Everpure’s immutable snapshots provide accelerated malware attack recovery

Everpure announced its in-array immutable snapshots and 1touch context data technology provide accelerated recovery from ransomware attacks, positioning the system as a last line of defense against AI-energized malware. The Everpure Data Cloud guarantees data recovery by reducing weeks of downtime to hours and days to minutes, with human-in-the-loop governance overseeing all sensitive data actions. The company argues that traditional backup methods are insufficient, requiring immutable in-place snapshots that can instantly roll back to a last known clean state.

security Everpure’s immutable snapshots provide accelerated malware attack recovery Everpure https://www.blocksandfiles.com/flash/2026/04/23/everpure-reveals-supply-chain-issues-warns-customers/5218662 says its in-array immutable snapshots, combined with 1touch context data, provide a solid last line of defence against ransomware with fast recoveries and humans at the governance gate. It believes that, with agentic AI spreading, data operations will speed up and malware may well become energized by AI agents, with attacks possibly becoming more frequent and penetrating perimeter defences. Data has to be stored as if it were gold in Fort Knox, with immutable snapshots providing the core defensive capability, IT estate context organizing critical attack datasets, and humans-in-the-loop managing recoveries. It says its Everpure Data Cloud https://www.blocksandfiles.com/ai-ml/2025/06/18/pure-debuts-enterprise-data-cloud-with-fusion-updates-and-new-flasharray-systems/100996 environment guarantees data recovery, turning weeks of downtime into hours, days of it into minutes Prakash Darji, General Manager of Digital Experience at Everpure, said: "The modern enterprise is defined by its data, yet most organizations are flying blind, treating their most valuable asset as a commodity to be warehoused. We are doubling down on that reality. By architecting our platform to be both data-aware and inherently resilient, we aren't just managing data—we are delivering an insurance policy against the chaos of the AI era. We are giving our customers the certainty that no matter what happens at the perimeter, the heartbeat of their business stays strong." There are three aspects to this: - Autonomous Resilience: Continuous operations through upgrades, patching, and active attacks, driven by the Everpure Protect https://www.everpuredata.com/products/cyber-recovery.html Service, which provides automated cyber recovery for VMware with isolated recovery environments IREs , dynamic testing and dynamic provisioning. It correlates external threat signals with storage-level insights to trigger preemptive hardening. It acts as an automated active defense layer, working with Everpure Fusion, to remediate configuration gaps and enforce security standards across endpoints. - Trusted Recovery: Everpure has a Human-in-the-Loop HITL mandate, requiring multi-party, out-of-band authorization for any sensitive data action. It uses Security Presets to eliminate configuration drift and ensure SafeMode snapshots are active by default. Even if an adversary or rogue AI gains administrative control of the production environment, the data layer remains isolated and ready for verified restoration, being walled off. - Economic Predictability: As the average cost of a data breach reaches $4.44 million, Everpure Evergreen/One customers eliminate “the financial sting of disruptive upgrades and downtime.” The acquired 1touch technology maps links between business applications and their underlying data, so that critical app data dependencies are known and can be restored effectively. Darji told us:” A backup is not okay in a separate system. It could be compromised. You need immutable in- place snapshots that could roll back to the primary system. The bandwidth of mounting the backup back to the primary system is now too long from a time-to-recover standpoint.” He reckons previous defensive measures aren’t good enough: “We need to natively find denial of service, data exfiltration, encryption, time-bound attacks. And the problem with detection in the past is people were looking for malware and signatures and that's a losing proposition. More signatures and malware will be built. So instead of detecting what's dirty, you have to flip the paradigm and detect what's clean. What if, as you're doing something, you could tag your last known clean goods snapshot continuously?” “The moment something happens, you already instantly know your rollback version. You're not waiting to discover what the thing is. All you're detecting is time of an incident. Your rollback is already a priority known on last known good copy before that timestamp.” The 1touch software is crucial to this, Darji saying: “How do you detect what's clean? This is where our acquisition of OneTouch comes in, because, at the end of the day, 1touch scans all of your information. It's a scanner that connects into the database, into the file system, into the SaaS system. It scans and knows the integrity of the format of the data and can tag whether it's been altered. It can tell whether you added a zero to an invoice.” 1touch can give you a hundred percent clean guarantee that this snapshot that was taken is immutable and is your last known clean copy. Darji again: “1touch scans all data, not even just data on Everpure arrays, but all data on third-party arrays, on SAS systems. It comes from the DSPM space. It scans every data element in your landscape so you can tag data quality. Once I have the physical metadata that I have and I have the 1touch scanning data, then I can get to high granularity of it's these files and not those files that were impacted.” You recover what’s damaged and critical, not everything by default. Agentic AI adds urgency here. We are entering an era when AI agents are going to be starting operating at speeds far, far beyond what human actors can do and you can't react to them in terms of a human reaction timescale. We have to react to them and detect them much, much faster. Outside SIEM signals are used too by the Everpure Protect Service to detect malware intrusions, such as CrowdStrike or Rubrik Threat Intelligence sending in an alert. Everpure cites a Fortune 100 customer which had a malware attack; “Using stolen credentials and native tools, the attackers crippled the identity and compute layers, deleting thousands of endpoints and virtual clusters.” But even with global admin privilege they could not access, modify or delete SafeMode snapshots and this: “allowed the organization to restore revenue-critical operations in hours rather than weeks.” Darji tells us that the “Mississippi of Department of Revenue, one of our customers, has never had downtime in eight years. … HealthEdge … was able to get their entire production application landscape back up and running in four hours versus 14 on their previous vendor. So the whole goal is how do you move RTO and RPO to zero in a world of AI?” Its active defender, immutable snapshot functionality is included in Everpure’s standard product offering. And another thing Everpure recently announced Red Hat OpenShift capabilities with a v2.2 Portworx Plugin bringing storage and data management directly into the OpenShift console and integrated support for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management. Portworx for Edge on OpenShift provides automated data protection and encryption for 2-to-5 node Kubernetes clusters at the edge. The new capabilities are available now, including Portworx Enterprise 3.6, Portworx Plugin 2.2 for Red Hat OpenShift and Portworx Backup 2.11.
