How to close gaps in data protection against cyberattacks
In today’s digital landscape, safeguarding your company’s data is an ongoing effort. Maintaining the security of data assets is a continuous challenge, as cybercriminals are always ready to strike.
Traditional data backup methods, especially file system snapshots, are quite effective. However, they are not without gaps. File system snapshot schedules leave gaps in protection. However, copying data does not always mean protecting it. This is because compromised data can also be backed up after being distorted or encrypted. This can become part of the problem of disaster recovery over the years.
Numerous studies show that the average cost of ransomware attacks is millions of dollars for businesses. We should not forget the recent cyberattacks on MGM Resorts, which cost them more than $100 million.
Infinidat represents InfiniSafe® Automated Cyber Protection (ACP) as part of the Cyber Resilience Services platform within the InfiniVerse® Platform to address this issue and create an easily orchestrated methodology for dealing with cyber attacks.
How InfiniSafe ACP works
Most companies hire teams to monitor and manage cybersecurity. Even with all these resources, it can take time to decide whether to take snapshots in response to suspicious activity. InfiniSafe ACP by Infinidat automatically triggers a protection scheme to take file system snapshots of any data on the InfiniBox™ SSA and InfiniBox® platforms.
Feedback and market reaction
The innovation of the InfiniSafe ACP solution has already been recognised in the market. Sycomp’s Vice President of Global Sales, Allen Shahdadi, emphasised the significant impact of InfiniSafe ACP, saying:
“Infinidat is becoming synonymous with guaranteed cyber-resilient storage. The company continues to offer powerful solutions that address critical cyber issues for enterprises and service providers around the world. Automatic backup of primary data can be the decisive factor between data theft and fast data recovery.”
Technical aspects and integration
InfiniSafe ACP works by automatically taking snapshots of the file system whenever changes or events of concern are detected. These snapshots are immutable and are retained by default for three days and longer if needed. This allows enterprises to respond quickly to potential cyberattacks and reduce the impact on the storage environment.
Additional features and extensions
InfiniSafe also has an optional InfiniSafe Cyber Detection component that uses AI/ML to perform deep scanning of data in snapshots. This helps determine exactly whether data has been compromised. This feature also supports VMware datastores, ensuring high scanning accuracy.

With its fast data recovery, Infinidat provides a guaranteed recovery time of less than one minute for all data file system snapshots, regardless of size.
InfiniSafe ACP and Infinidat solutions provide effective tools to protect critical enterprise data from cyberattacks. They help close security gaps, reduce threat time, and ensure fast data recovery. This solution enables you to save money and protect your reputation and quickly regain control of your data.
Main functionality InfiniSafe and InfinSafe ACP are included free of charge in all platforms. Add to this the optional InfiniSafe Cyber Detection solution, and you have a fully orchestrated end-to-end solution.
