IBM FlashSystem 5045: Cyber Resilience and Recovery Solutions from Leading China Suppliers and Factory
Product Description
IBM FlashSystem 5045: Safeguarding data with enhanced cyber resilience and recovery
The IBM FlashSystem 5045 data resilience and cyber security capabilities include:
Safeguarded Copy
Protects your data from cyberattacks with immutable and isolated copies that are hidden, non-addressable, and cannot be altered, encrypted, or deleted. In the event of an attack, these copies can be quickly restored to support recovery.
Multi-factor Authentication
Adds multiple layers of authentication before authorization is given to any IBM system.
Two-Person Integrity
Gives administrators the ability to determine what features require two independent users to execute critical functions such as deletion, encryption, or copying of data.
Role-based Access Control
An extra layer of protection that allows a subset of authorized users access to specific data on your FlashSystem storage arrays.
In-line Threat Detection
Includes IBM’s recently added in-line threat detection capabilities to Storage Virtualize, to identify data changes that might indicate a potential cyber-attack.
