Veritas has announced that its NetBackup and Alta Data Protection products include protection against the threat of compromised user credentials. Alta Copilot can also provide conversational guidance to identify cyber vulnerabilities and operational inefficiencies, proactively assist with troubleshooting, and guide users through complex data management tasks.
The company's Alta Cloud is a secure data management platform comprised of multiple Veritas products, including NetBackup, Enterprise Vault, and cloud-native Alta Data Protection. It features an extensible architecture called Veritas 360 Defense, with his three focus areas: data protection, data governance, and data security. Many partners work with Veritas in the 360 Defense ecosystem, including CrowdStrike, CyberArk, Microsoft, Qualys, Semperis, and Symantec (Broadcom), and all products are certified and validated in the Veritas REDLab facility.
Veritas UK&I Field CTO Richard Wainwright said: “Ransomware attacks are changing, using more AI-driven techniques to attack the humans operating the system and steal stolen administrator credentials. using it to destroy backup data.''
“This new solution is the industry's first self-learning solution that uses AI to fight AI, enabling enterprises to detect and respond to threats faster, and in turn increase cyber resiliency. It is a type behavior monitoring solution.
NetBackup and Alta Data Protection not only detect anomalies in administrative user behavior, but also automatically flag anomalous administrator behavior and autonomously adjust security parameters such as multi-factor and multi-person authentication. to protect your data by locking down access to it. attack
The Alta AI Copilot portion of Veritas' announcement provides greater functionality for general-purpose administrative staff to use Veritas' data management environment. This is a large-scale language model (LLM) trained according to Veritas best practices and product documentation. According to Veritas, it enables IT generalist administrators to reach the same skill level as highly specialized Veritas experts. This allows customers to get optimal performance from their Veritas infrastructure.
We have five new 360 Defense partners, including Securonix, to help you monitor, protect, and improve threat recovery. According to Veritas, Securonix is a leader in next-generation security information and event management, user and entity behavior analytics, and security orchestration automation and response.
Mark Stevens, Global VP of Channels and Alliances at Securonix, said: “With Securonix joining the Veritas 360 Defense ecosystem, Veritas customers will now have easy access to early warnings from our AI-powered detection solution that stolen credentials are being used across their networks. It also has a wide range of other uses, allowing enterprises and Veritas AI tools to trigger enhanced security measures before a protected environment is compromised.
The names of the other four new partners have not been disclosed. Cohesity has purchased the majority of Veritas' data protection and management products, so it will inherit his self-defending NetBackup and Alta products, 360 Defense ecosystem, and AI Copilot.
