When Every Second Counts: Building Cyber Resilience Through A Smarter Approach to Data Protection | A Brand Story with Eric Herzog from Infinidat | An On Location RSAC Conference 2025 Brand Story

Storage often sits in the background of cybersecurity conversations—but not at Infinidat. In this episode, Eric Herzog, Chief Marketing Officer of Infinidat, joins Sean Martin to challenge the notion that storage is simply infrastructure. With decades of experience at IBM and EMC before joining Infinidat, Herzog explains why storage needs to be both operationally efficient and cyber-aware.

Cyber Resilience, Not Just Storage

According to Herzog, today’s enterprise buyers—especially those in the Global Fortune 2000—aren’t just asking how to store data. They’re asking how to protect it when things go wrong. That’s why Infinidat integrates automated cyber protection directly into its storage platforms, working with tools like Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and IBM QRadar. The goal: remove the silos between infrastructure and cybersecurity teams and eliminate the need for manual intervention during an attack or compromise.

Built-In Defense and Blazing-Fast Recovery

The integration isn’t cosmetic. Infinidat offers immutable snapshots, forensic environments, and logical air gaps as part of its storage operating system—no additional hardware or third-party tools required. When a threat is detected, the system can automatically trigger actions and even guarantee data recovery in under one minute for primary storage and under 20 minutes for backups—regardless of the dataset size. And yes, those guarantees are provided in writing.

Real-World Scenarios, Real Business Outcomes

Herzog shares examples from finance, healthcare, and manufacturing customers—one of which performs immutable snapshots every 15 minutes and scans data twice a week to proactively detect threats. Another customer reduced from 288 all-flash storage floor tiles to just 61 with Infinidat, freeing up 11 storage admins to address other business needs—not to cut staff, but to solve the IT skills shortage in more strategic ways.

Simplified Operations, Smarter Security

The message is clear: storage can’t be an afterthought in enterprise cybersecurity strategies. Infinidat is proving that security features need to be embedded, not bolted on—and that automation, integration, and performance can all coexist. For organizations juggling compliance requirements, sprawling infrastructure, and lean security teams, this approach delivers both peace of mind and measurable business value.
