NeuralProtect Solution Brief
NeuralProtect: Real-Time Ransomware Protection Stopping Attacks Before Files Are Compromised
Qumulo NeuralProtect
Qumulo NeuralProtect delivers real-time ransomware and malware protection built directly into the storage platform. By inspecting every file at the point of write, it stops attacks before your data is encrypted, corrupted, or lost.
Detect. Isolate. Recover.
Qumulo NeuralProtect is built-in, real-time ransomware and malware protection embedded directly in the Qumulo storage platform. Unlike traditional backup or endpoint security tools that react after an attack, NeuralProtect uses Deep File Inspection to open and analyze every file at the moment it’s written — stopping threats before your data is ever encrypted, corrupted, or lost. It detects both known malware families and zero-day ransomware with industry-leading accuracy, automatically isolates threats by killing malicious sessions and creating defensive snapshots, and enables rapid recovery from known-good data. No separate infrastructure, no third-party add-ons — just smarter protection where it matters most: at the storage layer itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, NeuralProtect is priced as a 25% uplift on CNQ or ANQ $/TB pricing. On-premises licensing is currently TBD.
Unlike traditional approaches, NeuralProtect inspects every file at the point of write using deep file inspection and a mixture-of-models detection engine:
- Deterministic Model for known ransomware families
- Statistical Model for zero-day ransomware detection
- Temporal Model for sophisticated attacks designed to evade entropy detection
- Integrated Bitdefender Virus Detection Engine for malware detection
This content-based inspection dramatically improves detection accuracy while minimizing false positives.Yes, Qumulo NeuralProtect is ideal for organizations with high-value unstructured data, including:
- Healthcare and life sciences
