The first is along the path of increasing storage media capacity (e.g., tape, Hard Disk Drives, solid-state drives (SSD).Storage technology, just like its computing and networking counterparts, has evolved from traditional storage service types, such as block, file, and object. To address this potential gap, NIST released Special Publication (SP) 800-209, Security Guidelines for Storage Infrastructure, which includes comprehensive security recommendations for storage & backup infrastructures. What Does NIST Have To Say About Storage & Backup Security While storage infrastructure can be one of the most impacted solutions attacked by ransomware, it initially receives limited attention by security and storage leaders”. Ransomware climbed an unprecedented 105% in 2021 over 2020 to 623.3 million attacks worldwide.Īccording to Gartner, “ransomware attacks will become so common that I&O leaders will have to assume data cybersecurity responsibility and adopt new approaches for active defense. The effect of ransomware is enormous and destructive, impacting areas such as loss of business and recovery costs. Network-attached storage (NAS) and scale-out file system storage provides inadequate protection from malicious deletion or encryption of data.Ĭyberstorage provides active defense against cyber attack on unstructured data.”Ĭybersecurity threats dominated IT concerns in 2021 and are growing in occurrence and magnitude. ![]() “Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly common, requiring the adoption or deployment of cybersecurity tools for active defense.Īlthough numerous solutions are available for endpoint protection, back-end protection largely fails due to a lack of solutions. Gartner explains why this has become such a hot topic. In this particular report, Cyberstorage is defined by Gartner as “protecting unstructured storage system data against ransomware attacks through early detection and blocking of attacks”. In addition, Continuity is listed as a featured vendor (apologies for patting ourselves on the back!!!)įor those who don’t know, Gartner’s Hype Cycle represents the maturity and adoption of emerging technologies, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems. The latest 2022 Gartner Hype Cycle report for Storage and Data Protection has just been published and I’m thrilled to see that Cyberstorage is steadily progressing up the firm’s innovation curve.
