As ransomware attacks become more sophisticated and relentless, organizations need proactive defense that starts where attackers do — at the data layer. Superna’s latest innovation for PowerStore delivers real-time visibility and control to reduce risk before an attack begins and stop threats the moment they strike.
Key Capabilities:
Real-Time Threat Detection & Response:
Superna continuously monitors all file activity using Dell’s Common Event Enabler (CEE) APIs to detect ransomware and suspicious behavior the moment it begins — enabling rapid containment directly at the storage layer.
Complete File Workload Coverage:
Unlike point solutions that protect only specific file types or access methods, Superna secures all file data on PowerStore, including data accessed via Windows File Servers — closing critical visibility and control gaps.
Automated Incident Response Playbooks:
Upon detection of a threat, Superna can immediately quarantine compromised shares, disable Active Directory accounts, and isolate hosts through deep integration with third-party tools — reducing manual response time to seconds.
Denial-of-Service (DoS) Prevention:
Quota-based controls prevent attackers or rogue users from overwhelming PowerStore systems by flooding them with malicious files.

Reinfection Prevention:
Post-attack scanning policies flag and isolate files capable of reintroducing malware, ensuring a secure recovery with no hidden threats.
Governance & Compliance Reporting:
Comprehensive audit trails track every file access, user action, and system change, enabling regulatory compliance and policy enforcement.
Purpose-Built for Dell PowerStore:
Packaged with a simple, per-appliance license, Superna Data Security Essentials offers unlimited protection for NAS and Windows workloads on Superna-enabled PowerStore systems, giving Dell customers an easy path to enterprise-grade cyber resilience.
