Quantum Corporation announces its latest innovations to protect against ransomware and other forms of cyberattacks. Quantum’s Scalar® Ransom Block is an industry-first feature of Quantum’s Scalar tape systems that eliminates the risk of data being accessed or compromised over the network.
This patent-pending feature creates a hardware ‘block’ between data stored on tapes and every network-connected device including the robotic tape system. Ransom Block can be initiated remotely, does not require any person to handle tapes, ensures data cannot be accessed over the network even if the tape library is hacked, and preserves the ability to audit the tape library so customers know their data is safe and secure.
