Visibility and classification
Go beyond metadata to classify real content. Track how sensitivity shifts over time and map full data lineage.
AI Data Security & Governance
The closer you are to the data, the stronger your control
becomes. AI agents and automated pipelines operate at machine speed. Real-time enforcement means unauthorized access is stopped, not just logged.
Every access request —human or machine— is evaluated in real time using data sensitivity, identity, and behavior.
Go beyond metadata to classify real content. Track how sensitivity shifts over time and map full data lineage.
Make access decisions where the data lives. Enforce policy and stop misuse before a single byte moves.
Detect AI-driven data exposure and monitor non-human identities. Maintain continuous compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and the EU AI Act.
Auditing for NAS events is a security measure that enables you to track and log certain SMB and NFS events on storage virtual machines (SVMs).
NetApp® ONTAP® logs management activities that are performed on a cluster, such as what request was issued, the user who triggered the request, the user’s access method, and the time of the request.
Understand and govern your data. Then prepare and deliver that data for AI applications at scale.
NetApp Data Classification scans selected
repositories to identify personal and
sensitive data. It maps and categorizes files,
extracts entities and patterns, and indexes
personal information, data categories, and
file types. It connects to NFS volumes as
read-only, while CIFS scanning requires
Active Directory credentials.
Data moves securely with permissions and access controls intact, giving compliance teams the visibility and control they need without creating bottlenecks. After the data is efficiently transformed into vector embeddings, data scientists get a secure RAG endpoint that they can simply copy and paste into any RAG-based GenAI application.
Autonomous Ransomware Protection with AI (ARP/AI) automates detection and snapshot creation.
Autonomous Ransomware Protection is built directly into ONTAP to perform workload analysis in NAS and SAN environments, proactively detecting and warning about abnormal activity that might indicate a ransomware attack. It operates in real-time, processing data as it is written to or read from storage, and responds automatically to protect data.

Use multi-admin verification to help ensure that certain operations, such as deleting volumes or snapshots, can be executed only after approvals from designated administrators. This prevents compromised, malicious, or inexperienced administrators from making undesirable changes or deleting data
