Discover why recovery confidence, active detection, and data-layer protection are becoming mandatory for enterprise resilience.

Despite record cybersecurity investment, organizations continue to suffer ransomware, insider threats, and data exfiltration. Why? Because traditional security tools protect networks and endpoints, but not the data layer itself.

In its February 2026 Market Guide, Gartner identifies as a distinct and rapidly emerging market designed to actively defend data storage systems against cyberattack.

The report emphasizes:

• The rise of data-layer active detection
• The need for recovery assurance — not just recovery speed
• Storage integration with SIEM, SOAR, and security operations
• Isolated recovery environments (IREs) as a new standard
• Buyer focus shifting to confidence in the last known clean copy

As attackers increasingly target recovery systems and storage control planes, Gartner notes that organizations must move beyond immutability alone and adopt active defense at the storage layer.
