Building a Protection Strategy

The best indicator of a successful data service platform comes from the results of an efficiently architected strategy that protects against various threats and ensures the immutable security of all data. Commvault’s platform extends far beyond immutable protection capabilities by providing a proactive platform that detects and responds accordingly to potential threats.

To maintain an effective strategy, Commvault utilizes an efficient system to protect against ransomware and mitigate risks through a five-step plan:

2.     Prevent Attacks:

It’s important to not only protect but prevent attacks from occurring by hardening security efforts for crucial information, increased data validation to ensure integrity and implementing data locks to secure storage. 

3.     Monitor Environment:

Consistent attention placed on security systems to ensure no risk of unrecognized behavior and early detection of potential threats.

4.     Restore Data:

With the use of Commvault’s efficient backup processes, expect faster restoration of data and improved recovery times to resume business as normal, while reducing the overall impact of cyber-security risks.

5.     Test:

Perform tests frequently to ensure that your security needs are consistently being met  

By implementing Commvault’s five-step protection strategy, your company can maintain a constant state of preparation and recovery readiness towards ransomware attacks and cyber-security issues.

Commvault’s Security Framework

When it comes to Meridian’s security framework, Commvault’s AAA security controls act as a first line of defense, blocking malicious intents towards gaining access to private information, and maintaining extra security through immutable locks on current storage. Commvault’s security framework controls are comprised of immutable backup data that utilizes these main framework controls:

Authentication:

Considered the “gate-keeper” of security controls; acting as a deterrent towards those attempting to access back up data. Features included aim to ensure identity of those attempting to access data using secure protocols.

Authorization:

Determines the level of access allowed based on various controls such as: role-based security, privacy locks, and multi-level authentication. Efforts work towards data being retrieved within the platform.

Accounting:

Commvault enforces accountability through tracking actions within the database and providing a “rich, customizable interface” to view the information. Commvault software will store immutable data, providing deep information regarding operations to those authorized with access.  

Early Detections Make the Difference

Early detection of security threats continues to be a major challenge for most companies working towards increasing protection for their private information. According to a recent Neustar International Security Council Survey from Forbes, only 28% of companies reported being confident in their ability to combat ransomware attacks.Data protection has always been a main priority for business continuity and with the staggering rates of cybercrimes on the rise, the need for advanced cyber-security services has never been more important.  

For the first time in decades, companies aren’t looking to simply recover from data breaches, but to prevent security crimes completely through an onslaught of early detection methods, preventative planning, and other tactics. When considering immutable protection measures, Commvault’s services provide key advantages such as the targeted use of AAA Framework security controls, data encryption and protection plans to ensure that your data gets the necessary coverage it needs to detect early signs of threats. Strategically applying these tactics within Commvault’s security services ensures that companies have the best line of defense towards data protection.
