One Minute or Less!!! Guaranteed. Infinidat, a Lenovo company, enables enterprises to recover from a cyberattack, such as ransomware or malware, in one minute or less, regardless of the size of the dataset. No other storage vendor offers this near-instantaneous recovery.
This ultra-fast recovery is being highlighted and celebrated during the 2026 Cybersecurity Awareness Month. It brings added awareness to CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, and other IT leaders about the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) that high-end enterprises now seek – and what threshold of RTO is not only possible, but achievable.
What a difference a year makes! One year ago, in The Register / Blocks & Files survey regarding enterprise cyber recovery, over 30% of large enterprises said that they target recovery in under 30 minutes to one hour; another 30% expect between 1 and 12 hours; the rest allow up to 24 hours.
However, AI has so significantly accelerated the cyberattack timelines over the past year that, for enterprises to avoid massive damage, prolonged downtime, financial loss and catastrophic uncertainty, recovery needs to be measured in minutes or seconds today, not hours.
Cybercriminals actively use AI tools in cyberattacks to increase the speed, scale, and sophistication of their campaigns. Ransomware attacks that averaged nine days to execute back in 2021 are now completed in under 30 minutes with an assist from AI, according to the Global Threat Report 2026 by CrowdStrike. It’s remarkable how ransomware execution has been accelerated 100 times over the last five years.
High-end enterprises need the recovery of business-critical data to be fast and guaranteed.
This is the unique value proposition that Infinidat offers. Infinidat’s InfiniBox® enterprise storage platforms feature a guaranteed Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of one minute or less to restore data from immutable snapshots, regardless of the overall dataset size. This capability is part of the InfiniSafe® cyber storage software suite that delivers instantaneous immutable data protection and rapid ransomware and cyberattack recovery.
In a live demo earlier this year, Infinidat demonstrated the recovery of 9.8 petabytes (PB) of data in four seconds. Remarkable!
In the wake of a ransomware or malware attack, the Global Fortune 500 and other large enterprises can fully restore availability to its dataset inside a 60-second window. This “window” of cyber time is changing expectations in the enterprise market and among service providers about recovery of a known good copy of data.
Awareness is increasing dramatically about this fact, and it should be part of every conversation about recovering from a cyberattack. Cybersecurity Awareness Month shines a bright spotlight on it, but it’s not just a fad or a flash in the pan. It is actually one of the most important elements of an effective strategy to address AI-driven cyberattacks.
We now live in a world of cyber at AI speed, with AI being utilized in over 80% of ransomware attacks, according to an MIT Sloan study.
Infinidat’s Next Gen Cyber Data Protection and Recovery – A Recovery First Strategy
Infinidat avoids having to use traditional data restoration, which relies on copying blocks of data back from a backup target to production storage, a process that typically can take hours or days for petabyte datasets with legacy or conventional storage systems. Infinidat leverages a point-and-click approach that mounts a locked, immutable snapshot directly back into the production path.
For a snapshot to be recovered in under a minute, its integrity must be fully preserved. InfiniSafe ensures this data integrity through immutable snapshots, logical air-gapping, a fenced forensic environment, and cyber detection.
Snapshots cannot be deleted, altered, or modified by any user or compromised admin credential before their predefined expiration date. Logical air-gapping separates the management and data planes, so that a “gap” exists, ensuring secure data management.
InfiniSafe provides an integrated, isolated fenced forensic environment, which is an isolated “sandbox” in the storage layer. The fenced forensic environment is where potential candidates are tested to be sure you are recovering a “known good copy” of the data. It prevents an enterprise from inadvertently re-infecting production storage infrastructure or recovering compromised, malware or ransomware-infected data during the recovery process.
Critical to this last step before restoring data is cyber detection, which is an automated capability that checks whether a snapshot of data is in a “known good” version before the final one-minute production recovery is fully completed.
InfiniSafe Cyber Detection is an advanced intelligence layer ─ built for Infinidat’s InfiniBox and InfiniBox™ SSA platforms ─ that performs deep content scanning on immutable snapshots to identify ransomware and malware attacks.
Reducing the threat window of cyberattacks is also a powerful approach to combatting cyberattacks. By executing defense mechanisms at the “speed of compute,” InfiniSafe essentially freezes data states before ransomware can spread. This effectively minimizes data loss and shrinks the window of exposure during an active attack.
Traditional backup and snapshot schedules leave gaps of hours between protection points. But InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection (ACP) closes this gap by shifting from scheduled protection to event-driven protection. And all of this is easily orchestrated to ensure your protected data can be validated and ready to recover.
As we recognize Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we are reminded that rapid recovery is now measured in minutes and seconds in the age of AI. One minute or less ─ the hallmark of Infinidat’s unprecedented speed of recovery, guaranteed, after a cyberattack against an enterprise, with business continuity on the line!
