2026 Gartner® Market Guide for Cyberstorage

Panzura is recognized as a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide for Cyberstorage.

According to Gartner, "Cyberstorage addresses a growing gap in enterprise resilience by adding active cyber detection directly at the storage layer. Heads of I&O should evaluate cyberstorage solutions that provide active detection, recovery assurance, and operational integration across data and storage environments. Buyer focus is shifting from recovery speed alone to recovery confidence."

In our view, this Market Guide highlights the increasing interest in data resiliency and shows I&O leaders how the Panzura CloudFS hybrid cloud file platform, with native cyberstorage capabilities, enables:

• Active Defense at the Storage Layer: Detect and respond to "anomalous I/O patterns, suspicious user behavior and early-stage encryption activity" in production data before widespread damage occurs.
• Recovery Assurance over Recovery Speed: Confidently "identify and validate the last known clean copy" of data, ensuring restored data is "clean, trustworthy and safe to reintroduce into production."
• Consistent Protection across Hybrid Environments: Close the coverage gaps in "heterogeneous, hybrid and multicloud environments" where native cyberstorage features "vary by platform, policy model and operational maturity."
• Security Operations Integration: Share telemetry and "participate in coordinated incident response processes, reinforcing shared ownership between I&O and security teams rather than operating as a siloed control."
