Huawei released the industry’s first multilayer ransomware protection (MRP) solution based on network-storage collaboration today at the Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference (GISEC) 2023.
During ransomware attacks, hackers encrypt user data and restrict asset access and force victims to pay a ransom to unlock it. Ransomware attacks can not only cause service interruption, but also result in massive reputational damage for the victims.
All ransomware attacks share some important key features. Keeping this in mind, Huawei’s innovative MRP solution instead turns to data protection capabilities that are based on network-storage collaboration. Its three core capabilities — network-storage detection, network-storage response, and network-storage recovery — are able to better prevent data encryption and theft than competing solutions.
Launching the solution, Karanveer Padghane, Chief Architect of Enterprise BG, Huawei Middle East & Central Asia said, “The new multilayer ransomware protection (MRP) technology built on network-storage collaboration reinforces the protection and minimizes the impact of ransomware attacks on any business, delivering even zero service downtime.”
Huawei was awarded the Network Security Innovator of the Year at the ITP.net Security Leadership Awards for its Multilayer Ransomware Protection Solution. As per the jury, Huawei was granted the award for developing the industry’s first Data Center Multilayer Ransomware Protection solution, transforming cyber security protection capabilities from passive response to proactive defense.
