IBM Storage ensures data security and availability for faster, more informed decision-making while reducing costs. IBM Storage Defender, part of the IBM® Storage portfolio, enhances data resilience by detecting threats early and enabling swift, secure recovery in case of an attack. It provides comprehensive visibility, leveraging AI to detect threats like ransomware and identify safe recovery points. Integrating with existing security operations, it orchestrates recovery across primary and secondary workloads, facilitating collaboration between SecOps and Storage teams. Defender includes multiple protection layers, such as immutable storage, hardware snapshots, backup, and air gap to tape or cloud. It uses AI-powered threat detection for anomalies, ensuring early threat resolution. The solution also supports testing recovery processes and aligning infrastructure, data, and security teams through actionable alerts for quick threat isolation and recovery execution.
