Utah Transit Authority Deploys Nexsan Assureon for Automated Archiving & DR
Nexsan protects data that is too vital to lose, too private to expose, and too crucial to be altered.
Nexsan delivers data storage that is optimized for compliance, data preservation, and legal chain of custody needs.
Evidentiary data storage is crucial for organizations across public and private sectors, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory standards, facilitating data required for litigation, supporting internal audits and investigations, and enabling informed decision-making. Essential for both private and public entities, this storage must deliver data integrity, availability, and transparency for effective risk management and safeguarding critical information.
Regulatory Compliance and Data Integrity:
Compliance with legal and regulatory standards is crucial. Assureon offers advanced security features for regulatory compliance, including Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), GDPR, PCI-DSS, SOX, SEC-17, and HIPAA. Assureon can also offload data from primary storage to simplify backups, ensuring long-term file retention and data integrity.
Protection Against Data Tampering and Loss:
Critical and sensitive data requires stringent protection. Assureon ensures that important data, especially unstructured data prone to infrequent changes, is securely stored and protected against tampering and ransomware attacks without disrupting ongoing operations.
Unique File Identification for Traceability and Security:
Assureon uses Secure Digital Fingerprints, which employ a combination of two cryptographic hashes for a unique file identifier. This feature ensures each file's authenticity and traceability, meeting stringent security and compliance requirements.
Accurate Time Stamping for Audit Trails:
For compliance and audit purposes, precise time stamping of data is essential. Assureon uses a global, redundant, secure time source, utilizing Stratum Level 1 hardware time sources, ensuring accurate timestamps for each file, further supporting audit and compliance needs.
Unbreakable Backup Against Malware and Ransomware:
With the increasing threats of malware targeting backups, Assureon, in conjunction with Unity, provides an Unbreakable Backup™ solution. This feature is the ultimate defense line to protect backups from malware, ransomware attacks, or user errors, enabling organizations to recover from worst-case scenarios.
