Ransomware Protection that Fortifies
Your Data Against Bad Actors

 

Meet AI-Powered Protection

CTERA Ransom Protect employs advanced machine learning algorithms to swiftly identify and block suspicious file activities. Enhanced with honeypot capabilities, Ransom Protect empowers us to identify and stop unauthorized access or attempts at data theft, effectively neutralizing threats before significant damage can occur.

Close the
Backup Gap

Backup products for endpoints and servers typically back up data every 8 to 24 hours. In contrast, CTERA offers continuous real-time protection, synchronizing the data to air-gapped, immutable object storage. This enables superior ransomware protection, with a RPO (recovery point objective) from attacks measured in minutes or seconds.

Trust in Immutable Snapshots

Over 90% of ransomware attacks target backups. To combat this, CTERA securely stores snapshots in immutable, air-gapped object storage. These cannot be deleted or modified during the retention period, effectively creating a safe haven for your data. This strategy thwarts ransomware from destroying your recovery options.

Get Instant Disaster Recovery

CTERA’s caching technology not only replicates the data continuously to the cloud, but offers near-immediate disaster recovery and ransomware mitigation following an attack, even when tens of terabytes need to be rolled back.

Benefit from Zero-Trust Architecture

CTERA is the only global filesystem to have a Zero-Trust architecture. Edge filers never store or receive credentials for the object storage. All storage operations are performed with single-use tokens provided by an authorization service in the CTERA Portal.

FAQ

Our ransomware protection, CTERA Ransom Protect, uses activity sensors integrated into the file system, which feed data into an advanced machine learning algorithm. This algorithm is trained on a large dataset of attack flows and can identify behavioral anomalies that suggest fraudulent file activity. It can block offending users within seconds of detecting an issue. 

Thanks to our advanced caching technology and instant recovery feature, rolling back data following a ransomware attack can be near-instantaneous. And you’ll immediately regain access to recovered files on your mapped network drives. Theres no need to wait for all the damaged data to be restored. 

No, we offer Zero-Day Protection. CTERA Ransom Protect doesnt rely on traditional signature update services. It uses advanced AI and machine learning algorithms to detect and block ransomware attacks. In addition to behavioral anomaly detection, We also offer signature-based malware protection that blocks known attacks. 

CTERA Ransom Protect provides an administrator dashboard that enables real-time attack monitoring, comprehensive incident evidence logging, and post-attack forensics. This helps administrators manage and mitigate incidents more effectively. 

To counter the fact that over 90% of ransomware attacks target backups, we securely store snapshots in immutable, air-gapped object storage. These cant be deleted or modified during the retention period, effectively creating a safe haven for your data. This strategy prevents ransomware from destroying your recovery options. 

You can activate CTERA Ransom Protect in a single click on CTERA Edge Filers; everything is built in. 

Yes, even with an EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solution, CTERA Ransom Protect is still beneficial due to its layered security approach. EDR may not cover many types of devices, such as printers or medical devices on your network. Remember, it only takes one compromised device to disrupt an entire network. CTERA Ransom Protect adds an extra layer of security, safeguarding your file storage and backup systems, the primary targets of attackers, thus complementing your existing EDR solution and enhancing your defense against ransomware
