CTERA Ransom Protect
AI Ransomware Prevention, Detection, and Recovery
Take steps to safeguard your data with ransomware protection. CTERA’s hybrid cloud data platform features Ransom Protect, a state-of-the-art AI ransomware protection mechanism that identifies and halts ransomware attacks in real time. Should a ransomware attack occur, you can instantly recover the ‘locked’ data from immutable snapshots.
Meet AI-Powered Protection
CTERA Ransom Protect employs advanced machine learning algorithms to swiftly identify and block suspicious file activities. Enhanced with honeypot capabilities, Ransom Protect empowers us to identify and stop unauthorized access or attempts at data theft, effectively neutralizing threats before significant damage can occur.
Close the
Backup Gap
Backup products for endpoints and servers typically back up data every 8 to 24 hours. In contrast, CTERA offers continuous real-time protection, synchronizing the data to air-gapped, immutable object storage. This enables superior ransomware protection, with a RPO (recovery point objective) from attacks measured in minutes or seconds.
Trust in Immutable Snapshots
Over 90% of ransomware attacks target backups. To combat this, CTERA securely stores snapshots in immutable, air-gapped object storage. These cannot be deleted or modified during the retention period, effectively creating a safe haven for your data. This strategy thwarts ransomware from destroying your recovery options.
Get Instant Disaster Recovery
CTERA’s caching technology not only replicates the data continuously to the cloud, but offers near-immediate disaster recovery and ransomware mitigation following an attack, even when tens of terabytes need to be rolled back.
Benefit from Zero-Trust Architecture
CTERA is the only global filesystem to have a Zero-Trust architecture. Edge filers never store or receive credentials for the object storage. All storage operations are performed with single-use tokens provided by an authorization service in the CTERA Portal.

FAQ
How are ransomware attacks detected?
Our ransomware protection, CTERA Ransom Protect, uses activity sensors integrated into the file system, which feed data into an advanced machine learning algorithm. This algorithm is trained on a large dataset of attack flows and can identify behavioral anomalies that suggest fraudulent file activity. It can block offending users within seconds of detecting an issue.
How long would it take if my organization were attacked by ransomware and I needed to recover large quantity of data?
Thanks to our advanced caching technology and instant recovery feature, rolling back data following a ransomware attack can be near-instantaneous. And you’ll immediately regain access to recovered files on your mapped network drives. There’s no need to wait for all the damaged data to be restored.
Does CTERA rely on signature updates for blocking ransomware?
No, we offer Zero-Day Protection. CTERA Ransom Protect doesn’t rely on traditional signature update services. It uses advanced AI and machine learning algorithms to detect and block ransomware attacks. In addition to behavioral anomaly detection, We also offer signature-based malware protection that blocks known attacks.
What kind of management tools does CTERA Ransom Protect provide for dealing with ransomware attacks?
CTERA Ransom Protect provides an administrator dashboard that enables real-time attack monitoring, comprehensive incident evidence logging, and post-attack forensics. This helps administrators manage and mitigate incidents more effectively.
How are my backups protected against ransomware?
To counter the fact that over 90% of ransomware attacks target backups, we securely store snapshots in immutable, air-gapped object storage. These can’t be deleted or modified during the retention period, effectively creating a safe haven for your data. This strategy prevents ransomware from destroying your recovery options.
Do I need to install additional software to enable the ransomware protection capabilities?
You can activate CTERA Ransom Protect in a single click on CTERA Edge Filers; everything is built in.
I already have an EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solution, do I still need Ransom Protect?
Yes, even with an EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solution, CTERA Ransom Protect is still beneficial due to its layered security approach. EDR may not cover many types of devices, such as printers or medical devices on your network. Remember, it only takes one compromised device to disrupt an entire network. CTERA Ransom Protect adds an extra layer of security, safeguarding your file storage and backup systems, the primary targets of attackers, thus complementing your existing EDR solution and enhancing your defense against ransomware
