NetApp Fights Ransomware in Real-Time with Built-In Artificial Intelligence on Enterprise Storage Along with Enhanced Cyber-Resiliency Solutions

Amid increasing ransomware threats, new capabilities expand NetApp leadership in providing the quickest response and recovery to cyber disasters


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2024 – NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure company, today announced cyber-resiliency capabilities that will equip customers to better protect and recover their data in the face of ransomware threats. NetApp is one of the first to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) directly into enterprise primary storage to fight ransomware in real-time. The NetApp cyber-resiliency capabilities protect both primary and secondary data for organizations whether it is stored on-premises or in the cloud.

Cybercriminals are increasingly aiming ransomware attacks at critical infrastructure and supply chains where operational disruptions can cost millions of dollars, according to Forrester. As a result, 87 percent of C-suite and board-level executives ranked ransomware as a high, or the top, priority for their organization, according to the NetApp 2023 Data Complexity report. When cybercriminals breach perimeters, networks, and identities storage becomes the last line of defense for organizations’ most critical data. With the threat of ransomware looming, organizations need solutions that not only protect their data but also quickly recover lost data and return to normal operations. NetApp is updating its cyber-resiliency solutions and leveraging the power of AI to give customers confidence that their data will be safe and accessible when they need it.

“NetApp is taking an aggressive and proactive approach to protecting our customers’ data against cyber threats using artificial intelligence. We are the first storage vendor to explicitly and financially guarantee our data storage offerings against ransomware,” said Mignona Cote, CSO at NetApp. “Today, we are furthering that leadership with updates that make defending data comprehensive, continuous, and simple for our customers.”

NetApp is focused on designing data storage and management systems that maximize data protection and security while meeting data governance and compliance standards, with new updates that include:

  • ONTAP Autonomous Ransomware Protection with Artificial Intelligence (ARP/AI) will spearhead the next generation of real-time enterprise storage ransomware protection, giving increased accuracy and performance required to detect and mitigate new, more sophisticated cyber threats. NetApp pioneered autonomous real-time detection of ransomware directly in primary enterprise storage three years ago. Now, NetApp will be leading the charge to use adaptive AI/ML models built directly into enterprise primary storage to look at file-level signals in real-time to detect even the newest ransomware attacks with planned 99%+ precision and recall. NetApp will be offering the first technology preview of ARP/AI within the next quarter.
  • NetApp BlueXP Ransomware Protection, now in public preview, provides a single control plane to intelligently coordinate and execute an end-to-end, workload-centric ransomware defense. Customers can now identify and protect critical workload data with a single click, accurately and automatically detect and respond to a potential attack, and recover workloads within minutes, safeguarding their valuable data and minimizing costly disruption.
  • Application-Aware Ransomware Protection via NetApp SnapCenter 5.0 offers immutable ransomware protection for applications. SnapCenter will now apply NetApp’s leading ransomware protection technologies, previously used with unstructured data, to application-consistent backup. SnapCenter 5.0 includes support for key ONTAP features like tamperproof Snapshot copy locking, SnapLock protected volumes, and SnapMirror Business Continuity to enable more robust data protection for applications and virtual machines. SnapCenter 5.0 supports protection of applications on-premises with NetApp AFF, ASA, and FAS, as well as in the cloud.
  • NetApp BlueXP Disaster Recovery, now generally available, offers seamless integration with VMware infrastructure and provides storage options for both on-premises and major public cloud environments. This comprehensive solution eliminates the need for separate standby disaster recovery (DR) infrastructure, reducing costs. With NetApp BlueXP disaster recovery, failover and failback processes are simplified, allowing smooth transitions from on-premises VMware infrastructure to the public cloud or to an on-premises data center.
  • NetApp Keystone Ransomware Recovery Guarantee extends NetApp’s current Ransomware Recovery Guarantee to our leading storage-as-a-service offering, NetApp Keystone. With this guarantee, NetApp will warrant snapshot data recovery in the event of a ransomware attack. If snapshot data copies can’t be recovered through NetApp, we will offer compensation*.

“In today’s highly distributed IT environment, organizations in Asia Pacific must look beyond the traditional perimeter to strengthen their cyber resilience and disaster recovery capabilities,” said You Qinghong, Solutions Engineering Lead, Greater China, ASEAN and South Korea, NetApp. “NetApp’s data-centric, inside-out approach to cyber resilience embeds AI-driven protection directly into the storage infrastructure, providing defense at its most critical point – where the data resides, in owned data centers or anywhere in the cloud.”

“Today’s cybersecurity teams face the monumental task of protecting their companies’ data from ever-evolving threats, especially ransomware,” said Archana Venkatraman, Research Director, Cloud Data Management, IDC. “NetApp’s approach of delivering a secure, unified storage infrastructure makes storage foundational for ransomware protection and reduces the burden on cybersecurity teams. Companies looking to fortify their cyber resiliency and shifting protection left will increasingly look to vendors that take a secure-by-design approach and develop unified storage and data services.”

“Using NetApp in our Advanced Technology Center, we significantly simplified our replication process for VMware virtual machines and their underlying datastores to meet or exceed recovery benchmarks,” said Derek Elbert, Solutions Architect at WWT. “With NetApp’s solutions, we successfully established the recovery policies for cloud volumes workloads or virtual machines with no existing DR strategy, managing everything through NetApp BlueXP. This transforms how we operate disaster recovery for VMware.”

“To store sensitive genomics and health data, we have to use the right technology with layers of security built in,” said Mark Cowley, Deputy Director at Children’s Cancer Institute. “With NetApp, we can be very confident that we are sharing the right data only to authorized researchers. The last line of defense is your weakest web-based system, so we’ve implemented role-based access and added resilience to all of our tools.”

The latest cyber resiliency updates from NetApp empower organizations to proactively address cybersecurity threats in complex hybrid and multicloud environments, leveraging AI to identify threats and prevent disruptions to their operations.

Bank Negara Malaysia is expected to keep the overnight policy interest rate at 3.00% – Octa

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) will meet on 6 – 7 March to decide on monetary policy. Octa’s experts expect that the interest rate will be unchanged at 3.00% and that the accompanying rhetoric will significantly impact the ringgit.

  • The January inflation figures, together with weaker real GDP growth, show that Bank Negara Malaysia will likely continue keeping the overnight policy interest rate stable at 3.00%
  • Policymakers have stepped up their rhetoric to contain the fall of local currency. The policy statements had a positive effect on the ringgit.
  • The interest rate gap to the Fed Funds rate of 250 basis points is prompting foreign investors to withdraw capital from the domestic market.
  • If the Monetary Policy Committee leaves the rate unchanged, the USDMYR might decline to the critical support level of 4.6000–4.6200 in the short term.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2024 – The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) will meet on 6 – 7 March to decide on monetary policy. BNM is expected to keep the interest rate unchanged at 3.00%.

In recent months, the overall inflation rate in Malaysia has been slowing down. According to the latest monthly highlights and statistics, headline inflation was 1.5% year-on-year (YoY) in January 2024. Thus, the January inflation figures, together with weaker real GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 (4Q23) and continued currency weakness, reinforce the view that Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) will continue keeping the overnight policy interest rate (OPR) stable at 3.00% through 2024 and lean towards a 25 basis points rate cut a year from now.

Although inflation has declined significantly, it would be premature for Malaysia to declare victory over high inflation. Several internal and external factors could derail the decline in inflationary pressures. These include geopolitical tensions, high interest rate differentials, and currency depreciation. The last factor on the eve of the Monetary Policy Committee meeting is the most relevant.

Policymakers have stepped up their rhetoric to contain the local currency’s fall after last week when it hit its weakest level since the height of the 1998 Asian financial crisis. A key message from the government is a willingness to sell dollars from its reserves to limit the ringgit’s interchangeable weakness.

Bank Negara Malaysia is prepared to sell U.S. dollars from its reserves to ‘restrict excessive weakness in the ringgit’, the nation’s second finance minister, Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan, said.

The policy statements had a positive effect. The Malaysian ringgit gained strength against the U.S. dollar at the beginning of the trading week—USDMYR is trading below the 4.8000 level, which was identified in the rhetoric as a critical benchmark for the central bank to start currency interventions.

Also, Bank Negara Malaysia has kept its key rate at 3.00% since July, making it a record low relative to the Fed funds rate. The 250 basis point interest rate gap prompts foreign investors to withdraw capital from the domestic market, thereby adding pressure on the ringgit. Nevertheless, investors are optimistic about the further development of the situation, as starting from the second half of the year, the prospect of a rate cut in the U.S. Federal Reserve strengthens. This factor will support the ringgit—USDMYR may recover to 4.5000 by the end of the year.

Thus, the chances of rate savings are high. Investors should pay attention to the accompanying rhetoric regarding government support and the size of currency interventions to support the national currency. Should there be such statements, the ringgit could strengthen—USDMYR might decline to the critical support level of 4.6000–4.6200 in the short term.
