Detecting Cyber Attacks with IBM Storage Defender

Abstract

Cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and challenging to detect. As the attackers begin using different attack vectors and types, it is critical that a broad set of detection technologies be implemented. This can include real-time corruption detection via primary storage, via sensors running within a machine, deep analysis of data structures on protected data for many application types and monitoring for suspicious activity (including automatically triggering deeper analysis if such activity is detected).

The IBM Storage Defender family offers many cyber resilient features such as high-performance recovery points using air-gapped and immutable backups, but this session will focus on one of the most critical aspects of cyber resilience: Detecting different types of attacks as quickly as possible. This session will cover the different types of detection, why such sophisticated detection capabilities are required, and a demonstration of the underlying technology.
