Active Defense against cyber threats, at the storage layer.
BrickStor SP is a file server that runs on a data-centric Zero Trust architecture, built to help the public and private sector actively defend sensitive unstructured data. Most storage is passive. It holds your data and waits. BrickStor inspects every operation as it happens and responds before damage is done, weighting ransomware, insider misuse, and data theft equally.
Ransomware
Blocked as the attack begins
Factory-applied security best practices and behavior-based detection identify ransomware activity and stop it at the storage processor, before it can encrypt your file shares.
Data theft
Exfiltration caught in real time
Abnormal access and bulk movement of unstructured data trigger immediate response, so an attempt to remove data is stopped as it happens rather than found after the fact.
Insider & APT
Trusted access, verified continuously
Integrated user behavior auditing and analytics give real-time visibility into how data is accessed and by whom, surfacing insider threats, advanced persistent threats, and nation-state activity.
Deploy as a VM on any Nutanix cluster. Store and protect in one step.
BrickStor SP builds upon the native security within Nutanix AHV to deliver a dynamic, robust file solution. Deploy it as a virtual machine on any Nutanix cluster to store and protect data efficiently, with no separate security stack to assemble and no rip and replace.
It supports the latest file protocol versions and pairs space efficient storage with encryption at rest and immutable snapshots, so a clean copy is always available for recovery. Integrated auditing and analytics keep the whole environment visible from one console.

What Active Defense does the moment your shares are attacked
Protection runs inline at the storage layer, on every read and write, not as a nightly job you hope succeeds.
01
Detect
See it in under a second
Active Defense inspects every SMB, NFS, and S3 operation inline, flagging ransomware, credentialed misuse, and abnormal data movement in under a second.
02
Stop
Cut it off
Suspicious activity is isolated at the storage processor and reported instantly, containing the incident while uncompromised users and applications keep working.
03
Recover
Restore only what was hit
Immutable snapshots preserve clean copies, and Intelligent Bulk Recovery restores only the files an attack touched, with cryptographic verification. Recovery is measured in minutes.
File and object, protected the same way
BrickStor SP protects the NFS, SMB, and S3 shares hosted on your Nutanix cluster, and extends the same Active Defense and audit to browser-based Web Drive access, with no client to install.
