IBM DATA PROTECTION SOLUTIONS

IBM Pattern Recognition Readiness Assessment

Covenco and IBM are joining forces to offer a comprehensive assessment to determine if your storage systems have Pattern Recognition capabilities, and what it will take to enable the technology to deliver new levels of ransomware protection.

ADVANCED DATA PROTECTION MEASURES

What is IBM's Advanced Pattern Recognition Technology?

Pattern Recognition is a game-changer in ransomware detection and prevention. The technology is a revolutionary concept that leverages advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyse vast datasets. It identifies recurring patterns or anomalies, making it particularly effective for detecting the encryption patterns prevalent within ransomware attacks.

When applied to IBM FlashSystem storage, this technology scans for telltale signs of ransomware encryption processes, such as abrupt and widespread file encryption, file extension modifications, and changes in file headers.

IBM’s pattern recognition technology stands out for its adaptability. Unlike traditional signature-based methods that rely on known attack signatures, pattern recognition can identify previously unseen ransomware variants, providing early warning and proactive protection.

The Ongoing Ransomware Threat

Ransomware attacks continue to be a menacing force, jeopardising organisations of all sizes. These insidious attacks entail cybercriminals encrypting an organisation’s data and extorting a ransom, often leaving behind a trail of financial, operational, and reputational devastation.

The Imperative for Advanced Detection
Traditional security measures are often ill-equipped to contend with the rapid mutation of ransomware variants, necessitating innovative approaches to detection.

IBM’s Breakthrough: Pattern Recognition
IBM’s pattern recognition technology emerges as a proactive response to this pressing challenge, offering a means to identify ransomware encryption within storage systems. IBM’s pattern recognition thrives on artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, perpetually learning from data and adapting to novel patterns and behaviours – a necessity in combating ever-evolving ransomware.

How IBM Pattern Recognition Works

In-Depth Data Inspection and Analysis
IBM’s pattern recognition solution scans data repositories hosted on IBM storage systems, meticulously examining file attributes, access patterns, and behavioural data.

Identifying Ransomware Indicators
The technology uniquely identifies ransomware-associated indicators, including the swift, far-reaching encryption of files – a hallmark of ransomware activity. This capacity distinguishes ransomware activities from normal data access behaviours.

Navigating the Ransomware Landscape
IBM’s pattern recognition offers a distinct advantage by adapting to emerging ransomware variants. Unlike conventional signature-based methods relying on known ransomware signatures, it detects previously unseen variants by identifying innovative patterns and behaviours, enabling early warnings even without recognized signatures.

The Benefits of IBM Pattern Recognition

Early-Stage Ransomware Detection
Foremost among its advantages is the technology’s aptitude for detecting ransomware activities in their nascent stages. Timely identification empowers organisations to stop the damage proactively.

Adaptability and Future-Proofing
Pattern recognition’s adaptability safeguards organisations against new and evolving ransomware threats. This resilience is indispensable in the dynamic threat landscape.

Mitigating False Positives
IBM’s pattern recognition technology minimises false positive alerts, channelling security resources toward legitimate threats rather than inundating teams with erroneous notifications.

Implementation Integration Considerations

Integration with IBM Storage Systems
IBM’s pattern recognition solution is designed for seamless integration with existing IBM storage infrastructures, ensuring a smooth and effective deployment when implemented by Covenco’s storage technicians.

Requisite System Parameters
Successful implementation may necessitate specific hardware and software requisites, which organisations must be prepared to fulfil. Covenco is on hand to run a thorough readiness assessment on existing IBM storage systems to determine the suitability and updates needed to take full advantage of this opportunity.

Tackling Integration Hurdles
Addressing potential integration challenges is imperative to implement pattern recognition into an organisation’s storage environment effectively. Covenco’s team of storage and data protection technicians will help uncover any requirements for successfully implementing this technology.

Uninterrupted Monitoring and Alerting
Once deployed, pattern recognition technology monitors data access patterns, issuing alerts when potential ransomware activities surface.

Automated Response Framework
Automated responses can be triggered to identify ransomware activities, including isolating affected files or temporarily suspending data access to halt further encryption.

Containment and Data Recovery Protocols
In the unfortunate event of a confirmed ransomware attack, organizations can leverage backup and recovery functions to restore compromised data from a clean, immutable state.
