Key Features:
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) Everywhere - Across all product interfaces—GUI, CLI, SSH—further reducing attack surfaces.
- Multi-Person Authorization for Critical Operations - Prevents malicious operations (data deletions, etc.) from being performed if a user’s workstation is compromised—a designated approver must confirm before the operation can proceed.
- Inline Malware Scanning During Recover - Lower the risk from zero-day threats with integrated malware scanning during a restore, along with new support for cloud VMs and Universal Shares.
- Anomaly Detection Enhancements - Ability to identify system-level or user behavior anomalies using ML and audit trails.
- Expanded S3 Immutability Support - Immutable object lock support available for IBM Cloud Object Storage, Data Core Cloud Cluster Storage, and NetApp Storage Grid.
- Extend CSI-Based Snapshot Support - Backup from snapshot for block-based and file-based storage in the same namespace allowing for parallel stream recovery and up to a 218% performance gain restore.
- Enhanced Media Server Elasticity and Intelligence - Optimize spin-up to incrementally improve efficiency with the smallest deployment of a media server image.
