Security myths debunked
The ultimate defense against ransomware starts here
Keep your data secure, outpace cyber threats, and recover faster with advanced ransomware protection.
Redefining ransomware defense with NetApp
Ransomware attacks are evolving every day to outsmart conventional defenses.
NetApp fills this gap with built-in, real-time, AI-powered ransomware detection and response for block workloads, NetApp transforms SAN storage into a powerful line of defense.
Why settle for partial protection when you can secure your data from the inside out with NetApp?
Breaking down myths about ransomware defense
Myth 1: Perimeter defenses block all threats
Firewalls, VPNs, and IAM tools alone can’t stop modern ransomware or insider threats that slip through via phishing, stolen credentials, or misconfigurations.
NetApp secures your data at the storage layer, where it actually resides. Even if attackers breach the perimeter, built-in protections like immutable snapshots, AI-powered threat detection, and access auditing keep your data safe and recoverable.
Myth 2: Backups alone are enough for data security.
Got a backup best practice in place? Great, you are half-way there to secure your data. If ransomware has reached your backups it may be too late. NetApp has built-in ransomware detection and automated response for primary storage. Unlike other storage vendors, NetApp is focused on primary storage and building proprietary security capabilities that are built-in, not bolted on.
Myth 3: Identity security fully mitigates risks
Identity and access management (IAM) is crucial, but it doesn’t stop threats that operate below the application layer - like ransomware encrypting files directly on storage volumes. IAM can’t detect or stop malicious activity once access is granted.
NetApp embeds real-time ransomware detection and response directly into primary storage . Our capabilities detect abnormal behavior, isolate affected volumes and enable rapid rollback to clean data - all without relying solely on identity controls or adding to your tool sprawl.
Myth 4: Ransomware only affects non-critical data.
Many organizations underestimate ransomware, assuming it only targets non-critical data. In reality, attacks can cripple vital systems like customer databases or financial platforms, leading to major disruptions, reputational damage, and financial loss. With 44% of ransomware breaches hitting essential workloads, the risk is high. Our advanced technologies ensure critical data is protected and quickly recoverable, safeguarding operations and peace of mind.
Myth 5: Recovery is a long and painful process
Organizations often fear long recovery times after cyberattacks, unsure how quickly they can resume operations. Traditional recovery can take days or weeks, draining resources and frustrating stakeholders. NetApp’s AI-powered detection and automated response change that - cutting recovery time to minutes and minimizing disruption. This real-time response not only boosts resilience but gives companies a competitive edge.
