New Release Includes Quantum-Proof Encryption, Enhances Industry-First User Behaviour Monitoring and Risk Analysis, and Adds Protection for More PaaS Workloads
Malaysia – Cohesity, the leader in AI-powered data security, today announced multiple new features for Cohesity NetBackup 11.0 to help organisations protect against current and future cyber threats. The new capabilities reflect the company’s continued commitment to, and investment in the NetBackup data protection solution, providing customers with data security innovations such as quantum-proof encryption, advanced analytics to identify high-risk user behaviour, and support for more PaaS workloads.
“This represents the most powerful NetBackup software release to date for defending against today’s sophisticated threats and preparing for those to come,” said Vasu Murthy, senior vice president and chief product officer, Cohesity. “Securing a modern data estate can be increasingly challenging for organisations, especially as cybercriminals evolve their attack methods. Defense strategies must also evolve. The latest NetBackup features give customers smarter ways to minimise the impact of attacks now and post quantum.”
“Ransomware and other cyber-attacks are the greatest risk organisations face right now. Across the ASEAN region, organisations recognise the need to deploy advanced data security and data protection capabilities to enhance cyber resilience. With the rise of quantum computing, traditional cybersecurity and backup strategies aren’t enough. It is more important than ever for organisations to leverage data insights to ensure right decisions are made to detect risky user behaviour or threats early,” said Lim Hsin Yin, Vice President of Sales – ASEAN, Cohesity.
NetBackup release 11.0 is available globally. Feature benefits include:
- Quantum-proof encryption – guards against “harvest now, decrypt later” quantum computing attacks and protects long-term confidentiality across all major communication paths within NetBackup, from encrypted data in transit and server-side dedupe, to client-side dedupe, and more.
- Broadened user behaviour monitoring – monitors for an expanded range of unusual user actions. This unique capability can stop or slow down an attack, even when threat actors compromise administrative credentials with an intent to destroy data.
- Improved risk scoring – further strengthens the security posture of your data by automatically provisioning recommended values for more security settings. Malicious configuration changes can be stopped by dynamically intercepting suspicious changes with multi-factor authentication.
- Expanded cloud support – protects additional cloud workloads and increases efficiency with shorter backup windows in the cloud. NetBackup has extended PaaS workloads protection to support Yugabyte; Amazon DocumentDB; Amazon Neptune; Azure Cosmos DB (Cassandra and Table API); Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server and Oracle Snapshots; and Azure DevOps/GitHub/GitLab. NetBackup 11.0 also enables image replication and disaster recovery from cloud archive tiers like Amazon S3 Glacier and Azure Archive.
NetBackup is endorsed by Sheltered Harbor for meeting the most stringent cybersecurity requirements of U.S. financial institutions and other organisations worldwide. Learn more about the new NetBackup 11.0 features.
