Smarter, Strategic Thinking · IBM FlashSystem: 20PB Density & 60-Second Ransomware Detection · 5 Aug 2026 podcast

We don't actually do anything apart from that.

So we just alert.

We don't block anything or change anything.

We don't turn anything off because...

we want the human to make the decision.

So they can make the decision whether to pull the plug on the internet or turn the box off or do something with the workload.

Or they can have a look at our safeguarded copy snapshots and then restore from a snapshot.

Because what we've had in the past, for example, if someone forgets to tell the system that they turn on the encryption,

And encryption, obviously, if you turn on IBM encryption, it looks like ransomware.

So that's why a human will always make the last decision.

It's all depending on how much space you've got.

Because I think you'll run out of space before you run out of the logical limit of snapshots because it's into the hundreds or the thousands.

But it uses up a little bit of space every time you do a snapshot because it recognizes what's changed since the last snapshot.

Going back to the ransomware, we will detect it in 60 seconds.

That's actually a guarantee.

We actually guarantee that with a legal contract with the customer.

And then you go back to the snapshot.

Just be aware that you need to make sure, obviously, when you go back to that snapshot, it's clean and everything else.

So we've got tools out there as well called Sentinel that will make sure that that snapshot is clean before you make this decision to go back to the snapshot.

Yep, we guarantee that one as well.
