NetApp(r), the intelligent data storage infrastructure company (NASDAQ: NTAP), announced today that NetApp ONTAP Autonomous ransomware Protection with Artificial Intelligence has received an AAA rating from SE Labs. SE Labs is an independent testing company that evaluates security products and service. SE Labs validated NetApp ARP/AI’s protection effectiveness with a 99 percent recall rate, a metric used to measure malware detection rates.
When responding to ransomware, seconds can mean the difference between a business’s continuity and a major disruption. To minimize the damage caused by lost production data or downtime, organizations need to have fast, automated and accurate detection and reaction capabilities built into their primary systems. NetApp ARP/AI’s AI-powered ransomware detector capability fills this gap, allowing for real-time detection to minimize the impact from cybersecurity threats.
SE Labs tested NetApp ARP/AI rigorously against hundreds of ransomware variants, with impressive results. NetApp ARP/AI detected advanced ransomware attacks at a rate of 99 percent. NetApp ARP/AI detected 100 percent of legitimate files, without any false positives. This shows a strong ability to work in a business environment without contributing to alert fatigue.
Data security against internal and external threats plays a crucial role in making data infrastructure intelligent, which empowers customers to transform disruption into opportunity. This validation of NetApp’s AI-powered data protection capabilities highlights how NetApp stays at the forefront of AI innovations by enabling AI adoption as well as applying AI to data services. NetApp’s new, more powerful, all flash storage systems can help enterprises leverage their data for AI workloads.
NetApp has achieved a significant milestone against ransomware. It is the only storage vendor that offers AI-driven on box ransomware detection, with top-notch protection effectiveness that has been externally validated, said Dr. Arun Gurrajan, Vice-President, Research & Data Science, at NetApp. “Ransomware-detection methodologies that rely solely on backup data are far too slow to mitigate the risks businesses face due to cybersecurity threats. NetApp ARP/AI hardens storage for enterprise by providing robust, integrated detection capabilities that can respond in real-time to ransomware attacks. “The AAA rating we received from SE Labs was the result of our commitment in innovation and intelligent data infrastructure, as well as our drive to create the most secure storage system on the planet.”
NetApp ARP/AI embeds ransomware detection into storage to help customers improve their cyber resilience. This reduces the operational burden as well as the skills required to maintain an intelligent data infrastructure. NetApp ARP/AI’s detection technology is constantly evolving and adapting as new ransomware variations are discovered. NetApp ARP/AI’s continuous retraining ensures that it remains at the forefront in terms of protection effectiveness.
