OSNexus Announces QuantaStor 6.5 with Anomaly Detection

by Lauren Grob

OSNexus, leading developer of grid-scale software-defined storage solutions, today announced the newest release of its QuantaStor platform with anomaly detection for ransomware, platform updates, and web user interface enhancements.

QuantaStor 6.5 introduces anomaly detection to help to identify anomalous Network Share usage and raises alerts when possible ransomware activity has been detected. This is accomplished through continuous file system monitoring and comparing file activity levels to predefined thresholds for 'normal' usage. This feature, paired with the Snapshot Schedule feature, provides critical ransomware protection.

"These features go hand-in-hand with QuantaStor's immutable snapshots and WORM support, enabling organizations to more rapidly detect and respond to anomalous activity like ransomware attacks."
