The attackers realize that an attack on the storage or system is the single biggest determining factor to show if the organization will pay the ransom.

Security Hardening for Storage and Backup Systems

StorageGuard - by Core6 provides security hardening for all storage and backup systems, to improve your security posture, enable cyber-resiliency, and meet IT audit requirements.

StorageGuard checks the security configuration of your storage and backup systems - ensuring those systems are hardened, meet security best practices, and comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

For the first time, get complete visibility of security risks across these mission-critical systems, and ensure compliance with security regulations and industry standards

StorageGuard supports Dell, NetApp, Hitachi Vantara, Everpure, IBM, Broadcom (Brocade), Cisco, VAST, HPE, Huawei, Infinidat (Lenovo), Nasuni, Rubrik, Cohesity (incl. Veritas Netbackup), Commvault, Veeam, and more.

Benefits:

• Ensure your storage and backup systems are continuously hardened, to withstand cyberattacks
• Eliminate manual security validation efforts, and continuously validate against your security baseline
• Eliminate configuration drift – by tracking security configuration changes
• Leverage remediation guidance to speed time-to-resolve
• Meet IT audit requirements, providing evidence for compliance

"That’s what I appreciate about solutions like StorageGuard, which I’ve used for three years. It gets inside the perimeter to scan storage and SAN. Those are areas other tools just don’t touch.” Kevin Battle, Senior Storage Administrator, Charter

Discover

Continuously analyzes your storage & backup systems, to automatically detect security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, The built-in knowledgebase of checks covers:

• Security best-practices from storage & backup vendors
• Standards (NIST, ISO, CIS, DORA, PCI etc.) as applied to storage & backup systems
• Vulnerabilities (CVEs) in the storage & backup environment
• Commonly used security baselines

Prioritize

Prioritizes those risks in order of urgency and business impact.

Remediate

Provides clear security remediation commands and guidance, which can be integrated into your IT service management and SIEM workflows.

For every finding, StorageGuard provides detailed remediation commands for your team to quickly resolve the issue. This can also be integrated into your IT service management and SIEM workflows.

Improve your security posture

StorageGuard improves the ransomware-readiness and overall security posture of your storage and backup systems. We reduce the effort required by IT operations and storage teams to develop and enforce security policies, prove compliance for audit, and chase down false positive CVE alerts raised by tools that aren’t storage-aware.

Meet IT Audit requirements

StorageGuard provides broad storage and backup system support, and an extremely wide knowledgebase of automated checks, built on industry standards (e.g., NIST, ISO, and CIS), regulatory frameworks (e.g., PCI and DORA), and storage & backup vendor best practices. This makes it easy to audit and report on security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities across your entire storage and backup infrastructure.

Fills a major gap

StorageGuard fills a critical gap in security posture management. Existing tools by the likes of Tenable, Qualys and Rapid7 provide almost zero coverage for storage and backup systems.

StorageGuard was previously known as Data Security Advisor.
