January 27, 2025  |  Nasuni

Data Privacy Week, observed annually, is a global initiative aimed at empowering individuals and organizations to respect privacy, safeguard data, and build trust in the digital world. In today’s era of exponential data growth and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, prioritizing privacy has never been more critical. As we commemorate this important week, we spotlight how the Nasuni File Data Platform helps enterprises secure their file data, ensuring privacy and protection across cloud environments.

Uncompromising Data Encryption

Nasuni begins its security framework with strong encryption. Leveraging the AES-256 encryption standard, file data and metadata are encrypted both in transit and at rest. Each Nasuni Edge Appliance generates random encryption keys for every session, while customers retain control over the master encryption key, ensuring no unauthorized entity—including Nasuni itself—can access the data. This approach guarantees that even sensitive metadata, like file names and timestamps, remains protected.

Separation of Control and Data Paths

One of Nasuni’s unique security measures is the separation of the control path and data path. This design ensures that file data never leaves the customer’s security perimeter unless explicitly configured. The Nasuni Orchestration Center and Management Console provide centralized management and orchestration, while data is securely transmitted directly to the customer’s chosen public or private cloud object storage.

Immutable Snapshots and Air-Gap Protection

Nasuni’s Continuous File Versioning technology captures immutable snapshots of files as frequently as every minute. These snapshots are stored as Write Once Read Many (WORM) versions in cloud object storage, making them tamper-proof. In addition, cloud providers’ geo-redundant storage capabilities create an air-gap layer, safeguarding data against ransomware and other malicious threats.

Advanced Ransomware Protection

Ransomware remains one of the most pressing challenges in data privacy. Nasuni provides proactive ransomware detection and recovery capabilities, ensuring rapid response to attacks. The platform offers in-line detection, mitigation policies, and recovery timelines to minimize business disruptions. Integration with tools like Microsoft Sentinel further enhances monitoring and response across enterprise environments.

Built for Zero Trust and Compliance

Nasuni supports a Zero Trust architecture, where all users and devices must be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated. The platform seamlessly integrates with existing enterprise authentication systems like Active Directory and LDAP, allowing organizations to maintain strict access controls. Moreover, Nasuni meets critical compliance standards, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR, giving enterprises peace of mind in meeting their regulatory obligations.

Data Privacy Beyond the Basics

Data privacy isn’t just about compliance—it’s about resilience and trust. Nasuni enables organizations to harness the scalability of the cloud without compromising on security. By empowering enterprises with immutable data protection, seamless disaster recovery, and robust ransomware defenses, Nasuni ensures that your file data remains both accessible and secure.
