The amount of data generated will soon reach the 180 Zettobyte globally, companies, increasingly dependent on data for their daily operations, are faced with growing challenges related to the protection of these precious resources. With the rapid escalation of the costs and the sophistication of cyberattacchi, including the ransomware that is expected to damage for 265 billion dollars by 2031, the need for a robust and resilient safety strategy has never been so evident.
Traditional reactive strategies seem to be no longer sufficient to combat increasingly frequent and advanced IT attacks. Companies must now adopt a proactive approach, using artificial intelligence to continuously monitor the environment and scan threats, while automation must play a crucial role in reporting and reacting to the anomalies detected, allowing administrators to take quick actions of Triage and remedy.
In this context, Hitachi Vantara proposes himself as the undisputed leader in the modernization of data protection to strengthen operational resilience. The product, HCP Anywhere Enterprise, extends data protection to the entire company infrastructure, from the data center to mobile devices, guaranteeing reliability, compliance and protection.
The solutions offered by Hitachi Vantara, such as the Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) and Hitachi Content Platform (HCP), provide unchangeable data protection, crucial to oppose the ransomware attacks. VSP One, for example, allows the creation of inviolable snapshots that can be quickly restored, ensuring the recovery of data in the event of an attack. In addition, the immutable storage of HCP hinders any attempt to modify data, allowing to recover the latest version valid with ease. Gran part of this protection is based on the inviolability features of all three solutions.
• VSP One allows companies to create inviolable snapshots – essentially, Point -in -time copies – of all the data in their systems. In this way, if and when someone or something tries to delete or modify the data, the company has an unchanging snapshot and which can be restored in the production environment. In fact, Hitachi Vantara offers the fastest recovery of rasomware from inviolable snapshots for VMware environments.
• HCP object storage also offers the immutable storage of data, versioning, storage and more. It hinders any attempt to modify data by preventing the new encrypted version from overwriting the original, so that you can easily recover the latest valid version of the data.
• HCP Anywhere Enterprise is equipped with protection features against ransomware, able to detect it and notify it immediately to the administrators. HCP Anywhere Enterprise also uses HCP to recover entire file systems from the Snapshot, allowing a quick restoration on a large scale.
The Hitachi data protection suite, in collaboration with solutions such as Commission and Comvault Hyperscale X, integrates perfectly to offer further security to backup copies, a common target of cyberattacchi. This integration is essential to ensure that the data are always available and protected, in line with emerging regulations such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (Dora) of the European Union.
