Security

Actively monitor your FlashSystem to detect suspicious and unusual behaviors using machine learning. This proactive approach enables you to potentially identify a ransom attack before it fully executes. For instance, you may notice a spike in disk utilisation caused by the encryption aspect of a ransomware attack.

Ensuring that your FlashSystem is encrypted will prevent the physical theft of data as the disks will only be able to be read by a device that has the associated encryption key.

Protected copies facilitate the capture of immutable snapshots of your storage, which you can automatically schedule at regular intervals. Consequently, in the event of a cyber attack or data corruption, you can quarantine, test, and restore these snapshots, significantly reducing downtime and data loss associated with ransomware attacks. On average, organisations take three weeks to recover from a cyber attack, with only 95% of the data recovered.

The use of MFA reduces the risk of compromise by 99% according to a study conducted by Microsoft.

Users can be assigned to a group on the system, each group can have roles associated with it. These roles have different features of the system enabled on them. This allows for users to only have access to features that are required.

You can implement restrictions on a per-user group basis, limiting the objects users can view, manage, and configure. These objects include hosts, volumes, port sets, user groups, child pools, and more.

Access to the graphical user interface (GUI), command-line interface (CLI) and Representational State Transfer (REST) interface can be disabled. Reducing the interfaces that the FlashSystem can be access via, you greatly reduce the potential access points in a malicious attack.
