BrickStor SP is a data security software platform that eliminates the threat of ransomware attacks and data breaches. Built by Department of Defense intelligence community veterans charged with protecting the nation’s data, enterprise and government customers running BrickStor will be protected from ransomware attacks and data breaches while meeting their data security compliance regulatory requirements.

HPE is the edge-to-cloud platform-as-a-service company that helps organizations accelerate outcomes by unlocking value from all of their data.

“Enterprises and government entities are losing the cyber-war because they are using old tools and 90’s design standards which are largely focused on stopping network infiltration, rather than protecting data. Based on our experience, most of the bad guys are already inside the network today,” said Eric Bednash, CEO, RackTop. “BrickStor attacks the problem properly by securing unstructured data at its source so that it can’t be seized, maliciously encrypted, or exploited. Together with HPE and their world class secure and versatile hardware, for the first time, customers can achieve end-to-end infrastructure security from a single vendor without gaps or loosely coupled bolt-ons.“

As digital transformation accelerates, unstructured data growth has occurred, making up nearly 80% of what enterprises store. With this explosion in unstructured data growth, there is also an explosion in cyber-attack losses – $11 billion due to ransomware in 2019 alone.

Organizations are using 1990’s design philosophies and yesterday’s ineffective security tools that don’t integrate well with each other or with large data systems to solve data security challenges. This problem is compounded as security and infrastructure & operations (I&O) people work on different teams, and the security folks, focused on traditional networks and endpoint devices are largely unaware of how I&O systems are actually storing and sharing data. As a result, the vast majority of data breaches go unnoticed and unaddressed when they first occur.

RackTop tackles this problem by embedding its security and compliance software within a scalable storage system for unstructured files in order to protect the data where it lives. As a result, its customers don’t have to worry about securing their massive volumes of unstructured data and adhering to regulatory compliance guidelines.  

“BrickStor SP fills a high data security need in the storage market. We are entering a new era in IT infrastructure where security and compliance are a necessity,” said Chris Powers, VP, collaborative platform development, HPE storage and big data. “RackTop’s storage software and security platform is a natural fit with our ProLiant and Apollo Servers which feature silicon-anchored, cradle-to-grave security. Together we bring our Federal Government customers a complete Zero Trust data security solution.“

BrickStor SP is available on the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 and Apollo 4200 Gen10 servers with support for the expansion HPE D3600 and D3700 enclosures.

Product benefits include: 

• Automatic, immutable ransomware recovery
• Reduction of operation and maintenance burden on IT teams. Many legacy products can be eliminated with RackTop in place.
• Know what you don’t know with user behavior analytics and metadata intelligence services – insiders and adversaries can be stealing your data right now, but you don’t even know it. The firm can tell you when it’s happening and stop it.
• Easily address complex compliance issues like NIST, CMMC, SEC, and HIPAA with built-in reporting and policy-based controls
• Zero Trust data security architecture
• Protect data at rest with 2 independent layers of encryption
• Keep data separated logically with security context labeling

BrickStor SP is available.
