This strategic acquisition marks a significant step towards addressing the challenges of data fragmentation and expanding cyberstorage capabilities.

Cyberstorage, a rapidly emerging security category, has gained traction due to the increasing sophistication of cyber threats. It bridges the gap between network infrastructure and storage systems, providing a data-centric approach to security for enhanced resilience. Superna excels in this domain, empowering customers to monetize unstructured data across multiple platforms while safeguarding their growing data assets from modern cyber threats.

DefendX, founded in 1994, has earned a reputation for optimizing primary storage space by identifying and organizing irrelevant and relevant files. It closely monitors critical files and user access to ensure security and compliance. This acquisition allows Superna to extend its security capabilities and close the data security gap left by traditional data protection technologies. Additionally, DefendX’s compelling data migration capability enhances Superna’s Data Orchestration portfolio, enabling customers to seamlessly move data across platforms and storage tiers.

Superna’s commitment to innovation is evident in its decade-long evolution of its solution portfolio, securing over 5 exabytes of data globally. This acquisition further solidifies Superna’s leadership at the intersection of storage security and data protection. By integrating DefendX’s innovative capabilities with Superna’s industry-leading data protection, customers can achieve a Hybrid Cloud Zero Trust Security model for their unstructured data.

DefendX’s market-tested and reliable technology aligns with Superna’s vision of delivering comprehensive cyberstorage solutions across multiple platforms. This integration empowers customers to focus on leveraging their data rather than worrying about cybersecurity exposure. DefendX technology will enhance Superna users’ ecosystem, enabling proactive detection, defense, and recovery from unknown threats.

The acquisition, completed in December 2023, has already set the stage for integrating DefendX technologies into Superna’s solution sets. This strategic move underscores Superna’s dedication to providing innovative and comprehensive data security and cyberstorage solutions to thousands of organizations worldwide.
