Ransomware Protection
PROTECT. DETECT. RECOVER.
NetApp cyber resilience: A data-centric approach to ransomware protection. Protect: Secure your environment. Detect: Anticipate threats. Recover: Bounce back quickly.
Ransomware attacks are an increasingly prevalent and sophisticated threat to organizations of all sizes. These malicious attacks encrypt valuable data and demand payment for its release, often causing significant financial losses and operational disruptions.
- Cyberincidents are the number one business risk globally.
- Ransomware is expected to strike every 2 seconds by 2031.
- 59% of organizations were affected by ransomware last year.
- Ransomware attacks increased by 73% from 2022 to 2023.

Secure by Design: ONTAP Built-in Ransomware Protection
Immutable and Indelible Snapshot Copies
Core capabilities include immutable and indelible Snapshot copies, so that data remains unalterable and cannot be deleted, even by administrators, creating a reliable fallback point for recovery.
ONTAP FPolicy
The ONTAP FPolicy feature enhances security by blocking malicious files, preventing the spread of threats within the system.
Multiadmin Verification
To fortify access controls, multiadmin verification requires multiple administrators to approve critical actions, reducing the risk of insider threats or compromised credentials.
Multifactor Authentication
Multifactor authentication adds an extra layer of security, which means that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data and systems.
Real-time Detection and Response
AI-Powered Autonomous Detection
NetApp provides real-time detection with 99% accuracy and near-instant response capabilities, leveraging AI-powered autonomous technology built directly into ONTAP. This advanced detection continuously monitors for suspicious activities and anomalies, swiftly identifying potential ransomware attacks as they unfold on file, block, and native cloud in Amazon FSx for ONTAP.
Automatic Threat Isolation
When a threat is detected, the system can automatically isolate affected data and prevent further spread, minimizing potential damage.
NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights (DII)
NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights (DII) offers an additional layer of defense against insider threats. It detects potential anomalous user behavior and takes immediate action such as blocking user access to storage systems and taking snapshots. Furthermore, DII provides detailed analytics for forensic analysis and auditing.
Isolated Backups for Cyber Vaulting
SnapLock Compliance Software
NetApp cybervaulting, powered by SnapLock compliance software, gives organizations a comprehensive and flexible solution for protecting their most critical data assets. Logical air-gapping with robust hardening methodologies for ONTAP enables you to create secure, isolated storage environments that are resilient against evolving cyberthreats.
Additional Layer of Data Protection
- Secure, isolated storage infrastructure (for example, air-gapped storage systems)
- Backup copies of your data that are both immutable and indelible
- Strict access controls and multifactor authentication
- Rapid data restoration capabilities
- By applying WORM technology, SnapLock prevents encryption and deletion of data with indestructible and efficient data copies
