How to Improve Cyber Resilience odds with a modern architecture

Why Dell PowerScale + Superna Deliver 200× Stronger Data Recovery Probability

Introduction

Cyber resilience is not about features.

It’s about probability.

When a cyber incident hits — ransomware, insider misuse, hijacked admin credentials, policy tampering — the only number that matters is:

What is the probability my organization can fully recover its data?

The real question is:

What is the statistical likelihood that recovery fails?

This is where Dell PowerScale + Superna fundamentally change the equation.

This Is Not Just 2FA

The Dell Powerscale MPA feature is not simply two-factor authentication.

It is:

Two-Factor Authentication + Multi-Person Authorization (MPA) for sensitive configuration changes that directly impact data recovery.

Multi-Person Authorization requires quorum approval for high-risk actions such as:
– Snapshot deletion
– Snapshot expiry modification
– Replication policy tampering
– Configuration changes that affect recovery posture

Two-factor authentication protects login.
Multi-Person Authorization protects recovery integrity.

Protecting Data In Place — Before Recovery Is Needed

Superna Data Security Edition (DSE) continuously monitors user behavior in real time across production storage, analyzing:
– Access velocity
– Write frequency anomalies
– Encryption behavior patterns
– Lateral movement across datasets
– Privilege misuse patterns
– Deviation from historical baselines

When anomalous behavior crosses thresholds, DSE can:
– Trigger identity-driven snapshots across all accessible datasets
– Lock out compromised users
– Isolate access paths
– Stop destructive activity in progress

This is in-place production protection that reduces blast radius and increases recovery probability.

Enterprise Airgap: Removing Network-Based Destruction Paths

The vault:
– Is unreachable from compromised production networks
– Is not dependent on primary storage OS integrity
– Is isolated at the device level
– Enforces Multi-Person Authorization for recovery-impacting changes

Airgap removes entire network-based destruction paths from the probability tree.

File-Level Zero-Downtime Recovery

Superna generates a file-level recovery plan that:
– Determines the optimal snapshot per file
– Validates snapshot coverage
– Identifies unrecoverable objects
– Restores surgically without volume rollback

This is cyber recovery architecture.

The Multiplicative Effect on Probability

Each of the following removes an independent failure path:
– Two-Factor Authentication
– Multi-Person Authorization
– Real-time behavioral monitoring
– Identity-driven global snapshot orchestration
– Enterprise airgap isolation
– File-level validated recovery

When independent risks are eliminated, probability improves multiplicatively — not linearly.

Dell PowerScale + Superna cyber resilience architecture delivers up to 200× stronger data recovery probability compared to standard snapshot architectures.

This represents a two-order-of-magnitude shift in recovery assurance.

Conclusion

Cyber resilience is a probability model.

Dell PowerScale + Superna remove independent failure paths across production, recovery posture, and vault integrity.

That is why this architecture delivers up to 200× stronger data recovery probability and represents the industry’s most resilient data recovery design for both minor incidents and major destructive attacks.

Cyber resilience is about changing the math in your favor.
