Security News > 2021 > February > Nutanix announces additional ransomware protections in its cloud platform

Nutanix announced additional ransomware protections in the company's cloud platform.

A recent Gartner report shared that, "In 2020, in particular, there have been swift changes to threats with increased remote work and targeted malware campaigns that take advantage of worldwide events, such as COVID-19. Ransomware has evolved beyond the commodity, widespread attacks intended to infect a single endpoint to include more advanced techniques, such as fileless malware and data exfiltration []. These new strains of ransomware make prevention and planning more important than ever to prevent ransomware attacks."

The Nutanix cloud platform now delivers anomaly detection based on machine learning and IP reputation services with the company's security networking operations and monitoring solution, Flow Security Central, a feature with Nutanix Flow.

Flow Security Central also monitors endpoints to identify traffic coming from disreputable locations, something especially helpful for defending Virtual Desktop Infrastructure deployments that are prime targets for initial ransomware infection and spread. Closer to the application layer, the Nutanix cloud platform now also includes native ransomware detection for file storage services within Nutanix Files.

To further protect application data from ransomware attacks, the Nutanix cloud platform now includes new features within the object storage solution, Nutanix Objects.

"Enterprises need a defense in depth approach to security, starting with their IT infrastructure. However, the right security tools need to also be simple and seamless to implement. Nutanix delivers a strengthened cloud platform out of the box, with an even richer set of ransomware protections available now."
