NetApp sets new standard for secure storage
with third-party validated ransomware detection accuracy of 99
percent
NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure
company, today announced that NetApp ONTAP® Autonomous Ransomware
Protection with Artificial Intelligence (ARP/AI) has received a AAA
rating from SE Labs, an independently-owned and run testing company
that assesses security products and services. SE Labs validated the
protection effectiveness of NetApp ARP/AI with 99 percent recall—a
metric that measures malware detection rates—for ransomware
attacks, while noting the absence of false positives.
When responding to ransomware attacks, seconds can make the
difference between ensuring continuity and a massive business
disruption. Organizations need fast, automated, and accurate
detection and response capabilities built into their primary
storage systems to minimize the damage done by lost production data
and downtime. NetApp ARP/AI, with its AI-powered ransomware
detection capability, addresses this gap by providing real-time
detection and response to minimize the impact of cybersecurity
threats.
SE Labs rigorously tested NetApp ARP/AI against hundreds of
known ransomware variants with impressive results. NetApp ARP/AI
demonstrated 99 percent detection of advanced ransomware attacks.
NetApp ARP/AI also achieved 100 percent detection of legitimate
files without flagging any false positives, indicating a strong
ability to operate in a business context without contributing to
alert fatigue.
Ensuring data is secure against internal and external threats is
a critical part of making data infrastructure intelligent which
then empowers customers to turn disruption into opportunity. This
validation of NetApp’s AI-powered ransomware detection capabilities
underscores how NetApp is staying at the forefront of AI innovation
by both enabling AI adoption and applying AI to data services.
NetApp’s newly released more powerful, all-flash storage systems
help enterprises leverage their data to drive AI workloads, built
on NetApp’s secure storage infrastructure.
"NetApp has passed a significant milestone in the fight against
ransomware as the first and only storage vendor to offer AI-driven
on-box ransomware detection with externally validated top-notch
protection effectiveness,” said Dr. Arun Gururajan, Vice President,
Research & Data Science at NetApp. “Ransomware detection
methodologies that rely only on backup data are too slow to
effectively mitigate the risks businesses face from cybersecurity
threats. NetApp ARP/AI hardens enterprise storage by providing
robust, built-in detection capabilities that can respond to
ransomware threats in real time. The AAA rating we achieved from SE
Labs is the result of our commitment to innovation in intelligent
data infrastructure and our drive to find new ways to make NetApp
the most secure storage on the planet.”
By embedding ransomware detection in storage, NetApp ARP/AI
helps customers improve their cyber resilience while reducing the
operational burden and skills required to maintain their
intelligent data infrastructure. NetApp ARP/AI’s detection
technology continuously adapts and evolves as new ransomware
variants are discovered. This continuous retraining on the latest
ransomware strains ensures that NetApp ARP/AI remains at the
forefront of protection effectiveness, offering organizations a
future-proof defense against the dynamic ransomware landscape.
