In a recent interview with VMblog, Aron Brand, CTO of CTERA, discussed the company’s ambitious plans to become a leader in “cyberstorage” – an approach that deeply integrates cybersecurity into storage solutions. Brand explained how CTERA’s Ransom Protect suite uses deception technology, honeypots, and AI-powered detection to combat double extortion ransomware tactics, which not only encrypt data but also steal and threaten to release sensitive information. He highlighted Ransom Protect’s multiple layers of security, including immutable backups, to ensure data remains safe and accessible even if ransomware manages to encrypt files.
