The new capabilities reflect the company’s continued commitment to, and investment in the NetBackup data protection solution, providing customers with data security innovations such as quantum-proof encryption, advanced analytics to identify high-risk user behavior, and support for more PaaS workloads.

“This represents the most powerful NetBackup software release to date for defending against today’s sophisticated threats and preparing for those to come,” said Vasu Murthy, senior vice president and chief product officer, Cohesity. “Securing a modern data estate can be increasingly challenging for organizations, especially as cybercriminals evolve their attack methods. Defense strategies must also evolve. The latest NetBackup features give customers smarter ways to minimize the impact of attacks now and post quantum.”

NetBackup release 11.0 is available globally. Feature benefits include:

Quantum-proof encryption – guards against “harvest now, decrypt later” quantum computing attacks and protects long-term confidentiality across all major communication paths within NetBackup, from encrypted data in transit and server-side dedupe, to client-side dedupe, and more.

Broadened user behavior monitoring – monitors for an expanded range of unusual user actions. This unique capability can stop or slow down an attack, even when threat actors compromise administrative credentials with an intent to destroy data.

Improved risk scoring – further strengthens the security posture of your data by automatically provisioning recommended values for more security settings. Malicious configuration changes can be stopped by dynamically intercepting suspicious changes with multi-factor authentication.

Expanded cloud support – protects additional cloud workloads and increases efficiency with shorter backup windows in the cloud. NetBackup has extended PaaS workloads protection to support Yugabyte; Amazon DocumentDB; Amazon Neptune; Azure Cosmos DB (Cassandra and Table API); Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server and Oracle Snapshots; and Azure DevOps/GitHub/GitLab. NetBackup 11.0 also enables image replication and disaster recovery from cloud archive tiers like Amazon S3 Glacier and Azure Archive.
