Secure by design: your data protection toolbox

When you’re building a cybersecurity strategy, simply having an incident response plan coupled with a backup copy of your data is not enough. For true cyber resilience, you need security that’s built into your infrastructure from the start. You need built-in security to proactively protect your data where it resides, to detect attacks as soon as they happen, and to be able to quickly recover.   

That’s why we at NetApp are so focused on building in security right out of the box, so you have a powerful cyber-resilience toolbox without having to purchase expensive and complicated security add-ons. 

Having the right tools is important—but so is the ability to easily and effectively use them. NetApp® security features are designed to be intuitive and ready to use from day one, so you don’t have to spend your finite resources on managing them. And when you embed comprehensive protection into the storage core of your infrastructure, integrating and working with the surrounding layers, you can build true cyber resilience from the inside out. 

Let’s take a look inside your toolbox: 

• Encryption. Data encryption at rest and in flight is built in, protecting your data wherever it is. 

• Immutable NetApp Snapshot™ copies. Ransomware can attack your active files, but it can’t touch your immutable Snapshot copies, enabling you to recover quickly and confidently. 

• NetApp SnapLock® compliance software. For even more protection, SnapLock makes data indelible. Your critical information can’t be tampered with or deleted, enabling you to quickly recover from external and even insider attacks. 

• NetApp Autonomous Ransomware Protection with AI (ARP/AI). Our native ransomware detection engine flags suspicious activity, creates immediate Snapshot copies, and alerts you in real time if an attack occurs. 

• Multi-admin verification (MAV). No single administrator can make unwanted changes to your environment. Certain commands, such as deletions, require approval from multiple administrators, adding an extra layer of defense against both internal and external attacks.

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.
