COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
-- Hardened Kubernetes data management enhances the most comprehensive
Kubernetes backup/restore, disaster recovery, and application mobility platform
Kasten by Veeam(R) (
), the market leader for Kubernetes backup and disaster recovery, today
announced the availability of the new Kasten K10 v4.0 (
), its award-winning, Kubernetes data management platform. With unparalleled
ease of use, end-to-end security, and a rich ecosystem of support across the
entire application stack, the latest version of Kasten K10 is the most complete
enterprise data management solution to date. Purpose-built for Kubernetes,
Kasten K10 v4.0 delivers the industry's first Kubernetes native ransomware
protection capabilities, providing much needed immutability (
) against ransomware attacks.
"Ransomware is one of the most pressing enterprise issues. The most
conservative estimates put global ransomware losses upward of $20 billion in
2020[1]. These attacks increasingly target Kubernetes users since container
adoption has become a prerequisite for IT modernization and digital
transformation," said Niraj Tolia, President and General Manager, Kasten by
Veeam. "Malicious actors know that rapid development, gaps in install, and
ongoing backup and operations issues can be easy threat vectors for ransomware.
The new ransomware data protection capabilities in Kasten K10 plug these gaps,
providing an extremely effective defense against ransomware attacks in
Kubernetes environments."
The capabilities introduced in the new Kasten K10 v4.0 underscore Kasten's
dedication to Kubernetes users, integrating cloud native architecture
principles and hardened security capabilities into a Kubernetes-native platform
that delivers continuous environment and performance optimization. Kasten K10
v4.0 is the company's most significant update to its Kubernetes data management
platform since its acquisition by Veeam (
), enabling DevOps and PlatformOps teams to effectively address the threat of
ransomware in containerized environments. Kasten K10 v4.0 also includes a
number of new partnership certifications and enhanced support for more data
services. Additionally, the updated platform introduces several enhancements
for ease of use that refine multi-cluster support with advanced automation
capabilities for simplified backup and restore.
Key new features include:
Security:
-- Kubernetes data protection to make immutability possible for protection
against ransomware, malicious insider attacks, or accidental deletions
Ease of Use:
-- Application-centric policies enabling authorized users to create Kasten
K10 policies in an application's namespace for protecting only that
specific application
Expanded Ecosystem Support:
-- Rich ecosystem integrations with support for HPE Ezmeral Container
Platform, Nutanix Karbon, Red Hat OpenShift, Microsoft Azure Stack, and
backup to NFS targets
"Evaluator Group research (
) shows that cybersecurity and data protection have received a significant
increase in attention due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is in large part
because ransomware attacks continue to become more frequent and more
sophisticated," said Krista Macomber, Senior Analyst, Evaluator Group.
"Protecting against these types of attacks as enterprises prepare for their
adoption of production and business-critical Kubernetes environments is
critical. Capabilities such as those made available in Kasten K10 v4.0 can
simplify the process of shoring up Kubernetes environments from ransomware,
better positioning customers to avoid gaps in coverage that could lead to
extremely costly data loss and downtime."
New Kasten K10 v4.0 will be featured during KubeCon EU + CloudNativeCon EU 2021
(
) as well as VeeamON 2021 (
).

"Kubernetes has quickly become one of the core enablers of hybrid-cloud, but
it's quick adoption in the enterprise has made it a likely target of
cyberattacks, particularly ransomware," said Kris Inapurapu, VP of Business
Development, MinIO. "Immutability for Kubernetes applications, like what is
delivered by K10 v4.0, in combination with consistent, performant object
storage creates scalable and resilient backups that provide organizations with
hardened defenses against the threat of ransomware and other malicious
attacks."
"As organizations aim for greater simplicity and deployment flexibility,
containers and Kubernetes have become an important element of a multi-cloud
data management strategy," said Paul Speciale, Chief Product Officer, Scality.
"Within the cloud-native ecosystem, however, Kubernetes backups have become
prime targets of ransomware attacks. In these environments, applications and
data need to be accessible and portable, but also hardened with protection
capabilities like those Kasten provides. K10 v4.0 ensures organizations reap
the benefits of easy-to-use, but ultra-resilient backup and disaster recovery
capabilities as they scale their services and workloads without the looming
threat of ransomware. Scality fully supports backups from Kasten K10 with data
immutability over the S3 API and object locking."
