Make your last line of defense your best.

By mimicking application commands, ransomware attackers attempt to encrypt, modify, or delete stored backups.

ARTESCA stops these attacks in their tracks with support for S3 Object Locking APIs, ensuring backups are immutable the instant they’re created.

• Amazon S3 object locking immutability with configurable data retention policies and compliance mode
• Veeam v12 “Direct to object” backups and Smart Object Storage API (SOSAPI) support, plus automated enforcement of validated IAM access control policies

While application-level immutability provides powerful defense against ransomware, it can’t prevent data exfiltration attacks or other malicious access on the network or by unauthorized admins.

ARTESCA thwarts would-be attackers with advanced data-at-rest encryption, user authentication, secure connections and more.

• Secure HTTPS/TLS S3 termination and AES 256-bit data encryption-at-rest
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for secure UI logins, plus automated firewall rules on deployment

If attackers can’t defeat higher-level defenses, they may attempt to penetrate the system below the API layer in order to modify data on the physical disk drives themselves.

With ARTESCA, the success of these low-level attacks is virtually impossible thanks to distributed erasure coding technology that renders data indecipherable.

• Data is encoded and spread across the cluster, impeding an attacker’s ability to extract meaningful data
• Metadata in secure repository on intrinsically immutable object storage layer
• Scale-out from 50TB to multi-petabytes with dual-level data protection for up to 11 nines of durability

Data stored in a single location is particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Even air-gapped systems can be breached by attackers with unauthorized physical access, or destroyed by fires, flooding, or other natural disasters.

To eliminate the risks of single-site backup storage, ARTESCA employs replication for mirroring of data across data centers — and enables easy multi-site deployment for application-managed replication.

• Deploy ARTESCA in remote locations for immutable offsite storage to eliminate the “all data in one place” problem

Storage solutions designed before the ransomware era can be defeated by attacks below the API, network and administrative layers.

ARTESCA is true object storage solution that’s intrinsically immutable, meaning data is always preserved in its original form once stored. A security-hardened operating system mitigates the impact of common vulnerabilities and exposures.
