Everpure pitches storage as the last line of cyber defense in the AI era
Everpure Inc. today reinforced its Enterprise Data Cloud vision by defining the storage layer as the last line of defense in modern cyber resilience, an architecture the company argues is essential as artificial intelligence accelerates the pace and sophistication of attacks against enterprises.
The data management company, formerly known as Pure Storage until it changed its name in February, said its approach assumes that perimeter security will fail. It shifts the focus to guaranteeing that recovery points themselves cannot be corrupted, tampered with or locked out, even by an attacker who has obtained administrative access.
Sitting underneath all of this is a control plane that is walled off from the production environment and covers both on-premises and cloud storage. It keeps a clean copy of the data that no production administrator can touch. The point, Everpure says, is to cover the obvious case of an attack wiping data out and the less obvious case of data being quietly corrupted and the damage only showing up months later. By the company’s own figures, fewer than three in 10 ransomware victims ever fully recover their files.
