CTERA presents a new service

CTera, a leader in edge-to-cloud file services, has launched during The IT Press Tour in Rome last week its new iteration of its ransomware data protection solution set. The company has clear ambitions in the domain wishing to become #1 in cyber-storage area.

As we already wrote, the first service offered by CTera is Vault with its recent 2.0 version bringing legal hold, object lock and chain of custody in addition of the WORM Cloud Folders and today the granularity has been extended to individual files and objects.

Announced during a past IT Press Tour in Israel in 2023 when we met the team at their HQ in Tel-Aviv, the ransomware protection also has evolved to provide today data exfiltration prevention with the honeypot concept. The team delivered a compelling demo during the session a few days ago with a very easy setup.

The idea is to detect and block in real-time any tentative of data exfiltration based on decoy files that serve as honeypots. So today is not just about ransomware protection with encrypted files but also the export and copy of files being a modern data leak prevention approach. To solve this CTera implements the dynamic creation of decoy files to redirect and identify attacks and then blocked them. CTera leverages some AI to boost analysis when some potential anomalies are detected.

CTera continues to develop its enterprise file services platform as a very rapid pace confirming its place to offer one of the most comprehensive solutions today.
