This Hitachi Vantara white paper presents a ransomware defense strategy using Hitachi Data Protection Suite (HDPS) and Hitachi Content Platform (HCP). It emphasizes a layered approach with data isolation and air gapping to reduce attack surfaces. HDPS creates secure, segmented backups unreachable from public networks, while HCP provides immutable storage with WORM and S3 Object Lock. Communication is outbound-only and encrypted, minimizing risks. Air gapping is orchestrated via automation, shutting down access when not needed. The solution ensures fast, verified recovery through automated workflows, encryption, deduplication, and API-only storage access.
