NetApp’s ONTAP Autonomous Ransomware Protection with Artificial Intelligence (ARP/AI) has achieved a AAA rating from SE Labs, an independent testing firm. This recognition underscores NetApp’s capability in detecting ransomware attacks, with a 99% detection rate for advanced ransomware variants and zero false positives.

Dr. Arun Gururajan, Vice President of Research & Data Science at NetApp, highlighted this achievement as a significant milestone, emphasizing NetApp’s leadership in providing AI-driven, on-box ransomware detection within storage solutions.

NetApp’s ARP/AI distinguishes itself by offering real-time ransomware detection and response capabilities directly within enterprise storage systems. Unlike methods reliant solely on backup data, which can be slower to respond, ARP/AI aims to swiftly identify and mitigate ransomware threats as they emerge.

This rapid response capability is critical in business environments where minimizing downtime and preserving production data are paramount.

Dr. Arun Gururajan underscored NetApp’s dedication to advancing intelligent data infrastructure, citing the AAA rating from SE Labs as validation of their commitment to security innovation. This approach positions NetApp as a leader in delivering secure storage solutions capable of effectively combating modern cybersecurity challenges.

NetApp’s ARP/AI integrates ransomware detection directly into storage solutions, enhancing cyber resilience for customers while reducing the complexity and expertise required to manage intelligent data infrastructure.

This AI-driven technology continuously learns and evolves to detect new ransomware variants effectively. While no system can promise complete detection of all attacks, SE Labs’ results validate ARP/AI’s robust detection capabilities against known ransomware techniques and technologies.

This approach underscores NetApp’s commitment to providing reliable and adaptive cybersecurity solutions in today’s evolving threat landscape.
