Abstract

We are in the midst of another pandemic in the world, this time caused by cyber criminals in the form of Ransomware. The incidents have risen spectacularly and point to the urgency that all parts of the stack do everything possible to identify and recover from these attacks. Effective security measures are to be implemented in the application, OS, hypervisor, FS, host system management, network and in the storage arrays. Computational storage provides a useful mechanism to offload key statistical indicators to the SSD closer to where the data resides. This presentation will highlight the latest ransomware detection assistance mechanisms by IBM within IBM’s computational storage Flash Control Modules (FCMs).
