A cyber vault volume is an isolated, secure storage location used to store backup copies of your data, protecting it from ransomware attacks and other cyber threats. As part of vault creation, you'll create a cyber vault volume, disable all client protocols, and set up a replication relationship between the source volume and the cyber vault volume, and create immutable snapshots on the cyber vault volume.
A cyber vault is a specific data protection technique that involves storing critical data in an isolated environment, separate from the primary IT infrastructure.
The cyber vault is an "air-gapped", immutable, and indelible data repository that is immune to threats affecting the main network, such as malware, ransomware, or even insider threats. A cyber vault can be achieved with immutable and indelible snapshots.
Air-gapping backups that use traditional methods involve creating space and physically separating the primary and secondary media. By moving the media offsite and/or severing connectivity, bad actors have no access to the data. This protects the data but can lead to slower recovery times.
Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is supported as a cyber vault source and target.
Workload Factory provides assistance in creating a cyber vault architecture. After you contact NetApp to express your interest in implementing a cyber vault, a NetApp specialist contacts you to discuss your requirements.
Send an email to ng-FSx-CyberVault@netapp.com to get started.
For more information about cyber vaults and how to set up this architecture, refer to the ONTAP cyber vault documentation.
