Cyber protection and cybersecurity spending continues to increase as it is prioritized by organizations. In recent years, ransomware attacks have been gaining national attention as a result of their ability to disrupt an organization’s ability to operate. An organization’s intellectual property, reputation, and revenues are all at stake in the current environment. The revenue impacts are far greater, given the data privacy laws enacted in recent years. The first recorded cyberattack occurred in 1989. Since then, attacks have become more sophisticated, using malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks.
PowerScale offers cyber protection to secure OneFS clusters proactively and to store data in a separate air-gapped repository. This paper describes the cyber protection components available for a PowerScale cluster.
