When all else fails, your backups are your lifeline and your last defense against the effects of ransomware and outages. Ensuring your backups are secure is essential to building a resilient operation.

Storage and backup compliance reporting can save your organization from data loss, expensive fines, and reputational damage. According to NIST Special Publication 800-209: ‘Security Guidelines For Storage Infrastructure’, organizations are required to: “Periodically and proactively assess configuration compliance to storage security policy.”

However, creating monitoring policies and reports is often tedious and time-consuming. To ensure your storage and your backups are secure on an ongoing basis, you need to automate this process. But how?

What you’ll learn:

• How to establish a security baseline for your storage and backups, and then validate configuration compliance
• Automate the detection and remediation of security misconfigurations, and prove adherence with security regulations and standards
• Apply stricter controls and more testing of storage & backup security, and your ability to recover from a ransomware attack
• Develop KPIs to track the compliance to storage security baselines, based on types of data, their organization function, and their sensitivity.
