Hey Guys

Currently I am working with EMC VNX(e), Unity with regards to CAVA  and AntiVirus and now I am thinking about how this works for EMC DD because I didn't see any CAVA or AV related topics for DD.

I know that when you use DDBoost you have your own protocol and filesystem which is more or less safe and doesn't work anyway with the technology which RPC, CAVA and all the other relies on.

But you can also you normal cifs shares on the DD and many of our customers do. So how to protect EMC Data Domain against Ransomware etc? The only thing I saw is not a product for DD it is more a way of how to design the environment with resperct to backup and security.

So the only security I have is the way I connect the DD to the Backup Server and the Backup Servers AV, is that correct?

Thanks guys
