In today’s hyper-connected digital landscape, cyber threats are evolving faster than ever.
Ransomware, insider threats, and data exfiltration attempts are no longer “if” scenarios—they’re “when.” As a result, organisations need to think beyond traditional cybersecurity defences and build cyber resilience directly into their storage infrastructure. That’s where Cyber Storage and Superna step in as game-changers.
What Is Cyber Storage?
Cyber Storage refers to a new class of storage architecture designed with embedded cyber protection, detection, and recovery capabilities. Unlike legacy storage systems that passively store data, cyber storage actively contributes to your organisation's security posture.
Key characteristics of cyber storage include:
- Immutable backups: Protecting data from being encrypted or deleted by ransomware.
- Real-time anomaly detection: Monitoring access patterns for signs of compromise.
- Rapid recovery and orchestration: Minimising downtime and data loss in the event of an attack.
- Air-gapped architectures: Providing secure isolation for critical datasets.
Cyber storage goes together with Zero Trust principles and helps bridge the gap between IT operations and cybersecurity teams.
Enter Superna: Cybersecurity for Your Storage Layer
Superna is a leading platform that brings cybersecurity capabilities directly into the data layer. Initially known for its deep integration with file and object storage systems, Superna now plays a central role in helping enterprises detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats affecting storage.
Superna’s Core Capabilities:
- Ransomware Defender: Detects abnormal file activity (e.g., mass encryptions or deletions) in real time and triggers automated response workflows.
- Immutable Snapshot Management: Ensures clean copies of your data are always protected and can’t be tampered with.
- Auditing & Compliance: Provides comprehensive file-level audit logs that support regulatory frameworks like HIPAA, GDPR, and CMMC.
- Automated Recovery: Orchestrates fast failover to clean snapshots, reducing Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and mitigating business disruption.
- AirGap CyberVault: Delivers secure data isolation zones to preserve gold copies of mission-critical data.
Why It Matters Now
Ransomware attackers are targeting backup systems and storage repositories more than ever, making traditional backup solutions insufficient on their own. Superna and cyber storage architectures bring visibility and protection closer to the data itself—closing the gap between detection and recovery.
Consider these statistics:
- The average ransomware attack causes 21 days of downtime.
- 96% of organizations hit by ransomware had data encrypted.
- The cost of recovery now often exceeds the ransom itself.
By integrating Superna into your cyber storage strategy, you gain real-time monitoring, automated isolation, and confident recovery—all at the storage layer.
Use Case Spotlight: Financial Services
In financial environments, data privacy, uptime, and regulatory compliance are paramount. Superna helps financial institutions:
- Detect early signs of insider threats or credential misuse.
- Protect client data with automated snapshots and isolated recovery points.
- Meet audit and regulatory requirements with immutable logs and access tracking.
Building a Cyber-Resilient Future
As threat actors grow more sophisticated, so must your defences. Cyber storage and Superna together represent a forward-thinking approach that blends security with storage—protecting not just your perimeter, but the data itself.
Conclusion
Superna turns your storage platform into an active participant in your cybersecurity strategy. Paired with modern cyber storage architecture, it helps organisations detect, defend, and recover from threats faster than ever before.
If your organisation is exploring how to make storage a key part of your cyber resilience plan, now is the time to look at Superna.
