Cyberstorage

Cyberstorage is a proactive approach to data protection that focuses on actively defending unstructured data from modern cyberattacks, particularly ransomware. It represents a shift from traditional storage systems that primarily focus on data availability and recovery to ones that prioritize data security and integrity.

Key characteristics of cyberstorage:

• Data-centric security: Protects data at the storage level rather than relying solely on network security.
• Active defense: Implements technologies to identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cyberattacks.
• Immutability: Often incorporates WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) functionality to prevent data modification.
• Advanced threat detection: Monitors for suspicious activity and anomalies.
• Rapid recovery: Enables swift restoration of data after an attack.

The Panzura CloudFS hybrid cloud platform embodies cyberstorage, protecting data with immutability, taking granular immutable snapshots that enable rapid restoration of pristine data without loss, and early detection of anomalous behavior such as ransomware to minimize disruption.
