Qumulo Unveils NeuralProtect for Real-Time Ransomware Prevention

On May 28, 2026, Qumulo launched NeuralProtect, a ransomware resilience solution designed to protect data at the storage layer. This innovative tool detects and stops threats before data can be encrypted, corrupted, or lost. NeuralProtect integrates directly into the Qumulo Data Platform and utilizes AI-driven analysis models to identify both known and zero-day threats. It performs Deep File Inspection at the point-of-write, allowing for immediate isolation of malicious activity and enabling rapid recovery. The system boasts a false-positive rate of less than 0.01% and reduces detection-to-mitigation time to seconds. It is particularly effective when combined with Cisco Hypershield and Splunk, offering a coordinated response across the network. This proactive approach shifts ransomware protection from reactive recovery to proactive prevention, addressing a critical gap in traditional cybersecurity strategies.

Key Points: • NeuralProtect detects and stops ransomware before data encryption occurs. • The solution integrates with Cisco Hypershield and Splunk for coordinated threat response. • It features a low false-positive rate and rapid detection-to-mitigation times.
