Index Engines to showcase cyber resilience tech at IBM event

Index Engines has announced plans to demonstrate its approach to data integrity and ransomware recovery at IBM TechXchange 2025.

The company will present its CyberSense solution, which integrates immutable snapshots from IBM FlashSystems' Safeguarded Copy feature with forensic validation and artificial intelligence to address cyber resilience challenges in enterprise environments.

According to Index Engines, the combination of these technologies is seen as critical in establishing an effective cyber resilience stance. This resilience aims to support the detection and remediation of cyber incidents, as well as ensuring a confident and predictable recovery process after a ransomware event or data corruption.

Cyber resilience approach

CyberSense is built to validate the integrity of backup data using forensic analysis and machine intelligence, enabling organisations to detect malicious activity or corruption promptly. The use of immutable storage, via IBM FlashSystems' Safeguarded Copy, adds another protective layer by helping to ensure that captured snapshots of data cannot be altered or deleted by attackers.

Jim McGann, Vice President at Index Engines, commented on the significance of combining these elements in enterprise security strategies. He said:

"Immutable storage is a critical building block, but immutability alone cannot ensure recovery. Organisations must be able to recover rapidly, and with confidence. Index Engines and IBM are delivering a practical, validated path to achieve that goal."

The Index Engines team will use the event to highlight their practical solutions for organisations seeking to minimise reinfection risks, maintain business continuity, and achieve shorter recovery point objectives and accelerated restoration times after a cyberattack.

Technical sessions

Throughout the conference, Index Engines will feature a number of technical sessions focused on the integration, operation, and outcomes of their cyber resilience technologies.

One session, titled 'Index Engines & IBM: Advanced Cyber Resilience Through Validated Immutable Storage Recovery', will focus on how CyberSense can validate that backup snapshots are uncorrupted, detect threats within IBM Storage Sentinel, and enable a faster, more predictable recovery. The session aims to provide insights into architectures and operational strategies that go beyond traditional cyber prevention models.

Another session, 'CyberSense - IBM FlashSystem Integration Architecture and Recovery Automation', will provide a technical overview intended primarily for storage architects and engineers. The presentation will cover how CyberSense and IBM FlashSystems work together to automate recovery processes and validate snapshots as part of a wider cyber recovery workflow.

A further presentation is scheduled on the subject of service level agreements, specifically focusing on how CyberSense delivers a 99.99% service level for mission-critical healthcare environments. The discussion is set to include examples from real-world healthcare organisations, with reference to maintaining the availability of electronic health records, supporting diagnostic systems, and protecting patient safety during ransomware incidents.

Guaranteeing business continuity

Index Engines states that its approach allows businesses, particularly in sensitive sectors such as healthcare, to achieve measurable and guaranteed outcomes in their cyber resilience planning. The solution's continuous monitoring capability is positioned to rapidly detect any attempt to corrupt data, providing assurance for ongoing business operations and supporting post-incident recovery planning.

The company emphasises that successful cyber resilience depends not only on the use of immutable storage, but also on fast and accurate validation of backup integrity and recovery process automation. This integrated approach is intended to reduce manual intervention, speed up recovery times, and lower the risk of data reinfection.

Index Engines is offering opportunities to meet with their team in Orlando, aiming to help organisations formulate effective cyber resilience strategies using their combined technologies with IBM.
