Ransomware Protection with Veeam
Protect Your Data from Ransomware with Veeam and Cloudian


Object Lock Protects Your Data

Cloudian HyperStore protects your data with Object Lock, so it cannot be encrypted by ransomware. Integrated with Veeam Availability Suite V10, the combination gives you the only on-prem ransomware solution to offer data immutability that’s verified in US government certification testing.


Overview:

Cloudian backup target provides easy integration, scale-out growth, and protection from ransomware

To protect data from ransomware attacks, Cloudian HyperStore and Veeam Availability Suite V10 support Object Lock. This permits backup data copies to be made unchangeable for a set period of time, which prevents hacker encryption or deletion and ensures a clean data copy for reliable recovery. The resulting security is comparable to offline storage at 70% less cost than public cloud storage.

Solution benefits include:

  • Veeam Object Lock protects data from encryption by ransomware
  • On-prem, disk-based storage for rapid data restore
  • Veeam-qualified for trouble-free deployment
  • Industry’s lowest total cost of ownership of any backup target

Challenge: More Data and New Threats

IT managers must manage data growth, meet stringent RPO/RTO objectives, and protect data from loss or malicious attacks. Your choice of backup target is critical to meeting these data protection objectives. Traditional hardware backup targets are expensive and lack scalability. Public cloud targets can limit bandwidth, resulting in lengthy restore times. Wherever your backup data resides, a ransomware attack could render that data useless, potentially shutting down operations. The need for a new approach to data protection has never been greater.

Solution

Cloudian HyperStore enterprise storage complements Veeam Availability Suite v10 with fast, on-premises disk-based storage and built-in ransomware protection. At 70% less cost than public cloud or traditional enterprise storage, Cloudian offers an innovative solution for better backup storage.

High Speed Backup and Recovery

Cloudian provides a local, S3-compliant object storage target for Veeam backups over your local, high-speed network. The solution lets you backup and restore large data sets in a fraction of the time required for public cloud storage, leading to enhanced Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). To further ensure high performance, the solution supports recovery directly from HyperStore without the need to rehydrate an intermediate storage tier.

Ransomware Protection

To protect data from ransomware attacks, Cloudian HyperStore and Veeam Availability Suite V10 support Object Lock. This permits backup data copies to be made unchangeable for a set period of time, which prevents hacker encryption or deletion and ensures a clean data copy for reliable recovery. The resulting security is comparable to offline storage.

Object Lock protects data from ransomware by making it unchangeable for a specified period, thus preventing encryption by malware.

Security

Cloudian Object Lock is certified to meet the nonrewriteable, non-erasable storage requirements of SEC Rule 17a-4(f), and is certified to meet the principles-based requirements of CFTC Rule 1.31(c)-(d) and the requirements of FINRA Rule 4511. In addition, Cloudian supports AES-256 server-side encryption for data at rest and SSL for data in transit (HTTPS). Fine-grained storage policies — including encryption at object and bucket-levels — permit security settings to be individually configured for different users or data types in a shared-storage environment. In addition, Cloudian offers enhanced security features such as secure shell, integrated firewall and RBAC/IAM access controls to further protect backup copies.

Hybrid Cloud-Ready

For DR purposes, Cloudian’s data management functionality lets you create a remote data copy. Replicate backup data to a second Cloudian site, or to low-cost deep archive storage such as AWS Glacier. With policy-based management, your offsite copy will be automatically kept up to date.

Multi-tenancy

Increase efficiency by allowing multiple users to share a single backup and storage infrastructure, without compromising security. Both Veeam and Cloudian support multi-tenancy, ensuring that multiple clients may be supported within a single system while maintaining full data security. Integrated billing simplifies management, and QoS controls help you deliver consistent service levels.

Multi-tenancy support lets you create multiple backup workflows within a single infrastructure without compromising security.
