About Sheltered Harbor solutions

Sheltered Harbor's endorsement of NetBackup confirms that it meets Sheltered Harbor's prescribed Data Vaulting Solution Requirements and provides a secure environment for the daily data vaulting process:

  • Immutable storage: During a cyberattack, the vault remains immutable and the data cannot be erased or modified in any worst-case scenario.

  • Survivable vault: The vault is accessible even when the institution's infrastructure fails. The financial institution can retrieve the data easily and maintain continuous access to essential processes.

  • Controlled environment: The decentralized environment secures the data from being tampered. Data is easily accessible and is kept separate from the institution's infrastructure.

To enable and use the Sheltered Harbor functionality within the NetBackup Sheltered Harbor Solution (including certification), institutions must first sign-up to participate in Sheltered Harbor.

Consequently, institutions that implement the NetBackup client properly should be able to achieve certification more quickly and easily.
