Hitachi Ops Center Protector Datasheet

In today's cyberthreat landscape, a response plan is a must, and to be effective, it needs to include both proactive and reactive elements. Data used to recover servers and applications has become a prime target for hackers, who seek out backup services and repositories to both destroy the data and sabotage the recovery effort. Storage-based data protection is an ideal approach to defending against cyber-attacks because it provides true immutability with minimal visibility on the attack surface. Hitachi Vantara and VM2020 have partnered to integrate unique capabilities of Hitachi Ops Center Protector with VM2020 CyberVR to provide customers with isolated "thin digital twin" environments. Within this environment, capabilities include creating an isolated server or application group to proactively test protection copies for recoverability, as well as running IO-intensive ransomware/malware scans with no impact to production applications. Thin digital twins can also be used for patch and change management, full-force penetration testing, security control validation, remediation testing, and ransomware recovery. The "thin" element comes from safely leveraging existing storage snapshots for near-instant provisioning, all with a minimal storage footprint.

Transforming Backup Data into Action

CyberVR^TM is a software platform that makes full-scale isolated, extremely realistic, and continuous cybersecurity and DevOps testing possible without affecting production systems, a first in technology risk mitigation.

CyberVR^TM creates fully functional copies of production systems in mere minutes without the need for additional infrastructure. These thin digital twins are automatically instrumented and made easily accessible for interactive manipulation by multi-disciplinary teams to optimize workflows, validate change management procedures, test recoverability of servers and applications, and collect evidence of cybersecurity capabilities or weaknesses.
