NetApp and Cisco are teaming up to boost Cyber Resilience. They created a new Splunk SOAR playbook, too. As a result, enterprises can respond to ransomware threats faster and more effectively.
The Cyber Resilience initiative links NetApp ONTAP storage with Splunk SOAR workflows, enabling automated responses right at the data layer. Thus, organizations minimize risks and data exposure during attacks.
“With AI accelerating both the speed and sophistication of cyberattacks, the window to respond has never been smaller,” said Sandeep Singh, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Platform at NetApp. “To limit the cost and impact of ransomware, organizations must act the moment a threat is detected, which means extending security automation into the storage layer where data lives. As the company delivering the most secure storage on the planet, NetApp is uniquely positioned to make storage an active part of a defense-in-depth strategy. By working with Cisco to enable Splunk SOAR workflows to take direct action on data stored in NetApp ONTAP®, we’re helping make a defense-in-depth security strategy simpler and more effective.”
Enhancing Automated Threat Response and Data Protection
A new playbook lets security teams act quickly by blocking suspicious users and isolating affected data volumes. They can also make snapshots to protect vital data, which helps contain ransomware before it spreads.
Splunk Enterprise Security integrates with NetApp’s Ransomware Resilience solutions, boosting incident detection and prioritization. Now, response actions are automated and more accurate thanks to a new playbook. Thus, NetApp and Cisco simplify Cyber Resilience for businesses. Enterprises enhance protection, cut recovery time, and boost operational efficiency as well.
“Effective security strategies require visibility and action across the entire technology stack, including the data layer,” said David Dalling, GVP, Splunk Security at Cisco. “With the new NetApp Splunk SOAR playbook, ONTAP storage becomes an active participant in the security ecosystem, enabling organizations to contain threats directly targeting enterprise data. By connecting NetApp storage into Splunk SOAR workflows, we’re helping security and storage teams collaborate more seamlessly and respond to incidents with greater speed and confidence.”
“The partnership between Splunk and NetApp helps customers run their businesses more securely and effectively, connecting operations across storage and security teams,” said Dallas Olson, Chief Commercial Officer at NetApp. “By giving customers real-time visibility into what’s happening across their environments, NetApp and Splunk enable enterprises to reduce disruption and optimize performance so they can use their data to drive measurable business outcomes.”
