May 8, 2024 Zerto’s Cyber Vault Integrates with HPE Alletra

Zerto, which is part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has revealed that its Zerto Cyber Resilience Vault will now work with HPE Alletra.

Zerto, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, has announced that its Zerto Cyber Resilience Vault will now be integrated with HPE Alletra Storage MP, a new storage solution from HPE that delivers high performance for critical workloads with AI. The Cyber Resilience Vault, which allows fast recovery in an isolated environment after severe cyberattacks, has been enhanced with the immutability features of HPE Alletra Storage MP. This means that the data copies are protected from malicious actors. Additionally, HPE Alletra Storage MP offers a 100% data availability guarantee for the landing zone storage within the Cyber Resilience Vault. HPE and Zerto work together to help businesses defend their vital data assets and avoid disruptions in a riskier threat landscape.

“In less than a year, Zerto’s Cyber Resilience Vault has become one of the go-to resilience solutions for modern businesses, and this integration promises to extend its capabilities even further,” said Matt Boris, vice president of global GTM, at Zerto, HPE. “Ransomware attacks are an inescapable fact of life across the globe, and businesses are desperate for solutions that can identify, mitigate, and remediate threats with maximal speed. Zerto is designed to precisely do that, and this update to the Cyber Resilience Vault solution only further confirms Zerto’s standing as an industry leader for resilience.”

Ransomware attacks continue to plague modern businesses, causing an unprecedented $1 billion in damage in 2023 alone. The downtime and disruptions that result from these attacks can take an immense financial toll with some estimates suggesting upwards of $1 million in losses per hour of downtime for larger businesses. However, it’s not just large organizations that can be impacted: ransomware attacks affect businesses of every size, in every industry, in every country in the world.

Zerto’s unique, decentralized, offline vault enables rapid air-gapped recovery, and when paired with HPE Alletra Storage MP, it offers a perfect balance: industry-leading recovery software backed by high-performance, all-flash hardware. Crucially, the Cyber Resilience Vault combines two essential cybersecurity concepts: immutable data copies that are protected against tampering with and an isolated clean room in which to recover those copies. Together, the all-in-one solution can give businesses the peace of mind required to navigate a cybersecurity environment that grows more dangerous with each passing day.

Zerto Cyber Resilience Vault has three core pillars: replicate and detect, isolate and lock, and test and recover. When paired with the vault’s innovative zero-trust architecture, these pillars facilitate rapid air-gapped recovery in a highly secure environment. In addition to mitigating the most devastating ransomware scenarios, the Cyber Resilience Vault is designed to aid keeping businesses in compliance with proliferating state and federal regulations, minimizing the risk of hefty penalties or worse.

Other resilience solutions on the market are hampered by outmoded techniques such as lower-tier backup grade storage and slow, file-based security scanning, which inevitably lead to unacceptably long recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs). These solutions are also only partially isolated and thus more vulnerable to outside attack. Zerto’s air-gapped Cyber Resilience Vault, by contrast, is built with production-grade, all-flash storage with immutable copies created with the proprietary Virtual Lock technology inside HPE Alletra Storage MP to keep attackers out and the data inside safe.
