Abstract

CyberT-attacks, including ransomware are a huge concern for all organizations. There is significant attention in the industry to perimeter security improvements and such things as immutable copies to recover quickly from attacks. Unfortunately, attackers sometimes get in despite our best efforts. Detecting these intrusions quickly is vitally important. It had been thought that there was not much that block storage could do since it may not know the context of the data it is processing. However, IBM with its computational storage device, the FlashCore Module, has figured out how to do AI based ransomware detection within its storage array. This talk will give insight into how it is done and a vision for where we can go from here.
