Podcast: How Data Storage Can Mitigate Ransomware Threats

In this podcast, Chris McKean, a solutions specialist at NetApp, discusses how storage suppliers can integrate features into storage products to protect against and recover from ransomware attacks. This includes detecting, safeguarding data, and preventing unauthorized changes to data.

McKean explains how ransomware impacts data storage by encrypting and possibly stealing data, rendering organizations unable to function digitally. He emphasizes the importance of storage vendors including features like detection and behavioral analytics to combat ransomware attacks effectively.

McKean also suggests implementing role-based access control and a zero-trust approach to prevent ransomware attacks from occurring. While storage can serve as a crucial layer of defense, it is essential to have additional security measures in place to protect against malware infections originating from users’ devices.

Overall, McKean views storage as the last line of defense against ransomware attacks, comparing it to a goalkeeper in a football team that prevents attackers from accessing valuable data.
