Zerto, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company,
has today announced the availability of a series of major product updates,
bringing its ransomware recovery capabilities to the leading cloud providers so
organizations can recover in minutes at scale to seconds before an attack. The
enhanced Zerto 9.5 now includes expanded immutability options with Azure and
S3-compatible storage, a new Zerto Linux appliance with security enhancements,
and expanded integrations with Google Cloud Platform.
"Organizations face increased risks from
the volume and sophistication of ransomware attacks prevalent today," said
Deepak Verma, VP of products at Zerto. "With the capabilities we have added to
the latest Zerto platform, customers are better positioned to meet new
challenges head-on and mitigate their impact by recovering more quickly and
with confidence."
New updates to Zerto 9.5 and Zerto Backup
for SaaS, powered by Keepit, are designed to address a wide range of data
protection issues, including ransomware, the most prevalent cyber threat facing
organizations today. These key updates extend Zerto's leadership in ransomware
resilience to enhance ransomware recovery, security, and platform support. They
include:
- Immutability - Immutable data copies are largely immune from ransomware and can
be used to recover encrypted data after a ransomware attack. Zerto has added
Microsoft Azure and S3-compatible storage as a destination for immutable data
copies for ransomware recovery. In addition, Zerto Backup for SaaS, powered by
Keepit, now offers offsite immutable backups of Azure Active Directory, a
critical component for recovering quickly from ransomware.
- New
Zerto Linux Appliance - A secure management layer
is key to ransomware resilience. Zerto's new Linux virtual appliance deploys
quickly, enables increased security through multi-factor authentication (MFA),
and offers easy management via hands-off upgrades and troubleshooting.
- Expanded
Integration with Google Cloud Platform - Data protection
to cloud platforms offers increased protection from ransomware. Google Cloud
Storage is now a destination platform for additional data copies for recovery.
- Instant
File Restore for Linux - In a ransomware attack, as
well as for many other incidents, the ability to restore a file or multiple
files quickly can be an effective way to recover encrypted, deleted, or
corrupted data. In addition to recovering entire Windows and Linux machines
instantly and instant file restore for Windows, Zerto now has instant file
restore for Linux, which enables users to restore directly back to the source
within Linux VMs.
"Zerto has become an invaluable technology
partner as we build resilient infrastructure to meet our data protection
objectives, remain compliant, and address the wide-ranging uncertainties we see
today," said Francesco Bruzzesi, senior system engineer at Fondo Est. "This
level of continual improvement and innovation gives us confidence to invest in
our technology strategy and build for the future."
