetApp storage, you can detect ransomware attacks within seconds. Compared with competitive solutions that have an “outside-in” approach to ransomware protection, NetApp gives you exponentially more security when every second counts in safeguarding files in your datasets.

NetApp ARP/AI uses AI models that have been trained on 1.7 million data points, including 750,000 ransomware files and over a million known good files. This deep training gives you real-time, automatic detection so that any suspicious activity is flagged immediately.

And our security solutions don’t stop at detection. You can track user behavior, monitor metadata changes, and build profiles to quickly identify compromised accounts. Whether it’s blocking a user, creating a NetApp Snapshot™ copy, or raising an alert, the system provides automated responses to contain the threat.

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.
