Storage Detects Ransomware Faster Than EDR: ONTAP ARP's Real-Time Alert Pipeline

Traditional ransomware defenses like EDR and antivirus catch attacks after encryption has begun, but ONTAP's Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) detects suspicious encryption patterns at the storage layer in real-time. By shifting threat detection upstream and integrating with Datadog, organizations can alert security teams within seconds rather than hours, containing attacks before they spread across infrastructure.
