This Pure Storage white paper presents a layered cyber resilience architecture to defend against ransomware and destructive attacks. It emphasizes both visibility—through fast, bottleneck-free analytics platforms—and resilience, using SafeMode snapshots and multi-tiered storage for rapid recovery. The three layers include: (1) primary storage with immutable snapshots, (2) offloaded snapshots for forensic analysis, and (3) backup storage for long-term retention. The framework supports fast searches, threat hunting, and minimal downtime. It helps organizations recover quickly while ensuring data integrity and operational continuity in a crisis.
