InfoScale and Cloud Storage Security Partner to Bring Runtime Risk Intelligence to Autonomous Resilience
The new integration helps organizations continuously assess the trustworthiness of primary data and autonomously respond to cyber risk while keeping mission-critical operations running.
Cyber resilience is entering a new era. For years, organizations have invested heavily in preventing attacks, detecting threats, and accelerating recovery. Yet as ransomware and other cyber threats continue to evolve, enterprises are recognizing a new operational challenge: recovery alone is no longer enough. Business-critical applications can't simply wait for recovery workflows to begin after an attack. Organizations need the ability to understand cyber risk in real time and make intelligent operational decisions while production remains online.
Today, we're excited to announce a new partnership between InfoScale and Cloud Storage Security that helps organizations do exactly that. Together, we're bringing runtime risk intelligence about primary data into InfoScale's Autonomous Resilience platform, enabling organizations to continuously evaluate data trustworthiness and operationally respond to cyber risk as it unfolds.
Closing the Runtime Resilience Gap
Traditional cyber resilience architectures were built around recovery. Security platforms detect threats. Backup platforms protect copies. Recovery platforms restore systems. But one critical question often remains unanswered while production applications are still running:
Can this application continue operating safely on trusted data?
This is what we call the Runtime Resilience Gap.
While security tools provide valuable visibility into endpoints, networks, identities, and cloud infrastructure, the integrity of live primary production data has traditionally remained outside the operational decision loop. In many environments, organizations don't gain confidence in the trustworthiness of data until storage- or backup-based validation occurs—often after business disruption has already begun. As attacks become faster and more sophisticated, waiting until recovery to understand data integrity is no longer sufficient. Organizations need to understand the cyber posture of production data in real time and respond operationally before disruption becomes downtime.
Bringing Runtime Risk Intelligence into Operations
Through this partnership, Cloud Storage Security continuously scans primary production data, generating runtime risk intelligence about malware and data integrity where business operations actually occur. InfoScale consumes that intelligence as part of its application-aware orchestration engine.
Instead of treating malware scanning as a separate security process or a validation step during recovery, runtime risk intelligence becomes an operational input that helps determine the next best action for production workloads. By combining application awareness, infrastructure intelligence, and primary data risk assessment, InfoScale can automate operational decisions based on both business policy and the current trustworthiness of production data.
How It Works
The integration follows a continuous operational workflow:
- Cloud Storage Security scans primary data to identify malware and assess data integrity.
- Runtime risk intelligence is shared with InfoScale, extending its understanding of operational state beyond infrastructure and application health to data security posture.
- InfoScale correlates cyber risk with application topology, storage relationships, and operational policies to determine the safest course of action.
- Policy-driven orchestration executes the appropriate operational response, helping organizations maintain trusted operations while cyber events continue to evolve.
Depending on business policy and operational context, InfoScale can support actions such as:
- Continuing production operations when data remains trusted
- Isolating affected workloads to limit the spread of compromise
- Redirecting applications to trusted storage resources
- Initiating orchestrated failover when operational risk exceeds defined thresholds
- Alerting operators with contextual intelligence to support rapid decision-making
The objective is not simply detecting malware. The objective is maintaining trusted operations.
Advancing Autonomous Resilience
This partnership represents another step in the evolution of Autonomous Resilience. Rather than treating cybersecurity and operations as separate disciplines, organizations can now use runtime cyber intelligence to inform operational decision-making. Security becomes more than detection. Operations become more than availability.
Together, they enable a more adaptive operating model one that continuously evaluates operational state, understands the trustworthiness of production data, and responds intelligently to changing conditions. Recovery remains an essential capability, but it is no longer the primary objective. The goal is to keep critical business services running safely, confidently, and continuously even while cyber threats are actively unfolding.
Looking Ahead
As enterprises modernize their resilience strategies, the ability to operationalize security intelligence will become increasingly important. The partnership between InfoScale and Cloud Storage Security reflects a shared vision: helping organizations move beyond reactive recovery toward continuous, trusted operations powered by real-time risk intelligence. By bringing primary data risk directly into operational orchestration, we're helping customers close the Runtime Resilience Gap and take another step toward truly Autonomous Resilience. We look forward to working together to help enterprises protect what matters most: not just their data, but the trusted operations that depend on it.
