As ransomware and denial-of-service attacks increase in 2021, the necessity for cloud native data protection and recovery is at an all-time high.

If companies aren’t truly prepared, they will suffer significant losses. Trilio Data Inc., a cloud native data protection and recovery company, recently launched its latest release of TrilioVault for Kubernetes (TVK) v2.5. TrilioVault 2.5 emphasizes new capabilities that protect users from ransomware attacks in a cloud-native architecture.

“We look at everything from a zero-trust architecture … to adhering to [National Institute of Standards and Technology] standards and framework,” said David Safaii (pictured), chief executive officer of Trilio. “We’ll encrypt from the application all the way to the storage repository, and we’ll leverage key management systems. We are the most flexible, agnostic solution that there is in this market … so there’s a lot of flexibility there.”

Safaii spoke with Lisa Martin and David Nicholson, co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, during the recent KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA event. They discussed TrilioVault 2.5 and why Trilio stands out in regards to cloud native data protection and recovery. (* Disclosure below.)

Using future-proof standards for cloud native data protection and recovery

Trilio prides itself in being storage and cloud agnostic, and it can do this because it adheres to future-proof standards while developing its technology, according to Safaii. The company also gives customers an open format with no vendor lock-in, which helps play a part in future proofing.

“You’re going to see mixed workloads,” Safaii explained. “It shouldn’t matter where your application lives, right? At the end of the day, we will protect the application and its data. It can live anywhere. So conversations around multicloud change — we start to think and talk at cross-cloud … the ability to move your application, your data … wherever it needs to be.”

The ability to recover data from a ransomware attack is just as crucial to the conversation, according to Safaii. This is because while backing up data is easy, reorchestration of data is much more difficult, as a cloud native space is ever-changing from one day to the next.

“How do you reorchestrate something that’s complex? These applications in the cloud native space, they are amorphous; they’re living things. So that’s what’s so great about Trilio. It’s such an elegant solution that allows you to reorchestrate a point in time when and where you need it,” Safaii concluded.
