NetApp Ransomware Resilience is a data-centric approach to defending against ransomware that focuses on protecting data where it actually lives—across file, block, and cloud environments.

Instead of bolting security on after the fact, NetApp builds security-by-design into its data platform and ONTAP data management software. This helps you:

• Protect your data with secure access controls, cyber vaulting, and extra layers of protection beyond one-size-fits-all tools.
• Detect threats using real-time, AI-enabled Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) that can stop attacks before they spread.
• Recover quickly using unbreakable recovery points designed to ensure clean restores.

With a single control plane, you can orchestrate ransomware defense, apply intelligent recommendations, and activate policies with one click. The goal is to minimize your attack surface and keep data confidential, intact, and readily available, so you can get back to business in minutes instead of days or weeks when an incident occurs.

NetApp reimagines ransomware defense by starting at the data layer, which is often the weakest point in traditional security stacks.

Key differences include:

• Security-by-design vs. bolt-on tools: Protection is built into the NetApp data platform and ONTAP, rather than added as separate point products.
• Unified control plane: You can orchestrate ransomware defense from a single interface with intelligent recommendations and one-click policy activation, instead of juggling multiple tools.
• Proactive vs. reactive: Real-time, AI-enabled Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) is designed to detect and stop attacks before they spread, rather than only responding after damage is done.
• Resilient recovery: Unbreakable recovery points help ensure clean restores, addressing a common issue where victims who pay a ransom still have data stolen and, in nearly 40% of cases, cannot fully restore what they lost.

This approach helps organizations keep pace with the speed and sophistication of AI-powered ransomware, while simplifying management and strengthening resilience across every cloud, workload, and environment.

The NetApp Ransomware Resilience trial is designed to let you experience NetApp’s ransomware defense capabilities in your own environment, risk-free.

The trial includes:

• Full-featured access to NetApp Ransomware Resilience for your NetApp ONTAP workloads.
• Support for up to 100TB of protected capacity during the trial period.
• Use of the unified control plane to manage policies, apply intelligent recommendations, and orchestrate ransomware defense.
• Access to capabilities such as AI-enabled Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP), unbreakable recovery points, and cyber vaulting.

It’s intended for organizations that want to strengthen their ransomware posture, reduce downtime costs, and test how quickly they can recover—moving from days or weeks of disruption to a target of minutes.
