It is important to have resilience against Cyber-attacks. StoneFly offers enterprise level solutions which provide resilience against Cyber-attacks and deliver backup and disaster recovery for the enterprise.
StoneFly’s SCVM Data Encryption Feature for a Data Protection from Cyber Attacks:
In order to save private data from malicious attacks or hacks, encryption is used. This method is not new. Now we use electronic devices to generate unique encryption algorithms to scramble our data. It is the method by which a plaintext or any type of data is encoded. The encoded data can only be decoded by the person who has the decryption key. This method keeps the data protected. The encrypted data is commonly referred to as the cipher text, while unencrypted data is called plain text. Storage encryption means the use of encryption/decryption for backed-up and archived data, both in transit and on storage media. All products of StoneFly deliver encryption to facilitate data security.

- Enterprise SAN in the Cloud (Cloud Block Storage), create SAN volumes in the cloud with multiple data services like deduplication, encryption, Snapshot and much more with 10x faster performance.
- SAN + NAS in the Cloud, create iSCSI targets on the cloud and assign them to hosts or create NAS in the cloud and share access with multiple hosts.
In the case of Cyber-attacks the SCVM™ disconnects the disks automatically on which data is backed up and thus this prevents the damage, corruption or exploitation of data which you have.
