The Most Secure Storage on The Planet - NetApp

Why NetApp is bold enough to say they are the Most Secure Storage on the planet second to none.

Here I am going to break it down what NetApp proof itself on:

  1. NetApp has pledge it self to CISA Secure by Design Commitment. And you can read here what that is about also what the pledge entails.
  2. NetApp also comply to NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 by folloing the stringent guidelines entail here.
  3. NetApp has comly to a list security certifications as details here. To list a few, DoDIN APL, FIPS 140, Common Criteria, etc.
  4. Lastly, NetApp is validated by CISA for CSfC to store secret and top-secret National Security Systems (NSS) data.


That is all what NetApp has proof. Why not let a third party do validated.
  1. NetApp engaged SE Labs to test out its built in Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) with AI against 15 ransomware family, and has achieve a AAA rating. The only storage on the planet so far to get this rating. It proof that ARP was able to detect all 100% accuracy of the attack and able to protect 99% of all such attack.
  2. This year 2025, NetApp has also reinforce this status.


Lastly, this is all made possible with NetApp secret sauce, ONTAP, the operating system that sit in its unified solutions. This also means that ARP is available on the on prem hardware appliance, ONTAP Select (Virtual Machine) and Cloud Data Services such as AWS FSxN.

Coming ONTAP 9.17.1, NetApp will also offer ARP to its Block Storage on ONTAP. This will also be offered by cloud offering later once ONTAP 9.17.1 is adopted by the Cloud Service Providers. Having block ransomware protection will be very applicable for database and virtual environment such as VMware, RedHat, etc. This will further provide any storage even HCI such as vSAN or third party storage if it is front by ONTAP Select. Giving customer the ability to centralize manage using NetApp BlueXP.

This makes NetApp the First and ONLY vendor that offers ransomware protection for File and Block.

With all the above, do you think NetApp live up to be the Most Secure Storage on the Planet?
